Have you heard of The Hiding Place? They are next up in our 'Meet the Artist' series for 'Sounds Like Us' at @brightonfestival as one of our performers 🎶 We are The Hiding Place, a Brighton based acoustic duo consisting of Eve on twelve-string guitar and vocals, and Tali on six-string guitar and vocals. Though we usually play as part of our indie-rock band, we are excited to be performing an acoustic set for this gig. Many of our musical influences are acts from the 60s, like The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Nico, The Stooges, The Rolling Stones, Joan Baez, and François Hardy. These have fed heavily into our own songwriting, and as part of our set, we will be performing some of our originals alongside covers. We love to include interweaving guitar parts in our playing and use frequent vocal harmonies to add a sense of layering in our idiosyncratic polyphonic textures. Book your tickets now to see an exclusive live performance of their work alongside 8 other amazing artists, writers and musicians from across Sussex and Brighton and Hove!
