About the show

North Coast Arts presents: Serious Child & My Girl The River + Annown

Two brilliant artists from the worlds of Americana and British folk-pop join forces as a trio with double bassist Joe Hughes in a celebration of what brings us together.

Serious Child

Serious Child hails from an old beech wood in Sussex, and draws from a range of acoustic influences from folk to pop to bossa nova. His pin-sharp lyrics explore the world around us with a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail.

“writes about Britain today in a way that is almost tactile… with wit, style, intelligence and bags of melody” ★★★★★ Spiral Earth

My Girl The River

Kris Wilkinson Hughes aka My Girl the River is a Louisiana native, now based in the UK after a decade of songwriting in Nashville. She has recently released her third album, Songs About Space, to strong critical acclaim.
As a performer, she is funny, warm and fearless with a sackful of hook laden songs and a voice of sweet sugared espresso.

“A lovely mélange of Americana Roots music brings to mind Jason Isbell and Lucinda Williams…. exceptional songwriting” ★★★★ Paste Magazine

Annown

Annown are a Cornish contemporary folk duo who are inspired by the old Cornish tales and quirky histories which feature in their original songs. They have released 5 acclaimed albums to date, several of which have been 'Albums of the Week' on local folk specialist radio shows.
