Liverpool Acoustic presents Esme Bridie, Henry Bateman and Ric Neale in concert at Studio2 Parr Street on Friday 7th June 2019.
Presented as a songwriters’ circle, this special show will feature all three talented musicians sharing the stage performing solo songs alongside exciting duo and trio collaborations.
Esme Bridie grew up in Merseyside and began writing songs as a teenager. Influenced by classic singer- songwriters like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell, she has now crafted her unique sound combining elements of folk, pop, blues, jazz and indie. Esme recently released her first album, ‘Today it Rains’ through independent record label, Klee Music . Her album has gained glowing reviews from the likes of GIGsoup, Impact magazine, Liverpool Noise and Liverpool Acoustic.
Henry Bateman was recently described by Spill Magazine as ‘perhaps the greatest undiscovered talent today’. His music falls somewhere between the worlds of ambient, progressive rock and folk musics; somewhere between Peter Gabriel, Neil Finn and James Taylor, with a virtuoso acoustic guitar style reminiscent of the likes of Nick Drake and Michael Hedges. He’s doing his own thing; at the age of just 22, he’s just released his third solo album ‘Hide & Seek’ to high critical acclaim.
Ric Neale is a musician and songwriter. His new record “All That Counts” sees him return to his roots as a solo piano player and vocalists as he brings five brand new original songs to life in a live setting. This will add to his cannon of three solo releases so far. He has just finished working as Songwriter, Musical Director and performer in the sell out show “Dancing Bear” with Jamie Fletcher and Company that toured The West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds and The Contact Theatre in Manchester. Ric has performed in with of a range of artists including Jason Donovan, David Mead and Chris Helme, and has lectured on the craft of songwriting for over ten years.
This is Liverpool Acoustic’s first show at Studio 2 and we’re delighted to welcome these three talented singer-songwriters to mark the occasion. We’d love you to join us!
Tickets are only £6 in advance from ticketquarter and £8 on the door.
Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8.00pm start.
