Live Music - Samuel Aaron (Chicago, USA) and Antony Hurley
Antony Hurley and Samuel Aaron met at the School of Song under the tutelage of producer Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Ye Vagabonds, Billie Marten) in Winter 2023. Between the US and Mexico, the pair shared song ideas, brainstormed mixes and wrote ideas together for several weeks. Now, for the first time, they'll be bringing their individual and shared music to stages across the UK in summer 2026.
Samuel Aaron's debut album, Rambler, released in May 2025, traverses the landscapes of his making, through boisterous rock songs, theatrical chamber-pop.
"Pretty, sweet, and a little raw" --Anthony Fantano
"He's discovered his own way of capturing the world through his writing. It's as imperfect and immediate and cool as a snap of a camera" --The Great American Folk Show, NPR
Howl For More is the second album by Ramsgate-based songwriter Antony Hurley. Written across a year of travel between southern Italy, Mexico and the Kent coast, the album's core reflects the fragmentary nature of travel.
"A lovely, languid collection of travelling songs" Jude Rogers
"Quietly wonderful" Songlines Magazine
