Skinny Living Live At The Garrison

Skinny Living have carved out a reputation as one of the UK's most soulful and uncompromising indie

bands. Their music... a raw blend of acoustic soul, alt-indie and modern grit has earned them millions

of streams and a loyal grassroots following built through word-of-mouth and unforgettable live

shows. Known for harmonies that soar and lyrics that speak to resilience, love, and hope, Skinny

Living make music that feels unpolished and deeply human, with songs that linger long after the last

note fades.

Formed after a chance meeting at an open mic in Wakefield, the band unites the haunted yet

hopeful voice of Belfast-born frontman Ryan Johnston with the intricate guitar work and harmonies

of Danny Hepworth. Their name reflects their roots: "Skinny Living is a term that describes the

financial reality and lifestyle of the working class. Hard graft on a low income with a lust for life,

passion for family and an optimistic attitude about the future.

"

After the success of their album 'Day By Day' that claimed the UK No. 1 Independent Album chart

position in 2024, Skinny Living return with their latest release, EP 9, the culmination of a plan set in

motion almost a decade ago. Inspired by Nikola Tesla's 3-6-9 theory, the trilogy was envisioned as a

creative cycle that would bring Skinny Living's first era to a close. These four songs are their most

fearless yet intimate, anthemic and sonically daring, capturing the honesty and harmony that have

defined the band while pointing toward evolution.

With EP 9, Skinny Living stand at once in closure and renewal... a chapter ending with purpose, and a horizon wide open with possibility
