We reached out to a few of the many immensly talented individuals that are a part of the Hogarth community to star in the very first Hogarth Live Lounge. Our fabulous line up includes songwriters recently featured on BBC Sounds, a host of West End performers and a whole lot of familiar faces. Here's a little introduction and run down to each of our acts:

ELLIE HARRIS

ELLIE HARRIS is a 20 year old, self taught singer/songwriter and performer from West London. She began writing and composing music from the age of 9, developing a powerful voice with depth and range far beyond her years.

TOMMY STEWART

18 year old Singer/Songwriter Tommy Stewart won the 'Best Demo of the Year' competition in 2019 and performed on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury festival last year. Tommy has also performed at the opening ceremony of 'One Young World' at the Royal Albert Hall and has very recently been featured on Radio 2.

The Radio 2 feature saw Tommy and his brother's touching tribute to their father David Stewart who sadly passed away April last year. David set up British Grove Studios in the early 2000s for Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits and won the Music Producers Guild Award for 'Best Studio' in February 2009.

It was at this studio, with the help of David's colleagues, where Tommy and brother Jake recorded 'Cowboy Song' to celebrate their late father's memory.

Tommy says "one of my earliest memories is of Dad sitting me down and playing me Thin Lizzy, whom he'd worked with in the early 80s. We then used to play 'Cowboy Song' together all the time, on the sofa, or at family celebrations. It sort of became the song that defined his passing; I've always associated it with Dad, but it's nice now that everybody else does too."

Jake and Tommy will be performing 'Cowboy Song' at The Hogarth Live Lounge.

ALICE PISANO

Italian born, London-based Alice Pisano had a bright entrance to the scene in 2018 with her heart-warming debut EP ‘Celebrate Life’. Released with no label or backing, ‘Celebrate Life EP’ picked up immediate editorial support on Spotify (Soft Pop Hits, New Music Friday UK, Mellow Morning etc.), critical acclaim from online tastemakers and support from BBC Introducing and National Dutch Radio, making her a definite talent to watch. The title track ‘Celebrate Life’ has since amassed 3.5 million streams on Spotify.

Latest single ‘Tears Will Set You Free’ - written with Benjamin Francis-Leftwich - was also supported on Spotify with editorial playlist adds and had spins on the National Dutch Radio, entering the iTunes Pop Charts in the Netherlands.

Alice’s uniquely warm, silky vocal and natural ability for writing emotive pop songs has led her to collaborating with Ian Barter (Dermott Kennedy, Izzy Bizu),Troy Miller (Emeli Sandé, Jamie Cullum), Richard Gottehrer (songwriter and founder of The Orchard) and Benjamin Francis Leftwich.
