Join legendary jazz/folk pioneers Whiskey Moon Face for the launch of our weekly summer event at Dalston Curve Garden.
WHISKEY MOON FACE
The result of a thousand drunken nights, countless dreamy days, and years of musical adventuring, Whiskey Moon Face take you on a voyage into a bohemian underworld which you never knew existed.
Born into a puddle of whiskey beneath a stark winter moon and raised by cold winds, schooled in the warming spirits and hungry for more, Whiskey Moon Face manage a natural, graceful sound built from many ports.
Always innovating and improvising with stark originality, Louisa Jones’ troupe of underground musicians play with a virtuosity you could never expect. Songs which speak of the unspeakable, with understated humour, captivating storytelling and a transcendent spirituality.
"The music of Whiskey Moon Face is charming and difficult to categorise... Jones’ songs are a wonderful jumble of styles." London Jazz News
"The end result of listening to One Blinding Dusky Dusk is akin to having been at one of those wild and joyous youthful parties in somebody else’s parents’ house that you’ll remember for years." - Folk Radio UK
LEONIE EVANS
Leonie Evans has been performing since the age of 5 and has never stopped. With Hundreds of collaborations with musicians from all over the world under her belt she's created a catalogue of albums and a strong musical family.
As well as being a songwriter for many years, Leonie also has a passion for history so plays a lot of pre-war Jazz, blues, country, gospel and Latin music. Expect to hear an array of languages and her well known ability to play 'Frumpet' (her name for vocal trumpet).
"Like nothing else I've ever heard in my life… I was just blown away with her" Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6
"Jazz and Folk flirt en route to New Orleans via Canterbury with Evans' slinky, supple vocal...One slot on Later with Jools holland is all it would take" Prog Magazine
"Leonie Evans' distinctive vocals were magical. An astonishingly good simulated trumpet sound in her understated stride she kept the audience in her thrall." The Bristol Post
