Courtney Marie Andrews

Courtney Marie Andrews is no stranger to introspection. From her humble teenage beginnings in the Arizona fold circuit, to her Grammy-nominated album Old Flowers (2020), to her place today as a preeminent voice and perspective in the American songwriting tradition, the celebrated singer songwriter has always mined the depths of her experience and her sense of self, in order to cultivate a world reaching far beyond her own. Through stories of love, loss and the life lived in between, her work creates a place for others to feel heard and seen, a place for healing and growth of the human heart and spirit.

Now emerging from a distinctly fertile creative period, Andrews is poised for her return to the public eye, wielding a new body of work that includes a wealth of songs, as well as the August 26th release of her second poetry collection, titled Love Is a Dog That Bites When It’s Scared. Will you follow her there?

support Chris Helme

Chris Helme, frontman of John Squire’s post-Stone Roses band The Seahorses and acclaimed solo artist, brings a collection of brand new material to audiences for the first time in a decade, as he tours his new album, World of my Own – a diary of a 10-year period in Chris’ life.

Weaving between moments of soul-searching darkness and bursts of appreciation, gratitude and lightness, the album speaks to the full spectrum of relationships that colour our lives and the distances that sit between ourselves and others.

World of my Own follows his critically acclaimed 2012 record The Rookery. “Echoing the fragility of Gram Parsons, while flirting with the rustic side of Neil Young” (Uncut), his “dreamy but driven indie folk” (Q Magazine), and blistering voice continue to stop audiences in their tracks.

You can expect Chris’s blend of honesty and anecdotes, following a 30-year career in the music industry, alongside his distinctive vocals and a raw, enthralling performance, that his solo shows have become known for.

September 2024 brought the release of a new single ‘Hangin’ Out’ which was recorded during the making of World Of My Own. This is followed by an album of the segues which sew the tracks of the album together, composed by longtime collaborator Jon Hargreaves. The album features an alternate ending to the album which has not been heard before.
