About This Event

Zak Younger Banks is a Newcastle-based alt-folk singer-songwriter whose music pairs emotionally raw vocals with poetic, place-rooted lyrics. Drawing on indie fingerstyle guitar and, more recently, a more ambient, electric-leaning palette, his songs have drawn comparisons to the likes of James Blake, Bon Iver and Leonard Cohen. Much of his writing is tied to specific places that matter to him, lending the material a strong sense of atmosphere and locality. This show is a preview of his forthcoming album, offering an early, intimate listen to new material alongside songs from his existing catalogue. Expect a considered, lyric-led performance suited to the room, with the songwriter's distinctive vocal delivery front and centre.
