Jim E. Brown, the 19-year-old singer and poet from Didsbury, makes his first-ever appearance at The Sugarmill in Hanley.
Jim E. Brown plays The Sugarmill on Friday 12 March, his first ever appearance in Stoke-on-Trent. He's a 19-year-old singer and poet from Didsbury, Manchester, and a born-and-bred Mancunian through and through. His sound draws on the city's post-punk and baggy tradition, built around drum machines and synths that critics have compared to New Order, with a vocal style likened to Mark E. Smith of The Fall.
Two of his tracks, 'I'm Quitting Prozac To Continue Drinking' and 'I Found A Dead Fox Outside Sainsbury's In Fallowfield', have earned him a global following. The critic Mark Sinker has called him 'Manchester's beloved son', noting that he's played to sold-out shows across the world. This is the first time he's brought that to Stoke, and he'll be the only name on the bill.
