INDIE FOLK TALENT AMELIA COBURN PREPARES TO SET OFF ON FIRST FULL BAND TOUR | INTERVIEW

AMELIA JOINS SAM SHINER TO CHAT ABOUT THEIR DEBUT ALBUM AND IMPENDING TOUR DATES

With an unique and heartwarming vocal talent, Middlesbrough based indie folk singer-songwriter Amelia Coburn is a delight to the auditory senses. Having made the finals of BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Artist of The Year back in 2017, Amelia’s talent has been followed and encouraged since.

‘Amelia Coburn is darkness and light. From tales of vengeful widows and moonlit stream-of-consciousness to songs filled with whimsical romance, she has a knack for making the unusual sound timeless. Her work is populated with the characters she meets in the dark shadows of literature, film noir and travels in unfamiliar lands. Amelia threads Tin Pan Alley melodies through European folk music and torchlit jazz with a blur of psychedelia and baroque pop.’

Citing musical influences from across the musical spectrum such as Joni Mitchell, Liza Minelli, Serge Gainsborg and David Bowie; Amelia’s musical style reflects the melodic soundscape of the music she grew up with and fell in love with.

Her debut album ‘Between the Moon and The Milkman’ was released back in March this year to substantial critical acclaim. Featuring the production credit of the former yet founding member of The Coral Bill Ryder-Jones, the record can be picked up on many variants via her website. This week, Amelia sets off on tour and for the first time, she brings a full band along for the ride. Many dates are already down to the final figures, but you can check current availability HERE

New music enthusiast Sam Shiner had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Amelia ahead of her impending UK tour which you can watch or listen to via the links below.
