Olivia Joseph - The Ms. Joseph Album

A headline show by Olivia Joseph, whose sound sits within the UK alternative jazz and rap scene, ahead of the debut album 'Ms Joseph'. The night is set at Copper Bar, in Band on the Wall's Northern Quarter venue in Manchester.

Olivia Joseph blends soft rock and hip-hop in a way that draws on both British and American sounds, looking at older and newer styles alike. The project takes clear inspiration from Amy Winehouse's 'Frank'and from D'Angelo's 'Brown Sugar'and 'Voodoo'. This headline show marks the run-up to the debut album 'Ms Joseph', which is the focus of the evening.

Joseph's musical identity took shape with the debut EP 'Who's Bangin'at the Door?'. Since then, the sound has grown into something distinct within the UK alternative jazz and rap scene. Recordings and performances feature eclectic instrumental playing from Joseph's band, alongside lyrics built around distinctive storytelling.

The concert takes place at Copper Bar, the concert and performance venue at Band on the Wall, 25 Swan Street, in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The programme centres on Olivia Joseph's own material and the sound of the forthcoming album.
