Jodie Marie (Boia Festival)
October 29 - 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Jodie will play an exclusive ‘unplugged’ set in the Oriel Lounge on our baby grand piano as part of the Boia Festival.
Jodie Marie was signed to Decca Records/ Universal Music in 2010 and began writing songs with former Suede guitarist and producer Bernard Butler and singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt.
The Guardian described her debut album, Mountain Echo (2011 – Verve), as ‘velvety and bittersweet’ and received much critical acclaim. The Independent described her sound as ‘having a light-blues and jazz-folk-edge recalling late-1960s singer-songwriters such as Carole King’ on her second album, Trouble in Mind (2015).
Her third album, The Answer (2021), features the singles, ‘Carageen’, ‘This House’, and ’Ain’t No Doubt About It’, which has had A-list support from BBC Wales. Welsh Connections has described it as ‘a contemporary masterpiece’.
Her latest release, ‘Polar Night’ (May 2023 – Carmel Records – Caru Music Ltd), was inspired by her time spent just over three weeks above the Arctic Circle in January 2023, isolated in a cabin on a remote island, surrounded by the beautiful landscape, extreme weather conditions and stories of the indigenous Sámi people.
‘This beautiful collection of atmospheric songs exemplifies just how far she has come since her debut in 2012.’ – NewSoundWales.
‘The Answer’ & ‘Polar Night’ are available to buy via Carmel Records – Caru Music on CD, 12” Vinyl and enjoy via all major streaming platforms.
