An alt-rock band is set to play their first-ever show in Falmouth.

The Emerald Dawn, a four-member band known for their unique sound, usually perform in Cornwall only once a year in Penzance.

However, on November 29, the group will stage their debut live performance in Falmouth at The Poly in Church Street.

The Cornwall-based band have played gigs across the UK and received international recognition last year when readers of a major music magazine voted them one of the top 10 bands in the world.

Their latest album, In Time, was also ranked among the top 10 albums of the year.

The Emerald Dawn is known for their "epic, sweeping compositions," which draw influence from rock, classical music, folk, jazz, and world music.

Their live performances are complemented by a highly visual stage show with "stunning" projections.

These video projections, coupled with artwork for each album, are the brainchild of band member Tree Stewart, who said: "Each of our five albums requires two oil paintings, one for the outside and one for the inside.

"All of the inside artworks join together to form one very large painting.

"The paintings also find their way into the videos we project behind us while performing."

Tree Stewart is the band's vocalist and plays keyboards, 12-string acoustic guitar, and flute.

Ally Carter is on electric guitar, tenor and soprano saxophones, and keyboards, while David Greenaway plays six-string fretless and fretted bass guitars.

Tom Jackson is the band's drummer and percussionist.

This year, the band headlined the Soundle Music Festival in Peterborough and performed in various UK locations, including Glasgow and Edinburgh.

In January next year, they will play in Liverpool, Kinross, Carlisle, Leeds, and Northampton, before heading to Germany for the Art Rock Festival.
