Gig Guide: Tue 9th Feb

 

Tue 9th Feb 19:30 SPARTACUS UNPLUGGED :: LUCY RAY :: ROB MAC :: CAJITA :: JOE BUTCHER

Lucy Ray
A rare live solo show from internationally acclaimed singer songwriter Lucy Ray. Expect moving narratives both tragic and comic accompanied by world class finger-style guitar playing. ‘There are some moments of pure beauty in life that have to be grabbed with both hands before they slip away. Lucy Ray’s songs have such beauty’ - Melody Maker

Rob Mac
Rob Mac is working as a solo artist on his debut Acoustic EP that will be released in Spring 2010. Rob’s solo material is a unique fusion of R&B, Soul and Acoustic. Influences stem from John Mayer’s lyrical virtuosity, to the soul-fuelled vocals of Lauryn Hill. The neo-soul movement heavily influences Rob, with artists such as Musiq Soulchild and Dwele. However, he combines the acoustic intimacy of artists such as Robin Thicke with the raw emotion of your classic soul tracks.

Despite these influences, Rob Owen Mac is a truly unique experience. Whether heard live or through your speakers, you will be instantly taken on a musical journey, back to the Atlantic Soul of the sixties and seventies, then right up to a new birth of music alongside the likes of D’Angelo and Anthony Hamilton. 

Cajita
Jay Chakravorty, originally from Wales, now living in Bristol. The live Cajita show is a mix of live looping, beats and electronica, trumpets, vocal harmonies, guitar and piano. He has shared the stage with people like Art Brut, 8mm and Merz, as well as playing on the same bill as Plaid, Ulrich Schnauss and Bjork.

Joe Butcher
Opening the night will be 18-year-old Singer Songwriter Joe Butcher from Weymouth, Dorset. Currently studying Commercial Music at Bath Spa University.
