Live show by singer-songwriter Heidi Curtis, who blends rock, indie and folk, at Hyde Park Book Club.
Heidi Curtis plays Hyde Park Book Club on Tuesday 20 October, starting at 7:30 pm. It's a headline show presented by Futuresound Events, and she'll be fronting her own full band for the night.
Curtis is a singer-songwriter from North Shields who pulls together rock, indie and folk to build her own sound. The influences she lists give a good sense of where that sits: Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley and Florence + the Machine. It's a mix that leans into the melodic and the vocal, and she's known for a powerful voice and lyrics that hold their own. With a tight band behind her, the set should have a proper full-band weight to it rather than sitting as a solo acoustic affair.
If you're not familiar with her, that list of names is a useful starting point. You've got the classic songwriting of Fleetwood Mac, the theatricality of Kate Bush and Florence + the Machine, and the raw, emotive side of Jeff Buckley. It's a broad spread, but they all share a focus on the voice as the lead, which is exactly where Curtis puts her emphasis.
