Gus Harrower is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most innovative young musicians. Since the release of his debut EP in 2015, he has become a regular feature of the Edinburgh music scene and has made a name for himself, performing in a range of venues across the country; from Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh, to Glasgows 02, and most notably, a packed out Wembley Arena. He kick-started 2018 with his sophomore EP, Where We Were, venturing into a darker, more politicised approach to songwriting.

The success of his latest EP has landed him a nomination alongside breakthrough artists Lewis Capaldi and Callum Beattie in the Scottish Alternative Music Awards. While his experience touring with Hit The Road was one of many catalysts for his mature development between his two EP’s.

Having recently drawn comparisons to Bon Iver and Jack Garrett, his ability to write and perform infectious anthems has been recognised on BBC Radio Scotland as Janice Forsyth’s song of the week.

His strength as an artist lies, not just in his technical skill but in his versatility. From melancholic melodies to upbeat rap collaborations his skill for taking listeners on a voyage through his personal experience is formidable. As a pianist, his marriage of jazzy pop and classical training produces a captivating unpredictability tied, invariably, to a gripping and cathartic resolution.
Continuing to hone old tracks and create new ones, Gus Harrower will soon produce one of the most fluid and mesmerising debut albums of the year.

Joe Innes & The Cavalcade are a post-Brexit indie-folk band from London led by singer/songwriter Joe Innes, whose masterfully offbeat and often irreverent songwriting has gained praise from national radio as well as online, being described as things like “a master of words” by This is Fake DIY and “just brilliant” by Tom Robinson on BBC6.

Joe Innes and the Cavalcade is a labour of love for the lead troubadour. Joe plays solo, but also formed the Cavalcade to be revolving door of musicians to perform with, and has recruited numerous talented musicians over time, including Zach Comtois, Britney Spears’s guitarist who Joe met while touring in Germany.

Their early releases were financed by Joe selling his comic book collection, and subsequent EP “Brian, I’m a Genius Too” was lauded by The Line of Best Fit amongst others for its masterful and confident melody. Then, following a European tour and numerous festivals spots, Joe and the band began work on their upcoming debut album – after a hugely successful crowd funding campaign raised a lot more money than selling comics did.

The new album is a stunningly poignant and relevant piece of work in these uncertain times. It is a document of Joe’s life as it currently is, on both a macro and micro scale. It’s about the artist’s relationships, his mental health and his experience, all framed by the political events of the past year – “it’s how I feel about where I am as a person, as a husband, and as a citizen of the UK in 2017”.

The new album ‘Foreign Domestic Policy’ comes out on the 26th May 2017. There will be a party.
