Welcome back Whitney K, welcome back The Croft!!! An evening of alt-Americana, pensive folksong and micro-miniature epics.
Our fav rambling Yukonian returns after a gorgeous show for us in '22, to our fav backroom of all time!
"Sounding like a freewheeling Townes Van Zandt fronting the Velvet Underground; his ‘Trans-Canada Oil Boom Blues’ careens from uplifting to sombre, upbeat to sad - a bundle of drunken nu-Dylan contradictions." - Headfirst
FFO: Lou Reed, Harry Nillsson, Fred Neil, Cass McCombs, Smog, Silver Jews, Beck

Hailing from Bristol, Eva May spent her childhood singing in choirs which has left a mark on her musical style with lush ethereal vocal arrangements. Her debut single, Where Does The Time Go, was released in June 2024 on Full Time Hobby. She has recently collaborated with local hero Memotone for his latest LP 'smallest things'.
She supported WK the first time he was in town and it was such a perfect pairing, we can't help but do it all again! Full band show, joined by Caio Wheelhouse and Louie Lewlands.
FFO: Carole, Karen, Judee, Joni, Sandy, Linda

"Will Yates has made music as Memotone since 2007. He operates in the tradition of what Robert Fripp has called 'a small, independent, mobile, and intelligent unit.' If you book him, he will come. When he arrives, he will have everything he needs to make his complex, engaging music: a clarinet, a guitar, synths, samplers and pedals, quickly unpacked in the corner of a club, gallery or village hall.
It is possible to hear a variety of influences in his music: folk and jazz forms, the textural inventiveness of British DIY electronica and Chicago post-rock and the blurred sci-fi brass of Jon Hassell are all discernible.
For his latest album 'the smallest things on World of Echo, he invited Eva for the beautiful album closer, 'In Dreams', hovering in the same space as Janet Sherbourne's work with Jan Steele or Julie Tippetts' Sunset Glow."
FFO: Basil Kirchin, Tenniscoats, Movietone, Burt Bacharach
