Another new Island signing, all the way from Tennessee, who has recently been in the studio with Mumford and Sons, 22-year-old Lauren Pritchard from Jackson, Tennessee, has a back story - moving to LA aged 16, failing to make it as the singer in a reggae band of all things, lodging with Lisa-Marie Presley, starring in Spring Awakening on Broadway - that would be interesting enough on its own.
But there's more to her than that, in the shape of a debut EP, The Jackson Sessions which showcases a beautiful, soaring voice and a set of songs (co-written with Ed Harcourt and the hitmaker-for-hire Eg White, and featuring Mumford & Sons) that roll and swell with Carole King - and Norah Jones - like country - soul catchiness. Now based in Britain and signed to Island, Pritchard sounds like a sure thing.
Highly Strung takes place in the Guildhall's stunningly intimate oak panelled cinema, will have cabaret seating and a cool contemporary feel.
Saturday 8th May 2010 // Tickets £6 // Doors 19:30pm // Cabaret Seating
