Ace songwriter Theo Bard plays a very special preview of new songs which will feature on his upcoming album, alongside his full band!
A Londoner through and through, artist and live music obsessive Theo Bard has become more devoted than ever to the noble art of songwriting. Through trancelike acoustic guitar patterns, a vocal that's at once raw and full-bodied, and lyrics that balance the personal with poetry, there is something relatable about his songwriting which grabs listeners wherever he goes. His music has featured across BBC Radio, on Italian TV, and he has written with major label artists.
Becoming a father in 2024 brought a new wave of passion to Theo's yen, and a return to the very root of his music - the appreciation of connection and beauty, spoken through live instruments alone. He is now ready to share a set of songs sung 'at the bottom of his voice', lullabies to a sleeping newborn that go to the root of human origin.
His band tonight features:
Kaidi Akinnibi - Saxophone
Matt Webb - Bass
Tom Potter - Drums
"Multi-talented " - The Line of Best Fit
"A distinct and personal expression by way of glistening, crystalline compositions." - London in Stereo
"A hauntingly beautiful melody, every second of which is full of purpose and intent." - Earmilk
Jamboree food option: Our ?Zer? kitchen is open from 5pm serving delicious Middle Eastern fusion food for you to enjoy a pre-gig meal/snack if you wish!
Theo Bard
A leading figure in the East London music scene, Theo is a skilled lyricist and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, violin, bass), with intelligent lyrics and a deft ear for melody. His songs celebrate love, friendships and good times, the thrills and spills of busking in London’s markets, and his legendary Woodburner music nights in Hackney. Always delivered in the direct and frank narrative style that marks him out as an exceptional songwriter, his songs are borne of a lifetime steeped in music and song. He played violin from the age of four, spent his childhood singing round campfires at Forest School Camps, and honed his craft busking in London’s busy markets.
