Charlie Houston at The Croft
See event details

A gig held at The Croft on Monday 18th May. The event starts at 19:30.


Growing up in Toronto, Canada, Houston was the youngest of four siblings. When she was eight years old, her dad, a fellow musician who used to play in local garage punk bands, gifted her a guitar. Whereas many singer-songwriters got their start performing covers, Houston remained focused on “making something that didn’t exist before.” She also began learning how to produce for herself on GarageBand, which felt like “unlocking a whole other world.” Houston’s music has always felt technical in its nuance and attention to detail, where melody and topline interlace themselves seamlessly, and the dreamy sonic exterior almost makes you forget what’s lurking underneath. Big After I Die (2025), Charlie's debut record, is a 9-song exploration of the precarious and often surreal experience of learning who you are while transitioning between phases of life. Although she just graduated with a degree in philosophy, the record is her own personal thesis examining her search to find greater meaning in life: the omnipresent, existential questions that she had been fixated on for so long. It also signifies a rebirth, of faith in herself and her intuition. Support TBA £12 ADV // More OTD
