- Emma Stevens, A Different Thread
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Stevens is a regular on the British airwaves with Radio 2 playlisting tracks from both her debut album Enchanted and 2014’s Waves. Championed by the station’s figureheads, Terry Wogan and Chris Evans, Emma headlined the BBC Introducing stage at ‘Festival In A Day’ in Hyde Park and played the main stage at CarFest. Dubbed ‘The Best of 2013’ by iTunes, Emma has also charmed tastemakers and blogs – Louder Than War described her music as “It’s pop, it’s folk, it’s indie, it’s kitsch, it’s wonderful”.
A Different Thread are travelling singer and songwriter Robert Jackson and versatile classical cellist Isaac Collier. Jackson’s distinctively soulful voice, vibrato harmonica and driving acoustic guitar combines with Collier’s enchanting and often improvised playing. Together they create something special, raw and cultured. Their folk, blues and country blend gives a nod to early Bob Dylan, David Gray, Robert Johnson and Joni Mitchell. Songwriters Willy Mason and Evan Dando are also evident, as well as more contemporary influences such as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Felice Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show.
