Grace Georgia, Dreamwire & The Trades
Mar

Grace Georgia, Dreamwire & The Trades

Grace Georgia is an emerging Indie Folk and Rock artist from South Kent based in East London. Characterised by her imaginative and intimate lyricism, alongside dream-like chord progressions, she’s been told by listeners that her music draws you in with full attention from how little she holds back in her songwriting.

Dreamwire took shape when Augusto (guitar) and Fionna (vocals) crossed paths through a mutual musician friend in South East London. Augusto had contacted people in a seemingly endless search for band members, when the bassist of his brothers band Chest said that he had met a girl at a party who had: "too good-er personality to not be in a band."

The Trades are an Indie Rock and Alternative band based in London, fronted by lead vocalist and guitarist: Harry King. Their sound combines punchy guitar riffs, a dynamic rhythm section and lyrics that explore the liminal space of growing up on the edge of London. Drawing inspiration from artists including: Sam Fender, Wunderhorse, Fontaines D.C. and Oasis, The Trades’ music reflects the spirit of a generation entering adulthood with the uncertainty and contradictions belonging to a world in constant flux.
