Lissie Maurus’ star is on the rise in the US, and she can expect to bolster her UK fanbase too after a couple of London gigs in early February. Simply known as Lissie, she has a haunting sound: sometimes a rocked-up country/folk and sometimes a very graceful girl-and-guitar set-up, all complete with quirky vocal tics and moments of haunting candour. With her waterfall-pure voice, Lissie’s all set for success.
The gigs in question are a Jazz Cafe show (now sold out) as part of the Next Big Thing festival, and a BBC Introducing gig at The Social on Tuesday 9 February, about which the internet or The Social’s website can currently provide no details whatsoever.
