with Sam Tucker? and Sally Hossack and the Dream Band<\/h2>\n

Reviewed by Christa Lord<\/p>\n

I arrived at the venue early enough to catch the buzz and excitement of the many fans anxiously awaiting the live acts\u2019 commencement \u2013 a vast array of friendly and inviting music lovers from near and far gathering to share in Andrea Kenny\u2019s first solo EP launch – the lights dimmed, the bar open, and the scenery awash with smiles of anticipated glee.<\/p>\n

First to the stage was singer-songwriter, Sam Tucker?<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 described as a \u2018cheeky northern monkey\u2019, and boy is he! The name speaks for itself – Sam Tucker? – Sam takes us on a journey of existential awareness mixed with a splash of confusion via clever wit and comedic prose, making up a cheeky blend of acoustic songs depicting less-than-ideal true-to-life experiences. What fun indeed!<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s comedic songbird-woes from drinking, break-ups and parking tickets garnered many a laugh amongst the crowd, myself included. A great ice breaker to start the evening.<\/p>\n

Next up we had Sally Hossack<\/strong><\/a> and the Dream Band (three-piece band includes Sally Hossack, Howard Smith and Anita Lindley). With a sound reminiscent of the illustrious Tori Amos, Sally Hossack and the Dream Band\u2019s intimate and delicate sound captures your attention instantly, taking you on a journey of love, loss and everything in between. Amid captivating harmonies and musicianship, Sally Hossack and the Dream Band have mastered the art of taking your hand in invitation along the path of Illumination 2020.<\/p>\n

Alas, I was sad to see their act come to an end. That being said, the end culminated in a flood of excitement for the evening\u2019s much-anticipated star act \u2013 Andrea Kenny\u2026<\/p>\n

For many, Andrea Kenny<\/strong><\/a> is best known for her former front-leading role in Leicester\u2019s popular band, The Brandy Thieves<\/a>, but let me tell you, you ain\u2019t seen nothing yet!<\/p>\n

Like a fine-oiled machine, the camaraderie and fluidity between Andrea and band (comprised of Helen Collins on keys and backing vocals, Natasha Patterson on violin, Robin Grace on bass, and Jamie Robinson on drums) was smack-you-in-the-face present. The charismatic engagement with the crowd made for a fun-loving energy and feel right out of the gates.<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s excitement and thrill of officially celebrating the long-awaited launch of Andrea Kenny\u2019s Passage of Time<\/em> EP<\/a> was palpable \u2013 a fitting album title which captures a blend of songs depicting love, loss, grief, connection, friendship, addiction, and mental health, written over a fifteen-year period. Andrea\u2019s soul-shaking powerhouse vocals of the beautifully written and well performed songs (accompanied by keys, violin, bass and drums) suck you right in from the outset and leave you wanting more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s evident that music runs through her very bones, making Andrea an immense talent to be reckoned with. It definitely didn\u2019t disappoint, with many of the audience members on their feet, warmly expressing their appreciation. There is no doubt that we witnessed merely the start of a very long and fruitful solo music career for Andrea Kenny, and I look forward to cheering alongside her exciting journey ahead.<\/p>\n
