Another top blues band set to perform their debut show at Temperance. Free entry. Generous collection at the end much appreciated
You may well have seen them perform at Colne (Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival) this year. They got great reviews. Get to see them perform at Temperance for free with a collection at the end for the musicians. We know you will be generous.
The Violet Hours are known in the blues/Americana scene for their soul-stirring sounds and evocative story-telling.
Fronted by Preston-based singer-songwriter Helen May, alongside the accomplished guitarist Chris Preston, the band crafts fresh takes on blues and country rock while carving out a signature style of their own.
Formed in April 2023, Chris and Helen share a love of expressive melodies and lyric driven storytelling. Helen’s background in journalism shapes the vivid, emotionally resonant lyrics at the heart of their songs, while Chris brings a depth of experience and tone to the sound.
Their latest EP named ‘The 3 Colours of Heartbreak’ , now streaming on all major platforms, features 3 intimate and powerful acoustic tracks - ‘Where were you ’ , ‘Let it burn’ and ‘Sorry ’ - each offering a different take on heartbreak and resilience.
Helen and Chris perform as a duo and also recruit stand out musicians to deliver a full band show. This show will feature a VERY special guest- Dylan Pepper (Andy Taylor Group) on drums.
The Violet Hours bring emotionally charged sets that are eclectic - taking the audience on a journey from sadness and remorse to joy and groove.
They have already made an impression at venues and festivals across the country, including Colne Blues (Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival), and Diseworth Blues who describe them as being ‘one of the hottest acts on the circuit’.
Temperance is an extremely popular, well supported venue, and capacity is limited. It is free entry gig but seats can only be guaranteed if pre-booked via the ticket link.
