Ned Roberts first came to play Cafe#9 with label mates, The Goat Roper Rodeo Band. He's visited the cafe many times since and we'll be really looking forward to having him back in October.... and hopefully hearing a plethora of new lockdown tunes!! He's joined by talented London based tour mate LOUIS BRENNAN!!
Ned first started gigging when living up in York, playing old folk covers and the odd Dylan tune. Not long after writing his first songs, he was discovered by producer Luther Russell (Sarabeth Tucek, Richmond Fontaine, Noah & The Whale) and brought to Los Angeles to record. The pair have since developed a close creative partnership. Dream Sweetheart, Ned's third album, was released on 7/2/20.
**************************************************
London based Dubliner Louis Brennan is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren?t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, half-drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan?s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate, at times spuriously broad, peppered with pitch-black humour.
Brennan has performed in many guises on many stages and is known for a live show that takes the listener on a journey, turning the mirror from himself onto the audience, commanding dynamics as if conducting an orchestra not standing alone with an acoustic guitar.
"A master storyteller with a voice like rolling thunder" GQ
"He's someone capable of turning the bleak into beautiful and relateable" GIGWISE
"Louis Brennan should perhaps come with a warning sticker: ?Parental advisory: explicit existential despair.?" FOR FOLK'S SAKE
"His wry tales manage to make that which is moribund sound full of life" R2
"His ability to twist and turn a simple phrase can render the most innocent line into something utterly heartbreaking." CLASH
"Painful, searing lyrics, darkness so bleak you feel you?ll never find a way out, but then laugh out loud moments that are life-affirming in their intensity" AMERICANA UK
