Sailing Stones at Gullivers with Jo Rose and Megan Dixon Hood

Debbie Manley | 7th March 2018

After airplay from such as Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music, Sailing Stones is coming to Gullivers, Oldham Street, Manchester, on Thursday 8 March.

Sailing Stones, is the musical moniker for Jenny Lindfors, a half Irish, half Swedish singer/songwriter, now based in Bristol and named after the sailing stones of Death Valley in California  – rocks that move across landmasses at a snails pace, seemingly of their own accord.

Following her previous singles The Blazing Sun and Telescopes, Jenny has now released her new EP ‘She’s A Rose’ and will be playing some live shows across the UK in March to mark the release.

As well as classic soundtrack influences from the likes of Blade Runner and Paris, Texas and heroes such as Neil Young and Fleetwood Mac, there’s also some deft synth work, intricate vocal layers and glacial tones that aren’t a million miles away from the work of modern trailblazers such as Colleen and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, and post soul, jazz infused melodies and wind accompaniments that recall tUne-yArds.

Support comes from Jo Rose and Megan Dixon Hood
