India Bourne is a classically trained musician, songwriter, vocal coach and long-time member of Ben Howard’s live band, where she’s toured the world singing, playing cello, bass and percussion with Ben. Alongside her work with Ben, she’s released her own music as Tender Central, blending electronica and folk in beautifully crafted songs that nod to the likes of Massive Attack, Lamb and Joni Mitchell.
A local and good friend of ours at Outside, for this special show she’s bringing her band Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), Nathan Wason and Jem Fatna for an intimate show, weaving together cello, piano, drums, electric guitar and vocals.
She’ll be supported by The Big Skirts, a female a cappella choir who sing weekly in Ashburton, they sing a mix of arrangements of alternative pop, American folk, world music and originals by India.
Established in 2016, the choir started with only a handful of women but quickly grew into a tight-knit group of regulars who India says now feel like her extended family. She writes “We are sisters, mothers, daughters, artists, teachers, doctors, environmentalists, yoga teachers, seamstresses, actresses, chefs and much more",
Expect an evening that’s part folk, part classical, part pure magic, with moments of full-band power, delicate solo performances, and spine-tingling a cappella songs!
