Jana Horn Concert

We have a really interesting gig coming up in Brighton soon. On Sunday, March 1, 2026, the American songwriter Jana Horn is scheduled to perform as part of the 'Folklore Sessions' at The Folklore Rooms.

Horn, who hails from Texas, is known for her distinctive, minimalist style. Her music is often described as distilled, searching, and quietly intense, tracing the quiet edges of experience with rare precision. She’ll be presenting her third, self-titled album, which was released in January 2026. The album was recorded in the West Texas desert, and its sound evokes that environment—dry air, open space, and spoken-sung lines that land like observations heard in a dream. If you appreciate the rough emotional static found in early Cat Power records or the sparse poetics of Loren Connors, this performance should definitely be on your radar. MOJO magazine even compared her sound to the jazz elements of Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden.

The venue itself, The Folklore Rooms, is located above The Quadrant Pub at 12 North Street. It’s a small, intimate space with a capacity of only about 60 people, ensuring a close-up experience for the audience. Regarding the timing, there seems to be a slight variation in listings: some sources indicate the event starts at 7:30 PM, while others list 8:00 PM, so it’s wise to confirm the exact start time with the promoter closer to the date.

Tickets are currently on sale. You can usually grab them for £12.50 if purchased in advance, though the standard guide price is listed around £14.10, which typically includes booking fees. There is also a bit of conflicting information regarding the age restriction: some listings state 18+, while others mention 14+ (with under 16s needing to be accompanied by an adult). Given the venue’s nature, checking the final restriction with the Folklore Sessions promoter is the safest approach before planning your visit. It promises to be a deep, thoughtful evening of songwriting.
