POLR Presents - RYDE and T.E. Yates

  • To The Moon 27 Midland Road Bristol, England, BS2 0JW United Kingdom (map)

POLR is back at To The Moon for more beautiful music. This month sees some extraordinary songwriting and performance from RYDE and T.E. Yates. Plus as always, it’ll be hosted by the wonderfully talented Fritillaries.

RYDE

RYDE is the new musical collaboration between jazz singer Bronte Shande and folk musician Arran Glass.

After meeting in Bristol during a turbulent time in both their lives, the collaboration that followed saw their individual styles of playing and singing blend beautifully to create a completely new sound. RYDE consequently lies somewhere between folk and jazz. Intriguing, vulnerable lyrics blend with raw and fragile harmonies over minimal and melancholic guitar.

T.E. Yates

Unassuming, unusual and enigmatic, T.E. Yates is a multi-disciplinary artist of rare and disarming qualities that must be seen and heard to be believed.

His new EP Strange Weather continues the feverishly eclectic stylings of his previous records whilst maintaining the songwriting prowess and wry honesty that have won him plaudits from radio, press, peers and fans alike. His unique sound weaves effortlessly through Americana, Folk, Old-Time, 60s Pop, 70s Songwriters, Post-Punk, Rock and even Jazz and Ragtime.
As is commonplace nowadays, T.E. Yates will be joined by old-time fiddler Joe Mansfield on violin and viola.

According to Alabaster dePlume - “T.E. Yates is a beautiful character. He’s not quite like the rest of us... He presents us with absolutely nothing but himself. He aspires to no grandeur. He offers, simply, his very soul.”
