Melting Vinyl: Bringing the cream of live music to Brighton.

Berlin-born, UK-based up-and-coming singer-songwriter Roxanne De Bastion, comes to Brighton to play an intimate and spellbinding show with her new EP ‘Seeing You’ out now on Brighton label – Hidden Trail Records.

Since the release of her 2013 debut album ‘The Real Thing’ (produced by Gordon Raphael – The Strokes / Regina Spektor), Roxanne has been championed by the likes of Tom Robinson (BBC6 music), John Kennedy (XFM), and Ruth Barnes (Amazing Radio).

Musically, Roxanne’s compositions are routed in the music of the 1960’s, but the tone of voice is very much her own and the stories told are expressed in a way that could only be now. With her new EP ‘Seeing You’ (Hidden Trail Records), she continues to forge a unique approach to the singer songwriter genre. Her lyrics range from introspective journeys in Seeing You and Same Moon, through to observations on instant gratification and repetition (Rerun) and the tearing down of the East Side Gallery in Berlin, Roxanne’s town of birth (Wasteland).

“Standout number…astonishingly assured” (Clive Davis, The Sunday Times)

“If you ever get a chance to go see her live – definitely do!” (BBC Introducing)

Support from Jack Harris
Jack Harris was a South by South-West showcasing artist at 17. He was also the youngest, as well as the only non-American person ever to win the New Folk song writing award at the Kerrville Folk Festival, Texas. Previous winners included Gillian Welch, Steve Earle and Devon Sproule. His live show is a riveting mix of song craft and theatrical story-telling, delivered with warm voice, dry humour and nimble, string-picking fingers.
“Jack is a Priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous, ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists” – Anais Mitchell
