Charlotte Carpenter announces a full band headline tour for this Autumn, her first full band shows since 2018 in celebration of her debut album ?A Modern Rage? which lands on October 6th 2023.

A Modern Rage is a reminder to myself and to the women in my life, that every feeling of discomfort, uncertainty, confusion, and frustration is real. Our anger is justified, and our stories are worth sharing.? ? Charlotte Carpenter

Between 2014-2019 East Midland?s singer-songwriter Charlotte Carpenter made her name by releasing a series of heavily championed EPs. Her raw, soulful song writing was widely heralded with comparisons to the likes of Cream, Cat Power, Bonnie Raitt, and PJ Harvey, and coverage garnered from tastemakers from The Line of Best Fit through to rock bible Classic Rock, with support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and Virgin Radio, and UK-wide tours alongside (among others) Marika Hackman, George Ezra, Liz Lawrence, Eliza Shaddad, Ralph Pelleymounter (To Kill A King), Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, and Matthew Logan Vasquez (Delta Spirit).

A Modern Rage is a record that unpacks how life?s profound experiences are navigated ? in Charlotte?s case, loss, love, addiction, mental health, and more recently a pandemic - within the often claustrophobic and pressurised confines of life as a woman.

With newfound expressive freedom each song on A Modern Rage has its own distinctive voice, representing a different aspect of Charlotte?s experience but also her personality. It?s an album that cradles nostalgia with the present day, paying homage to Charlotte?s favourite singer-songwriters and bands of the 70s and 00s in one place, from Elvis to Avril Lavigne, The Killers to Sheryl Crow, accounting for her deft ability to cross genres of rock, pop, blues with subtly country twangs and moments of old soul.

Description

Located on Oldham Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Gullivers is an iconic, lively and bustling bar with a long history dating all the way back to 1865.
Gullivers has had many different guises over the years. It was originally a Wilson’s house called The Albert Hotel, then The Grenadier before J.W. Lees brewery bought the pub in the 1970s. They renamed it Gullivers and it has existed in its current form to this day.
But there’s much more to Gullivers than just the busy bar; it also houses two distinct yet complementary live music and performance spaces; the upstairs Ballroom – a 100 capacity gig venue with a raised stage and the downstairs Lounge – an intimate, 40 capacity space ideal for acoustic or low-key performances.
As well as working with established and longstanding promoters from Manchester and beyond, Gullivers prides itself on being a welcoming, supportive space and a creative hub for the city’s grassroots artistic communities; with many now successful bands, artists, performers and promoters cutting their teeth within its walls.
This rare combination of space, location and ethos allows Gullivers to boast a busy calendar of live music, spoken word, comedy, theatre, film screenings, exhibitions and much more on almost every night of the week.
