Shotgun Jimmie is a singer-songwriter/one-person-band based in Manitoba, Canada. He’s been touring regularly and releasing records on Toronto’s You’ve Changed Records since 2009. Jimmie cut his rock & roll teeth in the early 2000’s, as part of the seminal Canadian indie outfit Shotgun and Jaybird alongside Canadian indie darling Julie Doiron (Eric’s Trip). He has appeared on recordings by John K. Samson (Weakerthans), Joel Plaskett (Thrush Hermit) and By Divine Right. His 2011 release Transistor Sister was long-listed for Canada’s Polaris Music Prize. In May 2024 Jimmie toured the UK with Mathias Kom and Ariel Sharratt from the Burning Hell. This time around, in support of his new self-titled EP, Jimmie will be accompanied by Canadian cellist Leanne Zacharias.

+ Christian Le Surf: Born in Angmering and based in Brighton, Christian Le Surf is a singer-songwriter and artist creating experimental pop worlds that dive into inclinations of post-rock, folk and indie pop. Taking a chameleonic approach to his work, Christian’s music explores odysseys into songs surrounding themes of politics and heartbreak, or vast polyrhythmic minimalism projects, all the while maintaining a distinct nostalgia-infused sound palette that has enjoyed cult success and BBC Introducing airplay.

Christian has enjoyed his growth in the Brighton live music circuit, coming off the back of projects like his 2021 debut album ‘Bontempi Cher Lloyd 1999’, or his two back-to-back EPs dropped in October 2023, ‘The King’s Meadow’ and ‘The Scroll’, the latter of which saw a sell-out show at The Folklore Rooms complete with stage interviews and a disorienting live performance. Christian operates his live shows between a full live band and an invigorating solo loop pedal-based arrangement that melds surreal improvisational performances with skeletons of his songs. His latest release, ‘I Wish You Hell’, acts as the first single from his upcoming sophomore studio album ‘Chicago, the Moon!’ set for release 22nd April.

Unfortunately we’re not accessible for those in wheelchairs or those that have any serious physical disability. The toilets aren’t accessible and the stairway up to the venue isn’t either. We’re an old listed building and despite all efforts, is sadly something we are unable to change.
