Midwife

Midwife, a pop, rock and indie project from southern Colorado, performs at The White Hotel in Manchester, with Devin Shaffer also on the bill.

Midwife began in 2014, when its founder was living at Rhinoceropolis, a DIY space. After more than a decade in Denver, the project is now based in southern Colorado and works across pop, rock and indie. It describes its music as "Heaven Metal", a term for emotional music centred on devastation and catharsis.

On stage, Midwife plays sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop. On record, the project builds intricate, lush sonic environments within the heavy music scene. Its songs deal chiefly with grief and the different forms it can take.

Devin Shaffer is also on the bill. The White Hotel in Manchester hosts concerts and shows, and this date brings Midwife to its stage.
