Chalk House Sessions Presents Serious Child & My Girl The River Sussex folk pop meets Louisiana Americana – two very different songwriters bringing something beautiful to each other’s songs. Tickets and more info: www.chalkhousesessions.co.uk Bar from 5:30pm Doors 7:30 – 10:30pm. Serious Child “I am about to utter the most fearsome words in folk,” says Alan Young, aka Serious Child. “This is a song about my grandmother – and it’s a singalong.” – Arts Republic With a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for detail, Young draws from folk and pop to explore stories of the everyday. “writes about Britain today in a way that is almost tactile… with wit, style, intelligence and bags of melody” ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ Spiral Earth My Girl the River Kris Wilkinson Hughes aka My Girl the River is a Louisiana native who landed in the UK after a decade performing in Nashville. With her ‘sugared espresso’ vocals and sharp writing, Kris is funny, warm and feisty with a sackful of hook laden songs. She’ll be drawing from her recently released and critically acclaimed album ‘Songs About Space’, a personal collection that travels all the way from the outer edges of the galaxy to a seedy bar in LA. “stunned by the way she uses her voice…. smooth… but… a dangerously cutting edge… somewhere between Allison Russell, Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell” – Rockin’ Magpie
