Hot Box Chelmsford, 15 Jun 2025
Join us for a Sunday afternoon of quality folk and Americana
We have headliner duo Songs of the Folk with a very special guest Little Lore.
SONGS OF THE FOLK
Please note this will be the last UK gig by SOTF before they head back to the US.
A.T. and Lauren Cason are lifetime musicians who perform original American folk and blues songs that harken back to the roots music of the American South as well as the 1960s Folk Revival artists of NYC’s Greenwich Village. It’s Simon & Garfunkel mixed with early Dylan, with a touch of Leonard Cohen and a helping of true Piedmont blues fingerstyle guitar from North Carolina.
Coming from a family of storytellers, A.T. writes stories and themes of the human condition into relatable songs of the most poetic, yet down-to-earth lyrics. His unique fingerstyle guitar-playing displays both sophisticated and ragtime techniques, and played on his 1935 Gibson L-00, is a most authentic accompaniment to the songs. A Suzuki-trained pianist since the age of three, Lauren enriches the tunes with beautiful countermelodies and pleasing harmonies while sometimes contributing elegant piano parts to certain songs.
LITTLE LORE
Little Lore is a London based, indie-Americana singer-storyteller whose songs are charmingly accessible and yet beguilingly challenging. You'll want to listen twice.
HARDY PERENNIALS
Local folk favourites Hardy Perennials will open the show.
