Holly Henderson + Krow Tao
Krow Tao + Holly Henderson
Holly Henderson is a 29 year old composer, songwriter, award winning producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Maidstone, Kent. She performs her haunting and gregarious take on ‘Baroque Pop/Rock’ with an immersive and dynamic band, that both record, and play live together.
Her music lies somewhere between a newly crafted area of The Beatles and PJ Harvey, if they existed in the charming, flamboyant core of 70s British singer songwriting. It encompasses her unique persona as an avant garde virtuoso guitarist, with layers of piano, bells, flutes, harpsichord, Paul McCartney-esque meandering bass lines, Holly's classic, rich voice along with relentlessly melodic harmonies and whimsical arrangements of original compositions will throw you both back in time, and into the future.
Krow Tao is a blend of genre defying songs, syncopated shifting phrases rhythms and riffs, which build and flow around multi-layered musical settings. The latest incarnation of songwriter, guitarist and singer Michael Crowther, formerly of psych-folk-rock band Son of Kirk. Michael has been exploring new ways to create music as a solo artist, writing new material, experimenting with loop pedals and effects and drawing from a wide range of influences such as psychedelic, prog and post rock, folk, fusion, trip hop, ambient, trance and world music. From October 2024 Krow Tao is a duo, with the addition of Paddy Horan on drums. Krow Tao has recently opened shows for Soft Machine and Sahra Halgan.
