We’re excited to welcome Michele Stodart to The Bear Club for the first time. Michele is a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who was recently announced as the winner of the Americana UK award for UK Artist of the Year and UK Album of the Year 2024.
Born in the Caribbean and raised in Queens, New York, she is now based in London. She is perhaps best known as the bassist, vocalist, and co-songwriter of the Mercury-nominated, double-platinum-selling band, The Magic Numbers, who have released five critically acclaimed studio albums with top-ten singles and have supported the likes of Neil Young, Radiohead, Brian Wilson, U2, Flaming Lips, and Bright Eyes. She continues to play with the band and tours worldwide with them.
Playing for us with her own band, Michele’s sound nurtures a love for country, jazz, and Americana influences. She has released three solo albums of her own songs, and her most recent release, Invitation, is a confessional, melodic album with an orchestral, cinematic feel, which has received outstanding critical acclaim.
Featuring Michele Stodart (acoustic guitar, vocals), David Ford (bass, electric guitar, backing vocals), Andy Bruce (keys, backing vocals), and Emma Holbrook (drums).
“Steeped in languid melancholy... she sits in a rich tradition that encompasses such touchstone female performers as Karen Dalton, Judee Sill, Emmylou Harris or Gillian Welch”
“Michele Stodart’s new album is a thing of perfection... a highly personal album that emerges as one of strength, acceptance, resilience and ultimately hope”
“Remarkable”
