Ohtis

If you are looking for plans in September, Ohtis will be playing at The Prince Albert on the 10th. It is a familiar spot for many of us in Brighton, located right at 48 Trafalgar Street, and it usually makes for a decent setting for live music. The show is scheduled to start at 20:00, so it is a straightforward evening plan if you are around that part of town.

For those who haven't caught them live before, Ohtis is the project of Sam Swinson and Adam Pressley. Their sound leans into folk experimental territory, and they often perform with a rotating group of musicians, including multi-instrumentalist Nate Hahn. If you have listened to their album Curve of Earth, you will know that the songwriting is quite personal. Swinson wrote much of that material reflecting on his own experiences, specifically his upbringing in a fundamentalist cult and his journey through addiction. It is the kind of music that tends to work well in an intimate venue like The Prince Albert, where you can actually hear the lyrics and the arrangements properly.

Tickets for the night are currently priced between £12.79 and £13.75. It is a fairly standard price point for a gig of this size in the city. Whether you are already a fan of their specific brand of indie-folk or you are just looking to check out a band that has been building a reputation for this kind of autobiographical storytelling, it is a solid option for a Wednesday night out. It is worth keeping in mind that The Prince Albert is a popular venue, so if you are planning to go, it is usually better to sort out your tickets sooner rather than later.
