AUTONOMY 8! (ACOUSTIC) FEAT. IZZY HARTLEY - ELSA HEWITT - THE FOLK DRAMA - BARNDANCER

York DIY music scene presents a night of local live music, run by musicians.

They’re a talented bunch, and this night always delivers..!

Izzy Hartley
A dynamic performer with heartfelt and honest songs, clever lyrics and hooks aplenty. The Pennydrops’ lead singer heads up this Autonomy line up with a special solo performance. Izzy has a string of new songs to share with us, each as haunting and endearing as each other. With a warm, but powerful vocal, somehow jazzy but also grungy arrangements, Izzy’s songs will grab you by the heartstrings.

Elsa Hewitt
Combining Math-Folk and Ambient music, Elsa’s songwriting knows no bounds. A musical genius who plunges audiences into a trancelike state. Expect atmosphere, emotion and musical mysticism. Each song is a journey, and each story is a treasure.

the FOLK DRAMA
the FOLK DRAMA are Aaron from Edinburgh & Violeta from LA. They met at a Glasgow pub on Christmas Day 2024. They quickly discovered a shared love of The Beach Boys, Arthur Lee & Pavement and agreed to form a band. Cash was tight and they moved into a flat together in the west end of Glasgow where the FOLK DRAMA songs were written and demoed on an iPhone. They emerged from said bedsit with a completed new sound. Their debut EP ‘Not in the next life’ was released on Assai/VF records on 20th April this year.

Barndancer
A debut solo show for Barndancer, a singer songwriter based in York whose songs combine late 90s Indie/Alternative with Folk/Americana. His lyrics are smart, his guitar playing is sharp and his sets are full of earworms. The perfect opener for this acoustic showcase!
