Join us for another Green Room Live performance as we bring you the best talent from across the local region.
Chris Fox
Award winning 21st Century contemporary singer-songwriter Chris Fox is an independent musician spanning the roots lexicon of Folk, Americana, Country and Blues. A genre defying troubadour, audiences are enthralled by his rich vocals, complex guitar playing, and loop pedal alchemy finding Chris to be humorous & thought provoking in equal measures. His naturally laid back, unostentatious style creates the perfect ambience for an intimate and inclusive live experience drawing listeners in with tales of the everyday and the unexpected.
Chris released his first album ‘From the Shadows’ in 2019. Then in September ’22 Chris released his second album ‘In Plain Sight’ to critical acclaim. His music over the years has been aired widely both internationally and on radio stations across the UK including BBC Radio and has seen press support from titles such as Folk Radio UK, RnR magazine, Irish Music Magazine and AmericanaUK, while gaining a nomination for Best Male Artist of the Year from FATEA, 2023.
Born and raised in Cambridgeshire, Chris Fox cut his teeth playing for pints in local drinking establishments along the river Great Ouse in 2014. Fast forward to an award-winning singer songwriter, Chris has performed at Folk Festivals, Clubs and Theatres in the UK and Europe as Headliner, in Double Bills and support for major acts on the UK Folk Scene.
Lucy Kitchen
Lucy Kitchen is everything that the usual modern approach is not. Her songs are deft and delicate, built on clean-limbed and gentle lines and embellished with only the absolutely essential sonic details. Beats are minimal, textures subtly woven and the music feels nothing more than gossamer and smoke-like layers skilfully interlaced to maintain a musical weightlessness.
With two previous albums released on her label “Bohemia Rose Records”, and recent releases on RE:WARM Records on the Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Vol. 2 album with her song “Olivia” and the newly released “Milk & Honey” on Sounds of Southampton Vol. 3 she released “The Stabal Sessions” EP in December - her first longer release since her album “Sun to My Moon” was released in 2017.
Featuring 4 tracks, 1 from her previous album “Sun to My Moon” and 3 new songs, each song on the EP reflects the emotional depth and introspective lyricism that Lucy Kitchen has become known for. From the opening track “Blue Light” which has elements of Americana with slide guitar and haunting vocal harmonies to the heartbreaking “Chemo Song - Sleeping Song”. A sonic tapestry of melancholic melodies, captivating vocals and personal storytelling, this recording marks her first musical project since the loss of her husband to cancer last year. Recorded live at Stabal Music in May ’23 the EP serves as an exploration of Lucy’s journey through loss, capturing the vulnerability of her live performances.
In the search for touchstones she is often compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Beth Orton and, vocally, to Sandy Denny.
Lucy Kitchen's unique blend of hypnotic folk music, combined with her evocative voice and thoughtful songwriting, continues to captivate audiences both in the UK and internationally. She has garnered radio features including BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio USA and Radio X.Her diverse collaborations and performances at renowned festivals like Glastonbury highlight her as a versatile and dynamic artist.
Lucy has been in demand for collaborations over the past few years. Working with a number of electronic music acts to write and record she has featured multiple times on BBC Radio 1 and in Mixmag magazine (“Majestic muse”).
