Katie Alice Single Release Party

Katie Alice is playing The Cardigan Arms on Wednesday 21 October, a single release party that'll see her on stage with her full band. It's an all-ages show, so you can bring whoever you like along.

Alice has spent the last six years in Leeds building a sound that sits somewhere between indie-folk and pop, with lush harmonies, honest lyrics and intricate instrumentation. She describes her music as something that lets listeners sit with difficult emotions without getting stuck in them, carrying the weight of heartbreak, uncertainty and self-reflection balanced by an energetic, hopeful spirit. It's the kind of songwriting that doesn't shy away from the heavy stuff, but keeps a bit of light around the edges.

This is a single release party, so the new track will be front and centre, played out with the band behind her. The whole thing is billed as an intimate show, and it sits in the indie rock, folk and singer-songwriter tradition that the Cardigan Arms has long been a home for. If you've followed her work over the last few years, this is a chance to hear the new material live and in the room.

Doors open at 7:30pm, and the night runs through until 11:00, so there's plenty of time to get in and settle before the music starts. The Cardigan Arms is at 364 Kirkstall Road, LS4 2HQ.
