🎵 Featured Artists Include:
🎸 Patrick Hinds
Our beloved Wednesday night host and the master of the acoustic guitar, Patrick Hinds brings a soul-stirring musicality that reflects both technical mastery and emotional depth. With a PhD in music and philosophy from the University of Durham, Patrick channels the influences of guitar legends Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, and John Butler to craft intricate, multi-layered pieces that feel like entire orchestras in a single guitar. Whether he’s finger-tapping harmonic melodies or weaving haunting atmospheric tones, Patrick’s solo performances captivate from the first note to the last.
🌟 Rachel Croft
With a voice described as “emotive and uncompromising,” Rachel Croft is a powerhouse alternative artist whose cinematic songwriting and electrifying stage presence have earned her features on Netflix, BBC2, and global publications like Atwood Magazine and CMT. Whether she's performing at Abbey Road Studios, New York’s Bitter End, or sold-out venues across Europe, Rachel's performances are immersive and unforgettable, filled with soaring vocals and lyrical depth.
🌌 Katja Melina
Berlin-born and London-based, Katja Melina is not just a musician - she’s a sonic storyteller. With a bold fusion of dark alt-pop, cinematic soundscapes, and synth-driven intensity, her music transports you somewhere between a dream sequence and a neon-lit dancefloor. Her voice shifts effortlessly from delicate vulnerability to powerful conviction, while her live sets are as theatrical as they are emotionally raw. This is genre-defying music designed to shake your soul and move your body.
🎤 Karina Balasanian
Originally from Ukraine and now a staple of London’s live scene, Karina brings versatility and soul to every stage. From smoky jazz to funk-infused grooves and emotional pop ballads, her dynamic style is matched only by her magnetic presence. With a voice that effortlessly flows across genres, Karina delivers performances that are authentic, heartfelt, and unforgettable. She also hosts our beloved Singers @ Sunday Spot every Sunday, where her warmth and passion for live music help create a space that welcomes and inspires.
🎤 alexander jackk
A rising star with a sound as diverse as his inspirations, Alex is the definition of an evolving artist. Blending heartfelt lyricism with melodic pop and indie-rock vibes, his music pulls from influences like Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Post Malone, and Oasis, yet remains distinctly his own. Whether pouring his heart into an acoustic ballad or firing up the room with an upbeat groove, his performances are vulnerable, passionate, and refreshingly honest.
🔥 Cookie Lanes (ft. Zak Morris)
This dynamic duo is pure chemistry on stage. Raspy, raw, and rhythmically rich, Cookie Lanes delivers melodic vocals layered over Zak Morris’s textured guitar work—a duo with undeniable chemistry
