I’m delighted to welcome back Lauren Housley, and the Chorlton Country Club, back to Billericay for an evening of Country Club favourites and Lauren Housley originals. Those of you who saw Lauren and her fabulous band last year will know they have an outstanding live set – this was one of my favourite gigs of 2016 and I can guarantee that we're in for a very special night on Friday 13 October 2017.
Lauren is a native of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, but is now based in Manchester. She draws her influence from a wide range of music genres, with her emotive vocals steeped in Gospel, Blues and a unique blend of ‘Nashville’ flavoured soul with a hint of Americana and Roots, Pop and Rock and some killer covers thrown in for good measure. It’s a very potent and thrilling mix. If this video of a classic cover doesn’t grab you – nothing will!
"Lauren Housley’s brand of Americana blurs the lines between rock and soul through to country and blues. Her music is genre defying, and will appeal to all." National Blues Review
Lauren has recently released her second album 'The Beauty Of This Life' to critical acclaim.
Lauren’s debut album ‘Sweet Surrender’ was one of my standout albums of 2015, filled with some brilliant original songs, written alongside long time creative partner Thomas Dibb, that are honest, sincere and personal. ‘Show Me What Love Is’, a beautifully tender ballad with a slow-burning intensity, was one of my favourites on the album. ‘Sweet Surrender’ is a no filler, affair with a number of tracks play listed on Radio 2 by the likes of Chris Evans, Jeremy Vine and Bob Harris.
SUPPORT will be from Billericay band The 45’s (Annabel, Ben, Bradley and Gary) are an up and coming local band who play a mixture of classic funk/soul and pop. The 45's have been well received when they have played in the past and are sure to get our evening off to a cracking start.
