The Stables Sessions: Joe Bygraves

FREE event Saturday 22 July 2023

Joe Bygraves is a 27 year old singer-songwriter from Bedfordshire. His soft guitar and singable lyrics have made him a rising star on the local music scene. Joe has opened for Paloma Faith, Jools Holland and Ronan Keating at summer concerts, playing to crowds of thousands.

In 2020, when the UK’s venues were shuttered, Joe was selected to write and perform the official campaign anthem of the #WeMakeEvents movement, ‘Stand As One’. Joe worked tirelessly to represent the plight of the music and entertainment industry during the coronavirus pandemic. Culminating in a riverboat concert alongside Frank Turner and Mark King (of hit 80s band Level 42), the campaign was a wild ride for Joe, with ‘Stand As One’ mixed at the famous Abbey Road studios, and accompanying music video shot at Camden’s legendary Roundhouse.

Joe's new single, ‘Someone Else’ combines anthemic guitar and soaring vocals to create a moody but memorable ballad. The track has already bagged preview airtime on BBC Introducing East and Amazing Radio.
