Described as a ‘unique and exciting indie voice’ (Shane Dunne - Sigrid), Irish singer-songwriter James Or has shared the stage with Frank Turner, Grant Lee Philips, The Pogues, and more across his career to date. Praised for the honesty, wit, and authenticity of his songwriting, James OR has built a reputation as an artist who finds meaning in the quirks of everyday life. His debut album All the Beds We’ve Been In captured themes of isolation, resilience, and recovery that resonated deeply in recent years. James’ beautifully melodic, introspective songwriting, drawing from the same wells as compatriot Glen Hansard and Elbow’s Guy Garvey, has been praised for its authenticity, earning him numerous plaudits, including a place on Irish music bible Hotpress’s ‘Ones to Watch’ listings. ‘Ireland has a fine heritage of producing great popstars, and here we have another’. — Phil Taggart (BBC RADIO 2, SLACKER PODCAST) ‘Powerful’ — Ed Smith (Today FM) Support comes from Irish-born, London-based songwriter Brian Grogan. Influenced by artists including Damien Rice, Bon Iver and Frightened Rabbit, Brian's music balances intimate songwriting with expansive arrangement...

An intimate evening with Richard Shindell

Green Note · London

***NB: This show is mixed seating and standing. Seating is limited and available on a first come first served basis.*** Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds, that informs his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery, busked in the streets of Paris, opened for Joan Baez (who covered several of his songs), and collaborated with Grammy-winner Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Elvis Costello). Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his most recent release, Careless, offered an ambitious, luxurious, full-length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing the time and latitude to explore, experiment, take risks—to play—as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless a...

Night River presents... DG Solaris + Hattie Whitehead

Green Note · London

DG Solaris returns to Green Note for his fifth annual end-of-year show, a chance to share new songs and catch up with old friends and supporters, this time joined by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead. The project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Danny Green, DG Solaris moves between intimate indie-folk, off-kilter pop and something altogether harder to pin down. Formerly frontman of cult indie-folk band Laish, Green has released music through the years to acclaim from BBC 6 Music, Uncut, Mojo and more, and has toured extensively across the UK and Europe. This Green Note show comes ahead of a new DG Solaris album, A Childish Idea, a playful, restless collection that pushes beyond the quieter folk of previous records into something more rhythmic, colourful and alive. Expect new songs, old favourites, stories, special guests and a few surprises along the way. Opening the evening is Hattie Whitehead. A formidable performer in her own right, Hattie is also the voice of Hejira, the acclaimed band celebrating the music of Joni Mitchell. She is one of Danny’s favourite collaborators, and the pair will join forces for a few songs during the evening. An intimate evening of songs and co...

MorMor

ICA · London

Seth Nyquist, better known as MorMor, used to work in isolation. This self-contained process led to his 2018 breakout song “Heaven’s Only Wishful,” a stunningly singular ballad that stopped the world in its tracks and brought him personal praise from both Max Martin’s MXM Music and Steven Malkmus. His debut album Semblance, written and recorded during the pandemic lockdowns, followed in 2022. For his new era, however, collaboration is key. “Working alone sucks,” he says with a laugh, shaking his head at how things used to be. “It’s torturous and isolating.” The days of detachment in this new era and in their place is a feeling of letting go and allowing others in. Celeste, the Brit and Mercury Prize nominee, appears on the brand new single “Like Heaven.” Her voice sits perfectly alongside Nyquist’s cut-glass tenor, arriving like an intoxicating cloud of smoke and pushing a song about finding hope in faithless times to truly ascend. Celeste’s involvement was unplanned. “She came to [Rick Rubin’s Malibu studio] Shangri-La simply to hang out, but ended up jumping on the mix,” he says. “Her vocalwas recorded in that first session and it remains in the...
