Welshpool singer-songwriter to release EP Friday

 
17/09/2024 @ 10:02

 

Welshpool’s indie singer-songwriter Sally Crosby is releasing her third EP this Friday, with a five-track offering set to be available across all the usual streaming platforms.

Sally is a ukulele, piano and acoustic guitar-based singer-songwriter, whose songs have been described as “honest and raw, impassioned and emotive”.

She started out in music at just five years old learning the piano, a few years later and she had taken up the violin and the clarinet.

Going on to study music and creative writing at university she found herself spreading her time between playing the violin in orchestras and with folk-rock band The Rambling Pilgrims, touring across the North Wales coast and Anglesey. Fresh out of graduation saw a new lease of life for Sally, who turned to writing for herself, mostly for piano and for acoustic guitar, an instrument she learnt as a teenager.

In 2013 her first single emerged and in summer 2014 she appeared on the festival scene with a packed-out schedule of dates across England and Wales including Wakestock Festival alongside Tom Odell, Frank Turner and John Newman, and FOCUS Wales, a festival with a focus on promoting young Welsh talent which she played three years running.

This Friday’s third EP release follows her ‘Bucket of Leaves EP’ in 2014, which saw the track ‘Comet’ receiving airplay on BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Shropshire.

‘All I Seem to Know How to Do Is Write Songs About You’ was released in April 2017 and is heavily ukulele based.

Some tracks from her upcoming EP are already available to hear through https://www.soundcloud.com/sally-crosby with the full offering available from Friday through Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and many more.
