An evening of new music brought to you by Richer Unsigned
On Wednesday 17th August 1960 at The Indra in Hamburg, Germany a fresh new band called “The Beatles” played their first ever gig. Two years later, on 12th July 1962, a blues-covers band called “The Rolling Stones” performed their first show. Now, 42 years later – 15th July 2014 – a date that will go down with these two in the musical history books. Richer Unsigned in conjunction with Q Magazine & Sennheiser bring you An Evening of New Music.
This showcase, the second in a series of regular quarterly events, sees the cream of the crop from Richer Unsigned’s monthly competition display their talents to a specially selected audience of music journalists and industry folk at the exclusive Chelsea venue ‘The Pheasantry’.
All artists performing have been specially selected by Q Magazine – the UK’s biggest Music Magazine. Q’s editors have chosen bands and artists with merit who finished high in the monthly Richer Unsigned chart to perform a twenty minute set at our ‘Industry-Only’ event.
Ellis Palmer, a singer from Bury St. Edmonds, featured on Richer Unsigned with his track “Movement”. Invoking Omar Lye-Fook and The Brand New Heavies, we will be treated to an exhibit of some very special soulful tones. Ellis Palmer will be providing us with some top-notch jazz-funk-hip-hop-pop-fusion, otherwise known as Neo-Soul.
KynchinLay will be bringing their unique style of Rock all the way from the unofficial World-Capital-of-Music ™ Liverpool, UK. They will be showing off their influences; Stadium Rock, Industrial, Power-Pop, New-Wave and Punk. Never has such swagger seemed quite at home in such a beautiful and historic building.
Cowboy 76er received fantastic ratings and subsequently erned his place on the line-up with his track “Dance With Me”. His music varies from simple yet beautiful melodies to more complex acoustic playing. Vocally Coyboy 76er, aka Gary Sharp, resembles a current (2000’s – 2014) Bob Dylan or a classic Cat Stevens.
Gold Jacks gave the world “Neon Soul” and won a place infront of the Q Magazine panel. Gold Jacks are a Blues-Rock band from Manchester that bring something new to the table. Their drums skip along with an extra beat, and the vocals soar with a rare enthusiasm. Making the hairs on your arms tingle, these humble guys from The North™ bring us exciting Rock with aplomb.
Lastly (and certainly not leastly) is our most recent Richer Unsigned Winner, Innes. This Yorkshire based Singer/Songwriter won the competition with her original tune “Where Will You Go”. A talented Acoustic-Pop singer, she showed everyone what she is musically capable of with her unique composition on lost love. Mixing equal parts Country Soul, Piano-Pop and Indie Singer/Songwriting, Innes creates songs that are both haunting and catchy – something we are looking forward to seeing when she plays to our specially selected industry panel.
We are thrilled to anounce this line-up, and are very much looking forward to whats-to-come from this varied selection of talented artists. Richer Unsigned is commited to bring you the best in new music. Our aim is to help give exposure to hard-working bands and singers: From showcase gigs, to reviews and coverage, Richer Unsigned in conjunction with Q Magazine and Sennheiser, will be giving more artists the chance to take the next step along the way to musical stardom.
