Their debut EP, Bird On A Briar, journeys through melodies from centuries-old manuscripts and the aural tradition, reclaiming arrangements from the English Pastoral School and celebrating the musical idiosyncrasies of England, highlighting the exquisite result of a thousand years of migration and cultural collision, all through a thoroughly contemporary lens. The result is refreshingly considered yet pure, documenting the pair’s attention to detail in arrangement, harmony, tone and phrasing with no overdubs, trickery or gimmicks. Their two flat-top acoustic guitars bloom in the natural reverberance of a church hall in South East London, captured by Malkin’s long-time collaborator Tom Moore.

Jezebel Music are delighted to welcome Joana Serrat back to Manchester, as she tours her wonderful new album, Dripping Springs. Special guest to be announced shortly. Joana Serrat For her fourth album in five years, Joana Serrat travelled from her home in Vic, Barcelona to the Texas Hill Country outside Austin. There she teamed up with Israel Nash at his Plum Creek Sound studio near the town of Dripping Springs. For the recording sessions Nash &Serrat corralled a stellar crew of musicians: Joey & Aaron McClellan, (Midlake, BNQT, John Grant, Israel Nash), Eric Swanson & Josh Fleischmann (Israel Nash), Dave Simonett (Trampled By Turtles) and Dennis Love (Futurebirds), as well as Nash himself providing additional guitar and backing vocals. Israel Nash produced the album, with Ted Young (Grammy award winner for The Rolling Stones) on engineering and mixing duties. It was no mean feat to gather all these creative talents and get them working together as a team, but as Israel Nash commented, it was very easy to work with Joana because she knows where she wants to go and she leads us all there. Joana's lyrics are brilliant. She uses images and colours to describe her songs and luckily that's the way we are used to working. Joey McClellan adds, her voice was our guide. The resulting album is unsurprisingly Joana Serrat's most Americana album to date. Mojo described her last album Cross The Verge as Mazzy Star guesting on an early Neil Young demo, but with Dripping Springs she has produced a far more rounded and polished piece of work. Serrat explains, it's an album that deals with farewells but is filled with an optimistic melancholy that doesn't isolate nor enclose the spirit and determination to realise our own dreams. It was a bold move by the young Catalan to cross the Atlantic to work with a bunch of American musicians that she had admired from afar but had never met. What she came away with is, however, nothing short of magnificent and should see Serrat building on her existing achievements which have included a BBC 6Music Recommends Track Of The Week - with Lauren Laverne commenting she's an amazing artist, an astonishing talent and I love her songwriting. Dripping Springs has been chosen one of the Best Albums of The Year at Another Country with Ricky Ross BBC Scotland and the Best Folk /Americana Albumof 2017 on magazine Mondo Sonoro. Within the last year, Joana has toured with The Jayhawks, NekoCas and The Handsome Family, played the main stage at Primavera Sound Festival, Paredes da Coura, Pop Montreal andEurosonic, showcased at SXSW(Austin, TX) andAmericanaFest 2017(Nashville, TN),and has been invited to London in January to showcase at Americana UK Fest 2018.

Who knows why…and perhaps it’s true that Dennis Ellsworth often gets labelled as a songwriter’s songwriter. His path began with absorbing his parents’ records and cassettes and it progressed to teaching himself how to play guitar so he could write his own songs. Right from the start, he would never want to learn other’s songs. His position is that there is no end to growing as a songwriter. It shows up in his themes, his language, and his ability to switch moods and styles of music to suit his current head or heart space, and it will most certainly transform again and again. In 2012, Dennis left his band Haunted Hearts and started making solo records. Following the release of his David Barbe produced, debut solo album called Dusk Dreams, he began touring in Canada. After meeting a few key individuals, he started touring the UK. For about 6 years, he would come to the UK at least twice a year to promote his releases. In 2019, his daughter was born, and he wanted to spend more time at home, so he slowed way down. He kept writing, recording and releasing new music, but the days of crossing the Atlantic were on hold. The Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world and helped him settle into parenthood. His newest album, Hardcore Freewheelin’ (Tonic Records), was produced by Canadian songwriter and producer, Jim Bryson. It is concise and sonically top tier and it showcases Ellsworth’s versatility exceptionally well. With his brand-new album, as well as a deluxe reissue of his 2013 album Hazy Sunshine on the way, he is making his return to the UK in late January 2026. With him, he will have a standout 4-piece band for maximum enjoyment. Tell your friends!!!

Growing up in the fens of Lincolnshire before moving to Yorkshire to study Medieval Literature, Elanor Moss is one of Britain's most exciting emerging songwriters. After a period quietly working on her own music while writing and collaborating with artists including Benjamin Francis Leftwich, The Howl & The Hum, Memorial and Rosie Carney, Moss decided it was at last time to share her indie-tinged and remarkable music with the world. Her music found its way to Blue Raincoat Music (Phoebe Bridgers, Christian Lee Hutson, Arlo Parks) who quickly began working with Moss on her debut EP Citrus. Following the release of Citrus in spring 2022, Moss has found herself championed and playlisted across BBC 6 Music, on tour opening for artists like Christian Lee Hutson, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Cassandra Jenkins and performing on the stages of festivals including Green Man, Deer Shed, How The Light Gets In, Gold Sounds, Pitchfork London & Mutations. Her second EP Cosmic will be released in Feb 2023. Yorkshire songwriter Elanor Moss has a stark subtlety that bowls you over in its intensity. - Clash

Phoebe & Tom tell intricate, honest musical stories with a smile and a wink. They will make you laugh and ponder as their cello and guitar lines thread through tall tales with unlikely wisdom and the reassurance that, although the sun sometimes gets lost, it always finds its way home. With playful melodies, sharp lyricism and an undercurrent of mischief, the duo blend folk-inspired harmonies with jazz-inflected twists in performances filled with humour, heart and a touch of the dreamlike.

THE VAGABAND's soulful, rustic approach to their music makes their extraordinary blend of Americana, toe-tapping folk-jazz and soulful rock a unique proposition in an age where music is often presented in a way that is too studied, too knowing and somewhat safe. Their musicianship means that consummate band-leader José McGill can rely on the band for sturdy backing as well as stellar improvisation for the fantastic home-grown repertoire and the inspired cover versions too. The Vagaband are designed to be lapped up in huge gulps by an audience that likes to have all their musical needs satisfied and their dancing shoes cajoled into action as well. They are nigh-on impossible to dislike. Heroes in their home town, walk with them as they take on the world. "The Vagaband - proof that the devil doesn't always have the best tunes...stunning." - Q Magazine
