Charlotte Carpenter + Soft Lad + Amii Dawes

SBD presents

CHARLOTTE CARPENTER / SOFT LAD / AMII DAWES

Friday July 28th

This July, three emerging artists from the Midlands are joining together for a triple-headed UK tour. Combining queer, working class, and disabled perspectives, these artists are champions of the under-rated Northamptonshire scene they came up through. Soft Lad (aka Sophie Galpin) is a hugely experienced multi-instrumentalist known for her heartfelt pop songs; Charlotte Carpenter is a celebrated singer-songwriter and guitarist serving ambient alternative sounds; and Kelli Blanchett is a disabled artist gaining prominence for her spacious and melodic anti-love songs. Between them, they’ve worked and toured with Self Esteem, Marika Hackman, Jessie Ware and Soak, and form part of a rich history of independent creatives. With each of these artists set to blow up in the next few years, this tour is a unique opportunity to see them play together.

CHARLOTTE CARPENTER

Following a successful run of early EPs, championed by BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and Virgin Radio, with tastemakers like The Line of Best Fit through to rock bible Classic Rock praising Charlotte’s raw, soulful songwriting and with comparisons to the likes of Cream, Cat Power, Bonnie Raitt and PJ Harvey, Charlotte set out to make her debut album which was funded by Help Musicians UK. These summer shows are an inside, intimate look at what’s to come for her long awaited debut which lands in the autumn.

SOFT LAD

SOFT LAD (aka Sophie Galpin) is no stranger to the music scene, having been either touring or in the studio for most of her adult life. As a musician, she is a multi-instrumentalist for the like of SELF ESTEEM and SOAK. Now she has made her way to the front of the stage with her own heartfelt pop songs, releasing her debut EP ‘Maximum Feels’ in 2022, inspired by the 90s pop of her youth - think Eternal, The Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child, but her songs nod to indie sensibilities such as guitar solos and soaring singalong choruses.
