HOTLY-tipped band, Emily and The Woods head to Cornwall in May for a rare handful of gigs.

Emily and The Woods are a London-based band fronted |by singer and guitar player Emily Wood, with her brother Benedict Wood on guitar, Dave Bush on drums and bass player Sam Brown.

Developing in a way that far removes the band from the previously labelled ‘singer-songwriter’ tag, Emily and The Woods’ newly honed sound blends luscious vocals with subtle electronic |touches.

Wood’s pensive tone is at the heart of the music, backed by pounding drums, dark and driving bass-lines and shimmering guitars.

The band will be playing a |number of free shows at The Nightjar, Truro on May 22, the Watering Hole, Perranporth on May 23 and at the The Gylly Beach Café, Falmouth on Sunday, May 25.
