Jim Lockey & the Solemn Sun

This December 15th join us at the Frog and Fiddle as 'Xtra Mile Recordings' & 'IStartedTheFire' bring 'Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun' back to the Barn for their LONG awaited return! Featuring support from 'Charlotte Carpenter'! JIM LOCKEY & THE SOLEMN SUN // @jlandtss Turn the clock back a decade and Jim Lockey and The Solemn Sun, are one of the hardest working bands in the UK... Described then as ?Acoustic-led songs that bristle with an energy redolent of punk rock record collection and love concerts in hot rooms. A blast.? 4/5 Kerrang! Following an explorative stint under the shortened moniker of 'Solemn Sun' the band are back to pick up where they left off. Returning after an 10 year hiatus with ?Reno?; their first offering from 2023's album ?Colour?, which sets the scene for their most ambitious effort to date. If the band?s critically acclaimed softmore effort ?Death? (2012, Xtra Mile Recordings) was concerned with the end, ?Colour? is a narration of everything that comes after. It?s a break up record, with hope and ambition. Focused on prominent occurrences in Lockey?s life after ?Death? the album discusses the thoughts and feelings he?s most at war with. Dealing with the premature end of a marriage, rediscovering himself as an individual and finding ways through are themes that bubble under the surface throughout; with notions of all punctuating each song. https://www.facebook.com/jimlockeyandthesolemnsun/ CHARLOTTE CARPENTER // @ccarpentermusic Between 2014 - 2019; East Midland?s singer-songwriter Charlotte Carpenter made her name by releasing a series of heavily championed EPs.
