Serious Child, with My Girl the River

With a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail, Serious Child draws from a wide range of musical styles from folk to pop to bossa nova.

To celebrate the launch of his fourth album, What Lies Beneath, he will be joined by My Girl The River, who guests on the record. This will be the second date of a joint UK tour, where they play on each other’s songs, and typically fall about laughing.

Kris Wilkinson Hughes aka My Girl the River is a Louisiana native who has landed in the UK via a decade performing in Nashville.

With her ‘sugared espresso’ vocals and sharp writing, Kris is funny, warm and feisty with a sackful of hook laden songs. She last played Petworth a couple of years ago with the ARC Songwriters, which was one of our all time favourite Sessions.

Expect to find yourself singing along or quietly listening as you go on a journey of truth, heartache and mystery.
