About this concert
Puma Blue is the alias of South Londoner Jacob Allen, who has been delicately honing his purposefully paradoxical sound, blending downtown jazz sax lines with J Dilla grooves and a heart-wrenching vocal akin to Jeff Buckley, Chet Baker and Billie Holliday. This blend is completed by Allen's punk-inspired grit and the ferocity of his live performances, backed by a four-piece band, spewing out tortured love songs and sensual rhythms topped by his haunting falsetto vocals.

Puma Blue Biography
Puma Blue is the alias of artist, producer & romantic, Jacob Allen.
Originally finding recognition in the South London music scene for his falsetto vocal & dark, lo-fi textures, Puma Blue's music is noted for a blend of intimate fragility, sensual grooves & haunting, nocturnal ambience.
His live shows are well regarded & oft-repeat attended, performing with a band of close friends & blending jazz-influenced improvisation with a vocal energy often likened to Jeff Buckley.
After early online acclaim with a couple of SoundCloud demos, he first gained wider attention with his EPs Swum Baby (2017) and Blood Loss (2018). His debut album In Praise Of Shadows was released in 2021, followed by an hour long concert-film 'A Late Night Special' which was met with high praise, both for the visuals & performance.
Now returning with a more band-focused sound inspired by touring, a second album ‘Holy Waters’ is set for a September 1st release, preceded by singles Pretty and Hounds.
