ANGEL SNOW

Angel Snow is an American musician, originally from Georgia and currently based in Nashville, TN.

When Angel sings, she hands her heart to the listener, pouring out raw emotion through honest and introspective music.

Her unique Americana folk sound, coupled with a modern edge, provides a soulful backdrop for lyrics based on everything from personal experience to vivid dreams.

When the lights go down and the world turns off, the truth comes into focus.

Such moments of quiet introspection inform, impact, and inspire Nashville songstress Angel Snow. As life spins at light speed without pause, Snow provides understated ambient pop folk bliss that echoes with pure and powerful emotion.

?Over the last few years, during the pandemic and beyond, I was able to get outside of myself and see the range of the composition in these new recordings. It opened me up a little bit more to embrace the songs for what they are, and not be self conscious about them. The emotions really showed through and shined. The feeling behind everything gets to the forefront. It?s a great way for the lyrics and stories to resonate.?

Her performance today is by far the best she?s sounded... and she wants others to know they?re not alone in this relentless and foreboding war of our minds. I?m hoping to get through and help with the process.

Angel beckons you turn off the lights, close your eyes, and drift off to this music.

?I think we should all just sit in the dark with one another and see each other for who we really are. Don?t deny who you are now or who you?ve been in the past. Be in the moment more. A lot of my music is about this. I?m just trying be the best person I know how to be, embrace any and all flaws, and create to the best of my ability. I want to be in the moment. I want to use all of the gifts that I?ve been given and take advantage of them while I?m here.?

"Angel Snow's music is absolutely beautiful. When she sings I hold my breath." - Alison Krauss

Description

The 200 year long story of The Castle Hotel is woven not just into it’s bricks and mortar, its Victorian tiles or its mosaic floors. It’s a feeling that you can’t put your finger on. It’s in its people. In its memories. And in the layers of history built up over centuries of experience.

The Castle Hotel started life in 1776, although records show that there has been a dwelling on the site since the 1400s. Over the course of a century the pub changed name several times, trading first as The Crown and Sceptre, then The Crown and Anchor and later The Clock Face. In the late nineteenth century the pub was acquired by Kay’s Atlas Brewery and started a new chapter as The Castle Hotel; which is probably when the current tiled façade and bar were added. In the early 1930s Frederic Robinson took over Kay’s Atlas Brewery and, consequently, The Castle Hotel.

The pub’s now deeply cemented relationship with the city’s music scene probably began when it was a stopping off point for people on their way to Band on the Wall.

In 1979, a now legendary John Peel interview with Ian Curtis took place here, weaving The Castle further into the fabric of Manchester’s musical heritage. Sadly, The Castle fell on hard times and closed it’s doors in 2008. This cherished public house was not to remain closed for long though, and in 2009 friends Jonny Booth and Rupert Hill took over The Castle Hotel and set about bringing the decrepit building back to life.

After a period of restoration which saw the infamous leaky roof replaced and the pub’s entire interior sympathetically brought back in line with it’s rich heritage, the renovation was completed in October 2010 with the grand unveiling of the new Music Hall and Theatre at In The City 2010.

So that’s the story so far. And now The Castle Hotel is ready for it’s next chapter; one which will see this historical drinking house continue to evolve at the beating heart of Manchester’s creative communities. So come along, pull up a stool, and become a part of our story.
