Dynamic indie-folk twosome Zoe Konez & drummer Will Connor create a wealth of sound with two instruments that many bands long to create with 5!
Zoe’s intimate lyrics are married with distinctive rhythmic guitar, experimental tapping, intricate finger picking and harmonic techniques, wonderfully accompanied by Will’s ‘telepathic tightness’ on drums / percussion.
They’ve taken their music throughout the UK, via numerous tours in Europe, to the sunny south east coast of Australia and back again.
Throughout their career, they have garnered much praise from many corners and continue to impress wherever they perform! 2016 marks the release of their new EP, which will be launched at 'We Love Spring 2016' in St Giles in the Fields Church on Fri 18th March 2016.
