Yorkshire girl, Lauren Housley, has a sound best described as a soulful blend of Blues and Americana, drawing huge influence from artists such as Otis Redding and Etta James, as well as the Blues and Country styles heard from Bonnie Raitt and Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Whether performing at the KC Stadium to an audience of 15,000 or entertaining an intimate crowd of 50 at Manchester’s famed live music venue, The Castle Hotel, a Lauren Housley performance is guaranteed to ‘bring the house down’. Lauren and her band also play regular sell-out, headline shows at Matt and Phreds (Manchester), one of the country’s most well respected music venues.

“This woman's got a VOICE!” Craig Charles: BBC 6 Music

"Seeing her live allows you to really appreciate the fullness and texture of her sound, while also being hypnotised by her commanding stage presence." SoulCulture.co.uk

Previous headlining performances include Newcastle's 'Hoochie Coochie', 'Matt and Phreds' of Manchester, The Arch Angel in Kensington, Troubadour in London and Birmingham's 'The Yard Bird'. Lauren and her band have also made appearances at festivals such as Soundwave (Croatia), Meadows in the Mountains (Bulgaria) and headlined the Riot Jazz stage at Kendal Calling in Cumbria.

After returning from her French tour early in 2014, where she was invited to perform on National TV, Lauren then made appearances at UK summer festivals this year, including Kendal Calling and Tramlines. A recent performance at Threshold Festival, Liverpool, received a glowing review from Click Liverpool, who described Lauren as ‘SIMPLY BREATHTAKING’ and ‘worthy of greater recognition and musical press acclaim from every corner’.

Band members include Thomas Dibb on guitar, Alan Keary on Bass and Craig Hanson on drums, who are all respected musicians and writers in their own right, and never fail to bring a musical showcase of immense caliber. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this band live!
