Sisika + Genevieve

SISIKA

Fresh from playing at this year's Glastonbury Festival, London four piece Sisika are led by the Duncan sisters. Developing out of the sisters love of singing together, the band draws on a range of influences to create their sound; from old folk harmonies, to triphop beats and rootsy jazz. Their rich voices weave close, lyrical, earthy harmonies, supported by warm, melodic guitar and piano lines, with the band's sparse arrangements fusing together to make for a beautifully soulful roots sound.

GENEVIEVE

Genevieve is a singer songwriter originally from Edinburgh, now based in South-East London and currently studying at the prestigious  Goldsmith's College of Music. Bringing together a frank lyrical style with a warmth and soulfulness that inhabits the same alt-folk terrain as Laura Marling and Ani DiFranco, her songs are minimally and sensitively embellished by her excellent three piece band.
