SUMMARY:Jalen Ngonda: Doctrine of Love Tour\, Brooke Combe
DESCRIPTION:Jalen Ngonda honours soul music’s rich history while pushing it forward into new territory\, an artist who’s both archivist and explorer\, a disciple of the greats actively shaping the future of music. Having spent the last three years growing this new soul vision from small clubs to arenas and festivals across the world Ngonda stands poised to become the new spokesman of authentic soul with the release of his second album Doctrine Of Love.  Doctrine Of Love is an instant classic of an album\, a long player alive with a confidence and swagger that seals the young singer’s reputation as not only the spiritual heir of soul’s great leading men but a one-off songwriting talent stepping far out from the shadows of his artistic ancestors. The title track ‘Doctrine Of Love’ sets both the emotional tone and musical template for the rest of the album\, “I wrote that track when I was trying to do anything to get out of the studio” remembers Ngonda. “I was listening to a lot of James Brown at the time and that was an inspiration – Doctrine to me was a word no-one ever uses\, I took it to be like a certificate\, the ‘Certificate of Love’ – look\, I think maybe I meant ‘doctorate’\, but we wrote it and recorded it and now it’s a whole thing.” The Doctrine of Love is multi-faceted of course – yes\, it can be a cool word that fits the song\, it can be a code\, a philosophy\, words to live by\, words to love by\, words to write some classic music by. ““I just write the song\,” Ngonda enthuses\, “the listener can interpret it however they want.”  The difference that makes Jalen Ngonda a pioneer rather than a disciple of this soul doctrine is he lives it 100%. He has an insatiable vinyl digging habit\, searching for records wherever he goes in the world. His grandmother gave him “a shitload of Stax and Motown 45s” as a teenager and that gave him the bug. “I listen almost exclusively to music from the ’60s\,” he enthuses. “The ‘50s\, the ‘40s. Pretty much nothing past about 1972. Records do sound slightly better on an analogue system\, but it’s more of a behavioural thing with me.” This extends to his effortlessly classic style\, “most of it is quite retro at the moment\,” he admits\, “that old skool thing. Who knows\, soon I might be dressing in baggy jeans and sneakers\, I’ve kind of been feeling that\, then the month after I might be dressing from the 1940s. On stage I dress in 1950s clothing because I want to wear something slick when I’m singing a slick song.” The way he conducts himself on stage is an extension of this\, the model of gentlemanly charm and grace\, as if he’d had a crash course from the legendarily rigorous Motown charm school. He’s a 21st century modern spirit questing for vintage authenticity and the walking embodiment of a classic soul gentleman\, a Marvin Gaye for the Discogs era.  Born and raised in Maryland in the suburbs of Washington DC\, the young Jalen found an early calling to the sounds of soul. “It started when I was 11 years old and I heard the Temptations on the radio\,” he remembers. “It blew my mind. I was aware that it was old but to me I. Just thought “why does this sound so good?” One discovery led to another as he followed his passion down a vinyl strewn path. “I thought this was from 1964\, so what else was released in 1964? So I’d listen to The Beatles\, The Animals\, Sonny & Cher. Didn’t care that it was old\, I just loved the way it sounded.” Self-taught on guitar\, drums and keyboards\, Jalen found his first musical break playing drums in his local church. The same church several years later raised funds to help send Jalen to study music at LIPA in 2014\, the Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts founded by Paul McCartney. Within a year he was recording and performing his own music\, moving to London in 2018 and pursuing his musical career\, busking on the street before he was recording\, clawing his way up\, refining his sound\, capturing the organic funk and soul of the classic 60s Chicago and Detroit but with his individual combination of natural charm\, swagger\, musicality and showstopping falsetto to grow into a soul icon that channels Marvin Gaye\, Jackie Wilson or David Ruffin for the 21st Century.  In 2022 Ngonda signed with Daptone Records\, the New York-based home of Thee Sacred Souls\, Lee Fields\, the Dap Kings\, Charles Bradley and the Brooklyn studio that birthed Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black. His debut album Come Around And Love Me followed in 2023\, with its breakout single and viral sensation “If You Don’t Want My Love\,” produced by Vince Chiarito and Mike Buckley.  Resident now in South London\, the last three years have taken Jalen Ngonda from the 300 capacity Moth Club in Hackney\, to the 5000 plus Hammersmith Odeon\, with the last two summers seeing him graduating from festival opening spots to a headliner in his own right\, playing to huge crowds at Glastonbury and We Out Here festival\, collaborating with Gorillaz and Jordan Rakei and supporting artists including Thee Sacred Souls\, Freddie Gibbs and Olivia Dean.  Doctrine Of Love takes the template established with Come Around And Love Me\, and distills it further down\, a perfect tight blend of vintage soul authenticity reinterpreted for a modern sensibility. Swinging drums\, soaring strings and scratching guitars lead into Ngonda’s irresistible falsetto playing with call and response with the backing singers. Every track sounds like a new Northern soul discovery or a hidden and undeclared Wu Tang sample. The trick lies in making the album the sum of the parts of life steeped in every aspect of vintage soul music and studio production without sliding into pastiche and cliche\, and its a test the album passes with bright shining colours. “The first album is more of an early 70s feel\, when I was listening to a ton of Marvin Gaye\, Curtis Mayfield and Delfonics. This album is set somewhere like 1968 so I’ve been listening to a lot of mid ’50s New Orleans records\, a lot of girl groups\, folk rock like the Byrds and The Beatles.”  Opening track and the first single “Anyone In Love” is like a lost Bacharach & David number\, a beguiling mix of hypnotic strings and dreamlike backing vocals that feels like a song you’ve lived with all your life rather than only just released. Title track ‘Doctrine Of Love’ is an instant dance floor soul classic\, building to a gospel-inspired crescendo with Ngonda testifying to step right up against a finger snapping rhythm. “Mr Train Conductor” keeps the uptempo vibes flowing\, winningly working the classic soul trope of looking to someone – postman\, switchboard operator\, cab driver – to help the narrator find their way back to their love’s arms. Like its forbears\, it’s a relatable joy. ‘Burning Temptation’ is another out and out dancefloor stomper\, a build you up buttercup of a song brimming with joy.  The second half of the album is more introspective\, downbeat and gives a chance for Ngonda’s qualities as a balladeer to shine: “Love Is Gone” takes the tempo down to a floating end of night waltz shot through with heartbreak and catharsis. The plaintive “I Can’t Ever Leave You” has a much more Southern sensibility\, a through line to Stax\, Memphis and the heartbreak histrionics of James Brown and Al Green. “Hannah\, What’s The Matter?” keeps the tempo restrained with its heartfelt plea for clarity from a lost girlfriend. “Good Good Love” goes even further back for its inspiration\, feeling back to at least the 1950s if not further\, channeling blues\, gospel and doo wop for a street corner symphony of optimistic love and desire. “Hanging On The Shelf” brings more of a funk flavour\, a shuffling groove made for sampling leading into an emotional beat ballad.  The album is rounded off by “Taken Out Of The Picture\,” a final tale of lost love and groping towards cautious understanding. “I’m always going to be writing mostly love songs\,” he explains\, “so I’ve got to keep mixing it up\, there’s only so many times I can say ‘you hurt me baby’.”  Live is the arena where Jalen Ngonda the musician\, the songwriter and the performer all align and come most into focus\, switching between heartfelt screaming\, pleading vocals\, guitar and more recently\, piano. “Being on stage\, playing guitar\, singing and having people have a great time\, it’s a great feeling. The travelling\, the hotels\, the food\, not so much\, then once you get on stage it’s amazing. It’s kind of like a drug addict\, you’re living the worst life but once you have a hit of that rock it’s amazing. I want to sing a high note\, I want a girl in the front to scream. That’s a different kind of feedback from being in the studio with the producer nodding his head and saying ‘thats cool’.” 2026 sees Jalen Ngonda fulfilling his live destiny\, with headlining appearances at festivals including Love Supreme\, Mostly Jazz\, Roskilde\, Way Out West and Oya.  A musical sponge soaking up rock and folk influences as much as soul\, name checking the Byrds in other same Breath as Stax\, Ngonda remains a renaissance soul man at heart “It’s no exaggeration to say that every day of my life I wish I would wake up in 1964 in Detroit recording with the Funk Brothers. But that’s not my life. So what I can do is express my thoughts and my fascination with that sound and period and just be an artist.”

SUMMARY:An Evening With Big Head Todd and the Monsters
DESCRIPTION:Big Head Todd and The Monsters have persisted as a rare force of nature in rock ‘n’ roll. The platinum-selling Colorado quartet—Todd Park Mohr [vocals\, guitar\, keys\, sax\, harmonica]\, Brian Nevin [drums\, percussion]\, Rob Squires [bass\, vocals]\, and Jeremy Lawton [guitar\, keys\, vocals\, steel guitar]—have consistently churned out undeniable and often uplifting anthems fueled by a hybrid of no-nonsense hard rock\, simmering soul\, dyed-in-the-wool blues\, and a twist of country. Akin to your favorite classic automobile\, their influence and imprint only widen over time\, selling out even bigger venues and enrapturing new eras of fans with every passing year. These cats have always paved their own lane. Todd\, Brian\, and Rob started playing music together while still in high school during the early eighties. Becoming Big Head Todd and The Monsters during 1986\, that lane has twisted and turned just as much as Highway 66. Following a quiet D.I.Y. rise\, the group shook the mainstream with 1993’s now-classic platinum-certified Sister Sweetly. In its wake\, Robert Plant tapped the band to open his Fate of Nations Tour. Following Strategem [1994]\, they unveiled Beautiful World [1997] highlighted by a cover of “Boom Boom” [feat. John Lee Hooker]—which notably became the theme song for NCIS: New Orleans. They welcomed Jeremy to the fold in 2001. After penning “Blue Sky” at the urging of friends connected to NASA\, they notably performed the song live from Mission Control as an interplanetary wakeup call for astronauts on the shuttle. Along the way\, the guys joined B.B. King for a “Crossroads” session and toured with blues heroes a la Hubert Sumlin and David “Honeyboy” Edwards. They have headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre a staggering 35 times. Recognizing “38 years of continuous musical service to fans\,” the Colorado Music Hall of Fame inducted the quartet as part of its “Class of 2023.” Now\, they’ve crafted the perfect soundtrack to this journey in the form of their 12th full-length offering\, Thunderbird.

SUMMARY:Eddie 9V
DESCRIPTION:Eddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories – and you’ll find twelve of them on his most recent studio album Saratoga\, released in November 2024 on the fabled Ruf Records label. A thrilling mix of Southern soul\, blues\, rock\, and funk\, Saratoga proved to be a gamechanger: a road trip-ready record filled with razor-sharp observations\, vintage textures\, and raw humanity. It also marked a major career milestone: Eddie 9V’s soulful sound began reaching hundreds of thousands of new fans across the globe. \nNow signed to Easy Eye Sound — the Nashville-based label founded by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys — Eddie 9V is preparing to release a brand-new album in 2026. And the momentum keeps growing. Since Saratoga dropped\, Eddie’s monthly listeners on Spotify have exploded from 8\,000 to peaking at over 800\,000.. Songs like “Halo\,” “Saratoga” and “Love Moves Slow” have become SiriusXM Spectrum-certified tracks\, gaining steady spins and major audience love. \nBut this rise is years in the making. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local Georgia stage\, Eddie 9V (born Brooks Mason) has been an artist to watch. First cutting his teeth in cover bands and regional blues circuits\, he made the leap to full-time frontman with a name that couldn’t be ignored. “I wanted to start from scratch – and I ain’t never heard of no bluesman named Eddie 9V.” \nThat leap paid off. His early albums Left My Soul In Memphis (2019) and Little Black Flies (2021) turned heads for their wild energy and vintage flair. 2022’s Capricorn was a breakout moment\, earning rave reviews from Classic Rock\, The Guardian\, and more. It debuted at #1 on the blues charts before being dethroned by Bonnie Raitt — “a cool story to be able to say\,” Eddie laughs. \nBy the time Saratoga arrived\, Eddie 9V had evolved into a full-spectrum songwriter\, tapping into deep wells of soul and storytelling alongside his brother and longtime collaborator Lane Kelly. Much of the album was recorded at their Echo Deco Studio in Atlanta\, with some sessions at Denver’s Crown Lanes Studio. From the disco-tinged horns of the title track to the fuzzed-out dreamscape of “Delta\,” it’s a record that widened the lens without losing the grit.\nNow with a major label partner\, national tours\, SiriusXM airplay\, and streaming growth that shows no signs of slowing\, Eddie 9V is poised for the next chapter. A new album is on the horizon. The band is sharper than ever. And if Saratoga was the ignition\, what’s coming next is the open highway.\n“I’m already writing new songs\,” he says. “You never stop.”

SUMMARY:Leo Kottke
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke was born in Athens\, Georgia\, but left town after a year and a half. Raised in 12 different states\, he absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child\, flirting with both violin and trombone\, before abandoning Stravinsky for the guitar at age 11.  After adding a love for the country-blues of Mississippi John Hurt to the music of John Phillip Sousa and Preston Epps\, Kottke joined the Navy underage\, to be underwater\, and eventually lost some hearing shooting at lightbulbs in the Atlantic while serving on the USS Halfbeak\, a diesel submarine.  Kottke had previously entered college at the U of Missouri\, dropping out after a year to hitchhike across the country to South Carolina\, then to New London and into the Navy\, with his twelve string. “The trip was not something I enjoyed\,” he has said\, “I was broke and met too many interesting people.”  Discharged in 1964\, he settled in the Twin Cities area and became a fixture at Minneapolis’ Scholar Coffeehouse\, which had been home to Bob Dylan and John Koerner. He issued his 1968 recording debut LP Twelve String Blues\, recorded on a Viking quarter-inch tape recorder\, for the Scholar’s tiny Oblivion label. (The label released one other LP by The Langston Hughes Memorial Eclectic Jazz Band.) After sending tapes to guitarist John Fahey\, Kottke was signed to Fahey’s Takoma label\, releasing what has come to be called the Armadillo record. Fahey and his manager Denny Bruce soon secured a production deal for Kottke with Capitol Records.  Kottke’s 1971 major-label debut\, “Mudlark\,” positioned him somewhat uneasily in the singer/songwriter vein\, despite his own wishes to remain an instrumental performer. Still\, despite arguments with label heads as well as with Bruce\, Kottke flourished during his tenure on Capitol\, as records like 1972’s “Greenhouse” and 1973’s live “My Feet Are Smiling” and “Ice Water” found him branching out with guest musicians and honing his guitar technique.  With 1975’s Chewing Pine\, Kottke reached the U.S. Top 30 for the second time; he also gained an international following thanks to his continuing tours in Europe and Australia. His collaboration with Phish bassist Mike Gordon\, “Clone\,” caught audiences’ attention in 2002. Kottke and Gordon followed with a recording in the Bahamas called “Sixty Six Steps\,” produced by Leo’s old friend and Prince producer David Z.  Kottke has been awarded two Grammy nominations; a Doctorate in Music Performance by the Peck School of Music at the U of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee; and a Certificate of Significant Achievement in Not Playing the Trombone from the U of Texas at Brownsville with Texas Southmost College.

SUMMARY:Foy Vance: The Wake World Tour
DESCRIPTION:The seventh album from Foy Vance\, The Wake marks the completion of a decades-long journey defined by tireless soul-searching and life-altering revelation. While playing a gig on the Spanish island of Lanzarote in January 1999\, the Northern Ireland-born singer/songwriter experienced a moment of unprecedented transcendence onstage\, then learned the next morning that his father had suffered a fatal heart attack that very night. Overcome by grief and a galvanizing clarity\, Vance immediately resolved to create seven albums informed by the loss of his father—a traveling preacher who moved their family to the American South when Vance was a baby\, and set him on his life’s path by teaching him to play guitar early in his childhood. At turns devastating and ecstatic and wildly illuminating\, The Wake reveals an artist highly attuned to the task of preserving the human spirit in an often-unforgiving world.

SUMMARY:Foy Vance: The Wake World Tour
DESCRIPTION:The seventh album from Foy Vance\, The Wake marks the completion of a decades-long journey defined by tireless soul-searching and life-altering revelation. While playing a gig on the Spanish island of Lanzarote in January 1999\, the Northern Ireland-born singer/songwriter experienced a moment of unprecedented transcendence onstage\, then learned the next morning that his father had suffered a fatal heart attack that very night. Overcome by grief and a galvanizing clarity\, Vance immediately resolved to create seven albums informed by the loss of his father—a traveling preacher who moved their family to the American South when Vance was a baby\, and set him on his life’s path by teaching him to play guitar early in his childhood. At turns devastating and ecstatic and wildly illuminating\, The Wake reveals an artist highly attuned to the task of preserving the human spirit in an often-unforgiving world. \nProduced by Ethan Johns (the Brit Award-winning producer known for his work with Paul McCartney\, Ray LaMontagne\, and more)\, The Wake brings Vance’s gritty vocal work to a potent convergence of folk and soul and Southern blues\, instilling every moment with an unbridled vitality. In his intimate exploration of the human condition\, the Scotland-based artist muses on matters both intensely personal (e.g.\, fatherhood\, heartbreak) and wholly existential (the slippery essence of time\, the looming crisis of AI’s unchecked ascent). The final volume in a run of albums that began with his 2007 debut Hope—and also includes standouts like 2016’s The Wild Swan (executive-produced by Elton John)\, 2019’s From Muscle Shoals and To Memphis (recorded at the historic FAME Studios and Sam Phillips Recordings Studios\, respectively)\, and 2021’s Signs of Life (partly made at Vance’s home in the Scottish Highlands)—the result is the purest distillation yet of his truly singular artistry\, imparting a defiant joy into songs of longing and loss and hard-won acceptance.
