With the wind in her sails from receiving three consecutive Americana Music Association UK award nominations (Album, Artist and Song of the year in 2017, 2018 & 2020 respectively), singer/songwriter Danni Nicholls has embarked upon her next artistic journey – her third studio album The Melted Morning with a new producer at the helm. Once again, Nashville, Tennessee, has played host to her musical undertaking, as the city has long held a special place in Danni’s heart.
From the honky-tonks of Broadway to the woods of Whites Creek, Nashville has become something of an adopted hometown for Danni, with the creative community warmly welcoming her presence. “My time in Music City making music with incredible musicians has been a life altering experience” she says. “It has fuelled my inspiration, forced me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to raise my game”
Over the past few years, Danni has played shows with the likes of Shakin’ Stevens (28 date UK wide tour), Lucinda Williams, Sturgill Simpson, The Secret Sisters and other notables and has been invited to perform at festivals around the world, including Cambridge Folk, Tønder, Denmark, Folk Alliance International and AmericanaFest, Nashville.
Now after two postponements Danni is excited to tour her new album as well as perform favourites from her extensive catalogue.
Abi Farrell has been described by London’s Soul Stripped Sessions as “a powerhouse and then some”, and after a simply stunning set at The Camden Chapel we had to invite her and superb accompanist Cy Atkinson to headline The Green Note.
Recently played by the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC 6 Music, Abi was raised on a soundtrack of female-driven pop, funk and soul.
Influences from the likes of Aretha Franklin, Carole King, Eva Cassidy and Chaka Khan may all be present in her music but each song is brought into the here and now by her effortlessly pure voice and lyrical dexterity.
Jenny Colquitt encompasses a unique combination of Americana, indie, folk rock and pop.
Winner of the GSMC Award for best female solo singer/songwriter 2021, Jenny’s music is described as fit for film and storytelling at its finest. A voice that uniquely combines the melodic undertones of artists such as Eva Cassidy and the rawness of Alanis Morissette. She writes with soul, lyrical vulnerability and style to accompany her musicality both through keys and guitar.
