Artist Biographies:
Lara Rxse
With poetic flair, Lara Rxse takes you in a whirlwind of harmonies, heart-wrenching lyricism and catchy (but intricate) melodies. Her music embodies that of a walk through nature, rising and soaring with sounds of horns and strings. Lara paints ballads bound to tug at your heart strings, and her band have helped her to reimagine and enhance her sound - taking influence from jazz and alt-folk. (For fans of Laura Marling, Matt Maltese & Black Country New Road.)
JohnnytheSeagull (live)
JohnnytheSeagull is a DIY bedroom project by Choco milk enjoyer Giannis Nikodimos. One thing that shocked him when moving to Bristol was the huge amount of seagulls that the city has so he took inspiration from them and started his own lo-fi project, which embraces the DIY ethics and mentality of music with its imperfections and purity.
Born and raised in Athens, Greece, and based in Bristol, UK.
Amalfi Band
Amalfi are a Bristol indie rock band combining post-punk tension, atmospheric guitars and emotionally driven songwriting. Drawing influence from bands like Interpol, Kings of Leon and alternative rock’s darker edges, their music blends melodic hooks with restless energy and cinematic soundscapes.
Their live shows move between intimacy and chaos — loud and melancholic.
Your event ticket would contribute to The Grand Appeal, a local charity that helps sick children around Bristol and the South West. Their aim is to strive to put Bristol Children's Hospital at the centre of change - creating pioneering facilities and ensuring the hospital remains at the forefront of children’s healthcare, saving lives into the next decade and beyond.
