A unique and abrasive rock outlet, Gallery Circus have quickly gained a strong reputation for delivering breathtakingly powerful live shows . Hailing from South Tyneside, Gallery Circus consists of identical twins Daniel and Graeme Ross.

The band have just finished recording their new EP The Night Country.

Adapting their name from the infamous ‘Gallery Cabaret’ in Logan Square, Chicago, Gallery Circus began in this open mic party spot when the brothers decided to move to the USA and befriend the DIY punk scene, playing shows across makeshift venues in the city. After another year slumming and gigging around America’s west coast, they decided to swim back across the pond and released their début single Supercell. This song was featured as Radio 1’s BBC Introducing track of the week. Dan and Graeme played a great number of key festivals including Glastonbury (where their Sunday performance on the BBC Introducing stage was voted as one of the top 25 performances of the weekend by the BBC), boardmasters, Kendal Calling and YNot.

An experienced and passionate live performer, often compared to the likes of Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Regina Spektor, Jen Stevens is an award-winning singer/songwriter and voice coach based in North East England. 

"Incredibly powerful and moving songs, with heart-wrenching lyrics, and an inimitably beautiful voice."
The calibre of acts that JS&tHs have worked with speaks volume about the quality of music that the band produces and how strong their work ethic is.


“Powerful and creative.” – Chris Difford (Squeeze)


“Extraordinary.” – the Evening Chronicle

“Extremely heartfelt and moving with efficacious lyrics, and each song was creative, poetic and somewhat beautiful. They fused rock and blues together with jazz and pop and touching keyboard notes to create something simply intoxicating. Jen Stevens’ voice was powerful and soulful and pitch perfect right from the off.” - NE Volume
