Get A Round In
Get A Round In brings together the best singer-songwriters for a Nashville style writers’ round.
This regular event at The Met features three artists sharing the stage to showcase their songwriting talent and tell the stories behind their music. Expect the very best of Greater Manchester’s acoustic talent.
Our September event features…
Jon Kenzie
Jon Kenzie is a Manchester artist now based in Hamburg Germany. His groovy guitar licks and powerful, soulful vocals never fail to stop people in their tracks. Anyone who appreciates music with soul and a groove will enjoy what he has to offer. His creations are a mix of intimate dynamics and driving emotions that draws the listener further in to his sound.
He has already released three albums independently that show his diversity within the genres of blues, folk and soul music. Whilst he draws influence from older artists such as Muddy Waters, Al Green, and Bob Dylan, he is also inspired by contemporary artists who explore a more vintage sound. Artists such as Alabama Shakes, The Teskey Brothers, Gary Clark Jr and Leon Bridges.
Jon’s new album might be his most homogeneous one so far, as he explores a closer fusion of genres in order to give the album, Silent Applause its own sound and identity.
Charlie Cooper
Charlie Cooper is a Manchester based musician who writes songs combining elements of soul and jazz. The Northern Soul songstress delivers unforgettable performances rich in energy and emotion.
Ben P Williams
The evening will be presented by Manchester based singer-songwriter Ben P Williams, whose songs have seen support from BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Introducing. Moulding the classic song-writing sound of Paul Simon with the laid-back nature of Jack Johnson, Ben draws inspiration from the greats while injecting his own wit and imagination into lyrics and melodies which can’t help but bring a smile to your face.
