Detta Kenzie (with Tobias ben Jacob) @ Temperance
Tickets
Mar 30 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

We are very excited to welcome the wonderful Detta Kenzie who will be performing songs from her new EP, accompanied by Temperance favourite Tobias ben Jacob (Jacob and Drinkwater and his own Bob Dylan project) on guitar.

Detta Kenzie is an English folk singer creating original songs alongside reworking traditional music. With both Irish and Scottish heritage, Detta is committed to collecting, restoring and sharing songs passed down in the oral tradition.

In her original work, a deep connection to the natural world is ever present. Inspired by place names, specific references to locations in Britain, Ireland and Australia bring a strength to Detta’s creations. Themes of womanhood, grief, rebellion and rage can be found in her deeply narrative based songs.

Having worked as a Secondary English Teacher before transitioning into music, Detta’s love of language shines through in her storytelling. Her words capture the diversity of the landscape and its ability to both mould and reflect human experience.

UK alt-folk duo Jacob & Drinkwater have been called “stand out new folk” by BBC6 Music and “inventive and thrilling” by R2 Magazine. Tobias ben Jacob‘s sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Lukas Drinkwater‘s nimbly rhythmic double bass; at times sweetly soaring, haunting, percussive and driving, the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil.

Featured numerous times on BBC Radio 2, BBC6 Music and lauded by their musical peers as one of the most accomplished acts touring the circuit today.
