Vortex Tour East

Thurs 5th – Tues 11th March 2009


Vortex Tour East returns with three exceptional artists who will tour for East 2009.

Creating their own distinctive multi-genre sound from folk and jazz through to soul and hip-hop, Theo Bard, Fiona Bevan and Jonathan Geyevu are currently making a name for themselves on the London music scene.

Vortex Tour East will bring these singer songwriters together for the first time to perform across the East End. Watch out for free performances in unexpected places between Thursday 5th and Tuesday 11th March 2009.

Theo Bard

Theo Bard is a man who feels that his best way to communicate with the world is through music. Inspired by the clarity of storytelling in traditional folk, he draws on reggae, hip-hop and acoustic elements to tell his own stories, with a rare lyrical power. Never afraid of simplicity in music, he shares philosophies, perspectives and poetry with an unusual honesty and lucidity.

"Gratifying truth serum for your ears" – The Blue Light District

Fiona Bevan

Fiona Bevan has been compared to Erykah Badu, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and Marc Bolan. Her jazz-inflected folk songs wryly depict love and city life with dark quirks and kinks.

"Absolutely brilliant" Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

Jonathan Geyevu

Jonathan Geyevu is a pianist/ singer who has a distinctly spacious, gracefully melodic approach to the piano and is developing his own jazz-influenced singer-songwriter style.

Jonathan recently played at The Barbican and he's currently working with East London Dance and two French hip-hop dancers. www.myspace.com/jonathangeyevu
