About
SEB LOWE (10:30 PM)
(Indie folk - Manchester, UK)
Introducing Seb Lowe, the rising star of the British indie scene, aged only 22, leading a band featuring Kate Couriel on violin and Joel Goodwin on drums. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Sinead O’Connor, Led Zeppelin, Arctic Monkeys, Eminem, and David Bowie, Seb’s music reflects a clever blend of these influences.
While his songs address burning topics such as social injustice, politics, sexism, and many others, Seb’s wit, humor, and melodic sensitivity ensure they are delivered with nuance and accessibility. He places great importance on the power of words to spark constructive conversations, even between participants who might seem at odds.
KATE COURIEL (9:30 PM)
(Folk - Manchester, UK)
Kate Couriel is an electric violinist based in Manchester, best known for her central role in the band Seb Lowe. Coming from a classical music background, Kate developed high-level technique, on par with the Hallé Youth Orchestra—where she was the youngest musician at the time. Once her training was complete, Kate began exploring the electric violin to push the conventional boundaries of the instrument and venture into a wide range of musical genres.
As the lead violinist on K's debut album, which charted, Kate brought baroque-style flourishes to their indie rock sound. With the Seb Lowe band, Kate draws on classical, folk, theatrical, punk, and rock music to highlight Seb’s powerful lyricism, thus developing a "one-of-a-kind sound." She is said to "energize songs through the drama that her strings bring to rock music."
