Fusing together Beatboxing, Live-Looping and Guitar, Fugitive Orchestra makes music best described as: Alternative Jazz-infused, Bluesy Hip-Pop; drawing inspiration from the likes of Andrew Bird, LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, Paul Simon, Kate Bush and the Blue Nile.

Having garnered support and airplay from BBC Introducing as well as several features on Tom Robinson's 'Fresh Faves' for BBC 6-Music, the release of Tomahawk Caress in early 2019 saw the addition of Politically-charged Alt-Funk to an already diverse palette of sounds, incorporating influences from classic funk to Vulfpeck and Childish Gambino. New single, The Price of Doubt sees an exploration of 80s-tinged Guitar-driven Pop as well as universal themes of self-doubt and the importance of self-belief amid a confusing world.

Fugitive Orchestra has supported the likes of Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer, The Petebox, Jerry Williams, The Showhawk Duo, Miles Hunt & Erica Nockalls (The Wonder Stuff), shared a stage with early-naughties heroes Wheatus at the Isle of Wight Festival, and continues to take his exciting live show to ever-growing audiences.

Singer-songwriter Yellowlees was born from Pete Rapp stitching together heart, sleeve and rousing indie-folk spirit. Hailing from the UK’s South Coast by way of Norwich, Yellowlees sits somewhere between the yearning sensitivity of Noah Kahan and early Bon Iver, and the thrilling immediacy of Sam Fender and Hozier.

Now settled in London, Yellowlees has a knack of combining infectious, hooky melodies with honest, conversational wordplay and musical theatre-tinged harmonies. He has established himself as an unmissable live act thanks to magnetic, crowd-pleasing performances known for their passion-fuelled energy – 2022’s anthemic, heartfelt ‘Dispatches’ EP was launched with a triumphant, packed-out London headline show.

Supported by BBC Introducing and tastemakers alexrainbirdMusic, 2024 sees Yellowlees unleashing his best work yet, and promises to see him emerge as a standout amongst the UK’s singer-songwriter scene.
