Grateful Fred Presents: "Lowri Evans" In Concert
Lowri Evans.
Pembrokeshire born and bred, Lowri was immersed in the local and National Eisteddfod from a young age, before going on to achieve a BMus Honours degree in Jazz, Popular and Commercial Music at Newcastle University. That deep rootedness in both the Welsh musical tradition and broader musical learning shines through in everything she does her voice possesses a rare and wide emotional power, drawing on a rich palette of Americana, Folk, Country and Blues, all beautifully knitted together through her innate musicality and heartfelt delivery.
Described by the legendary Bob Harris as one of his absolute favourite artists, Lowri has released eight albums over the course of her career, toured the USA, performed live sessions for BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru, and been commissioned to compose songs for specific BBC radio programmes.
Her acclaimed 2013 album Corner of My Eye featuring BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners Andy Cutting and Martin Simpson earned a five-star review from R2 magazine, who called it simply "a dream," while her songs have drawn equally warm praise from No Depression, Maverick and NewSoundWales.
A regular at Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections and Hay Festival, Lowri has also performed showcase sets at Folk Alliance International and worked extensively with TRAC, Wales's Folk Development organisation.
Whether performing solo or with her band, she has that rare ability to immediately bond with an audience, transporting them to the emotional heartland of every song she sings.
" Evans is like one of those rare gold nuggets, not often found, nestling within the Welsh valleys " Isthismusic.com.
As always there will be a full supporting programme.
