Absent Kelly Presents Shining Lights: Von Marlon

Full Line Up: Von Marlon, Chelsea Blues, Harry Baker, James C-C, Southchurch, dxrsa

We’re making things a little more soulful at Shoreditch’s Lighthouse this February!

London based Von Marlon will be joining us to top the evening’s bill. This singer-songwriter will be joined by his backing band for the evening to produce a full and rich electronic soundscape, which is both delightfully catchy, and unique all at once. Von Marlon has been cutting his teeth and impressing promoters on the London underground scene, playing much loved grass roots venues including the Good Ship and 229.

Chelsea Blues is a London based artist who, along with her live band, plans to take the world by storm. With a one of a kind sound, mixing elements of soul, jazz, trap, R&B, and many more, Chelsea’s sound is all her own, and we can’t wait to see the show she puts on!

Harry Baker and his band will be there too. Harry’s sound is a hybrid of classic R&B, soul and pop, intertwined with Harry’s signature and sublime guitar solos! He’s been praised by everyone from BBC Introducing, to legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, so Harry’s set is sure to impress!

Surrey based James C-C will also be joining us for the evening. This electronic pop artist counts video games and Mariah Carey amongst his influences. This heady and unusual mix creates James’s unique sound and is turning heads on London’s underground circuit.

Essex quartet Southchurch play a fresh take on electronic garage that has impressed Absent Kelly before! Their exciting sound has earnt them spots on numerous festival line up, awards and a spot on the shortlist for BBC Introducing’s Sound of 2017! This promising young band are going places!

Opening the show is London’s dxrsa. Despite being relatively new to the scene, dxrsa’s smooth alt/R&B is already seeing her pick up great reviews, with a recent feature in Niji Magazine, among others.
