Brian Grogan (Album Launch) + Roswell Road

An album launch for Brian Grogan, an Irish-born songwriter, with Roswell Road, an Americana duo based in London, as special guests. The night presents the debut album I'll Go Now.

Brian Grogan is an Irish-born songwriter whose sound combines Irish folk storytelling with atmospheric indie textures. He names Damien Rice, Frightened Rabbit and Justin Vernon among his influences, and builds his songs around emotive vocals and organic arrangements. His recent singles Space, What's Left Of and Over To You received airplay from Radio X, BBC London and Folk Radio UK.

The debut album I'll Go Now contains ten alternative and indie tracks written after a period of grief that followed the end of a relationship. Its songs deal with heartbreak, loss and resilience. Grogan recorded it with London-based producers G Lo (Ella Clayton) and Fiachra Mac Oiréachtai, with sessions held in Oxford and London.

Roswell Road, the London-based Americana duo of Jasmine Watkiss and Zoë Wren, formed after meeting by chance in a Cambridgeshire market square. Their close harmonies and candid storytelling have been compared to First Aid Kit and Fleetwood Mac. The evening is held at Paper Dress Vintage, a Mare Street venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
