SADIE JEMMETT and RUSSELL JOSLIN present two contrasting twists on contemporary Americana songwriting. Forging their idiosyncratic styles after dark, in the folk clubs and small venues of noughties London, they collaborated, earnt accolades, and became great friends. Many of the old venues are gone, but the Green Note thrives, so they return once again for a double-bill of Jemmett's 'quivering and windswept' anthems and Joslin's biting 'Americana noir'.

Sadie Jemmett’s extraordinary songs reflect a remarkable life, from a wildly bohemian childhood and teenage runaway to her role today as one of the most original singer-songwriters to excite our ears in many years. 
 
Sadie’s latest album Phoenix was released June 2019 on TwoUpTwoDown Records/Absolute Universal and produced and recorded by Joby Baker (Cowboy Junkies, The Waylin’ Jennys) on Vancouver Island, Canada.
 
‘Don’t Silence Me’, the critically acclaimed single and music video from the album has already made international headline news on both CBS and the BBC and has been hailed as ‘A powerful anthem for the #metoo movement.’


With a guitar style reminiscent of a grunge-soaked John Fahey moonlighting with the 13th Floor Elevators, plus vocal aims to mix the gravitas of 16 Horsepower’s David Eugene Edwards with the passionate abandon of The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser, London-based Russell Joslin vitiates the singer-songwriter tradition until it sounds as splintered as today’s society. His fifth album, ‘O Veisalgia’, is a collection of vivid sonic pictures which twists various forms of duet-led folk-rock, post-punk and grunge into modern tales of addiction, urban violence, masculinity and digital malaise.
