Mellowtone Downstairs At The Everyman Returns 8 September
Mellowtone are back at the Everyman on Thursday 8 September, with Dan Wilson & The Counterfactuals, Granfalloon, Dorcas Seb and the Beaten Tracks DJs.
Dan Wilson & The Counterfactuals
Dan Wilson is a singer/songwriter and musician with The Cubical/Los Separatistas and a solo artist with Dan Wilson & The Counterfactuals. He is known for his unique lyrical and vocal style and is also a writer of poetry and short stories. This is music that creaked of old wooden bars and dark corners. Music aged in barrels and smelling of a days work well done. Blues soaked Folk and Rock with Jazz undertones to whet the appetite.
“Wilson makes Waits sound like Tiny Tim” The Guardian
“A British Johnny Cash” Dave Sardy (producer, Oasis, Primal Scream)
“Genius” Mojo
Granfalloon
Currently working on his fourth album; a double, potentially triple album… Granfalloon continues the work of his third album, Positive Songs, to focus more on traditional songwriting, and not quite traditional storytelling, to chisel out small, beautiful moments. It showcases this non-traditional storytelling with subject matter like… the meta-narrative approach to the dangers to you and the relationships around you that writing can have, expressing love through mathematical formulae, and 8 year old girls catching bees in Tupperware boxes, all with a heavy dose of Richard Lomax’s absurdism.
“My kind of artist” Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
“Utterly enchanting” Crack Magazine
“Music that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Wes Anderson film” Drunken Werewolf
“Like a mix of Beck and the Polyphonic Spree, trying everything they can find in a music shop” Wall of Sound
Dorcas Seb
Dorcas Seb is a Christian Congolese multi-disciplinary artist based in Liverpool who specialises in producing, performing and writing. She has worked with Sky Arts, BBC, Manchester Literature Festival, Culture Liverpool, Netball World Cup, 20 Stories High, Contact Theatre, Eclipse Theatre, and recentlly performed for Nelson Mandela’s family on their visit to Liverpool.
Beaten Tracks DJs
A Liverpool-based collective of DJs, promoters and afficionados who champion the rare, the dusty and the forgotten… expect funk, soul, reggae, afrobeat, latin, hiphop, blues and jazz; leftfield beats and soulful enlightenment.
