Brudenell Piano Sessions

For our summer show this year, we are taking Brudenell Piano Sessions on the road again, this time marking the occasion with a visit to The Attic on Sheaf Street in the city centre. As always, expect a typically varied and captivating evening of live music centred around the piano, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It’s piano music; for everyone.
Carving out her own space in the pop landscape, Lois has quickly established herself as an important rising
voice amongst the next wave of Northern artists. With a lyrical eye for the experiences that often go
unspoken, the Leeds-based songwriter blends elements of pop, soul and alternative rock with emotionally
resonant storytelling. Now entering a new era in her journey as an independent artist, the rollout for Lois’
sophomore EP begins with lead single ‘MINE’. Fresh from a set at BBC Introducing Live at The Grand, it
channels the infectious live energy that has already gained supports alongside The Lottery Winners and Etta
Marcus, a sold-out headline at Hyde Park Book Club and slots at Live At Leeds and Liverpool Sound City.
Arriving almost two years after her debut EP Strange Men, which gained appraise from Radio 1 and BBC
Introducing, as well as Wonderland, Clash, Notion, and EARMILK, Lois’ next chapter is proving to be an
exciting one.
Keano Ritchie is Bradford-based classical and jazz pianist, with a passion for both genres. His journey with
the piano began at the tender age of six when he first discovered the magic of music. During the pandemic,
he immersed himself in learning blues for an entire year. This enriching experience was a crucial foundation
that opened the door to exploring diverse musical styles. Following the blues, he became captivated by the
free expression of jazz, which eventually led to shifting focus towards classical music. Despite not following a
traditional path in classical training, his unique "hybrid" approach to learning has allowed Keano to cultivate a
distinctive style, demonstrating a unique flexibility at the instrument. He will be studying here in Leeds in
September.
Tom Rogerson is a pianist, keyboardist and composer based in Suffolk. He released his debut solo album
Retreat To Bliss in March 2022 on Western Vinyl records. Tom studied composition at the Royal Academy of
Music before moving to New York City, where he recorded his first album with Reid Anderson (Bad Plus) and
Mike Lewis (Happy Apple, Bon Iver), which was entirely improvised. On returning to London, he set up an
improvisation group that became the basis for electronic-rock group Three Trapped Tigers. TTT released
several highly acclaimed albums between 2008 and 2016 and toured the world with Deftones, Dillinger
Escape Plan, and 65 Days of Static. They also collaborated with Brian Eno, Karl Hyde (Underworld) and
Stale Storlokken (Supersilent), gaining a reputation for their intense live performances.
Join host & curator Simeon Walker for a celebration of good music, good people and good times, gathered
