LIVE: The Lowells x Ellen Smith

Timeless songs which would stand up on any larger stage. The standard of musicianship and the quality of the performance and songs matches their national music press accolades.

 Obvious comparison (of) blue-collar Springsteen and remarkably like Raul Malo (of the Mavericks) and Roy Orbison, and it doesn’t come much better than that.

The gap between Van Morrison and The Band.

Hailing from Leeds, The Lowells are a 4-piece band who have been a part of the local music scene under different formations for two decades. What sets The Lowells apart is their exceptional songs, their outstanding musicianship and the vocal quality of lead singer and guitarist Chris Harland. Having flirted with commercial success, carried the weight of a ‘next big thing’ label and spent seven years in a sabbatical wilderness, Harland has returned with a quite remarkable set of songs in terms of quality and complexity.

Live, The Lowells perform a wonderful set of complex and meticulously crafted songs, their quality of songs and musicianship commanding a wider and larger audience and yet their rare outings to carefully selected venues producing intimate, priceless and communal performances. Harland, the introspective singer-songwriter armed with evocative songs and lyrics, is a force of nature, his performances both joyous and painful as he blends humour with songs of loss, faith and destiny.
