You’re invited to a night out with Queenie as she brings her new album and a seven-piece band to The Sound Doctor. Rolling Stone recently described her live show as “equal parts theatre, thunder and attitude”, so this is definitely one to get excited about!
Queenie may have begun as an alter ego emerging from the ashes of heart break, but with her sophomore album, she is no longer stepping into a persona, she is stepping into herself. Fully realised, fully present and having claimed her throne. Pleasance defies something far more elusive than categorisation and certainly denies expectation. What emerges instead is a body of work that feels less like a statement and more like a state – one of clarity, of stillness, of hard-won emotional coherence.
Queenie’s music has never sat comfortably within the confines of genre. Whilst you can find folk, country and art pop within her sound, it is so much more than that. With echoes of the mythic storytelling of Kate Bush, the textural depth of Bon Iver and the emotional magnitude of Florence Welch, this powerhouse performer creates an evocative world within her songs.
Queenie at The Sound Doctor
