Joan Shelley’s new album Over And Even was written in the back of an abandoned beauty parlour on the island of Thessaloniki, a collection of smart, beautiful songs full of poetry, history, mystery and nature. She lands on a note like a laser beam on a diamond. Her voice has won her favourable comparisons to artists like Sandy Denny. It’s more than the vocal range; it’s a quiet power that draws you in. Over and Even was named Album of the Year in 2015 at NPR Music and in the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone gave it 4 stars, calling it ‘a masterfully turned set of folk reflections.’

There will be support from Bristol singer Leonie Evans, whose intriguing music has been championed by BBC 6Music’s Cerys Matthews.
