April Moon / Ma Polaine
About
April Moonhttps://aprilmoonband.com/
APRIL MOON’s fun, whimsical songwriting style fuses genres, weaving effortlessly from alt-country and Americana to folksy blues, rock and pop although their new EP, Forgiveness Juice definitely leans towards the sounds of their more rootsy upbringing. Following up on their self-released full album The Other One Was You, the duo worked in a Liverpool studio with a funding grant to record the new music and gain the support of radio programs such as BBC Introducing and Countryline Homegrown. Forgiveness Juice was rolled out with a headline ‘Americana all-dayer’ show at Future Yard in Birkenhead and followed by an extended tour that is taking the duo across the UK, Europe and Canada.

With influences in blues, jazz and country Ma Polaine have drawn comparisons with many, with references to Billie Holiday, Tom Waits and a “moody Mary Margaret O’Hara”, yet Ma Polaine’s sound is very much their own. Beth’s distinctive, emotive vocals coupled with her evocative lyrics create a compelling mix of abstract tales, dark humour and raw beauty, whilst Clinton’s understated guitar style supports with rich chords and gritty riffs.He is also the founder of the Tiveden Americana Songwriting Camp & Festival in Sweden, an international creative exchange connecting artists and industry professionals from around the world.
