New Voices Vault

A London showcase of three emerging acts, Rachel Newnham, Carlton and Charlie Baker, staged at The Grace in Highbury. The bill spans indie-pop, indie rock and pop-leaning indie.

New Voices Vault is a newly launched showcase built around three emerging artists: Rachel Newnham, Carlton and Charlie Baker. The Grace, on Highbury Crescent in Highbury East, is a venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music.

Rachel Newnham makes indie-pop built on heartfelt songwriting, with emotionally direct lyrics about love, relationships and vulnerability and melodies designed to stick. Carlton works in indie rock with an atmospheric side, and the debut single Look At Me explores feelings of vulnerability, emotion and self-discovery. Charlie Baker combines pop melody with a slicker indie edge; the single Kiss and Tell shows the playful, flirtatious side of the sound, and the catalogue is growing.

The evening suits listeners who want to hear several emerging songwriters in one night, whether they already follow these artists or are hearing them for the first time.
