Cello Sundays #2
We had such a good time at a very busy Cello Sunday #1, we're going to do it again, this time with:
Rosie Alena is a singer-songwriter from London. Taking influence from Joni Mitchell and Angel Olsen to Tori Amos, Sufjan Stevens and Esperanza Spalding, Rosie played her first gig when she was just 14 at the 12 Bar Club in Soho and has been enchanting audiences with her eclectic compositions and goosebump-inducing vocal capabilities ever since.
Blessed with a wealth of highly-skilled musicians as friends including black midi, Olivia Dean and Blossom Caldarone, Rosie’s rotating but consistently excellent backing band have gigged relentlessly when allowed, winning her fans across the capital and beyond.
She’s recently released new single ‘The Light’ - her debut on London label untitled (recs) (currently releasing deathcrash, Famous, Jerskin Fendrix, TAAHLIAH & more) . Written in 2018 during her first year of uni, and after producer Oli Barton-Wood (Porridge Radio, Nilüfer Yanya) spotted her at a show in Peckham before decamping to his studio earlier last year to record.
Power trio head up by experimental cellist Lou who has become a familiar sight on the circuit also playing in the likes of Platonica Erotica, heck and Spang Sisters. Someone whose on a solo mission to bring cello music to the masses and we applaud them for that!
London based alternative instrumental group exploring the trademarks and boundaries of Folk, Jazz, Art Rock, and Neoclassical Minimalism.
