Callum O'Neil plays Arts Centre Washington on Friday 11 December, with support from Kayden Turner and Daniel Maple. It's a headline show for the Washington singer-songwriter, and it sits within the venue's Christmas programme.
O'Neil's music blends the intimacy of bedroom pop with the energy of indie rock, and he describes it as being rooted in real-life stories and feelings. He first picked up a guitar at nine and developed his playing through the Right Track Young Musicians project at Arts Centre Washington, so this is a return to the place where he first started out. He's cited Sam Fender and Ed Tullet as influences, and his debut single Useless Time came after support from the We Make Culture Next Steps programme. He's played a sold-out headline show at The Ship Isis, too.
There's a festive side to his recent work: in 2024 he won Sunderland Music City's Christmas Songwriting Competition with his original song You're All I Need This Christmas, which he later recorded with Barry Hyde of The Futureheads. That fits well enough with the timing of this one, which falls as part of the Arts Centre's Christmas line-up.
