Manchester gigs of the week FT The Mouse Outfit, Umarells and more

London-based rising soul star, Olive Jones, will be gracing Band on the Wall’s The Copper Bar this Monday to share her sumptuous melody-driven music with Manchester.

The singer-songwriter and guitarist will be drawing on soul, blues and alt-folk while showcasing her signature honey-drenched vocals with lyrics that will stay with you long after you’ve left.

Chicago-hailing singer, Ravyn Lenae, will be taking to the stage at Gorilla this Tuesday following the release of her sophomore album, Bird’s Eye.

Executive produced by GRAMMY winner Dahi, the new album now finds the singer-songwriter nestled within her memories of home, and freely intertwining her vocals with lush pop, indie, reggae, jazz and rock-oriented productions.

The Mouse Outfit come to The Blues Kitchen for their only Manchester tour date of the year on Thursday.

A defining force in UK hip hop, they’ve spent over a decade releasing standout tracks and working with more than 100 artists, all while keeping true to their independent spirit and signature sound.

Swing by Chapel Street’s Sacred Trinity Church this Friday to catch Umarells at their Manchester headline debut alongside special guests Kitty and Severe Girls.

Celebrating the release of their brand-new EP One More Day which came out earlier this month, this proudly Northern five-piece offers sweet synth sounds likened to ‘the UK’s answer to Crumb’.

End your week in Northern Quarter stalwart, Gullivers, to catch Dilettante in their first full-band Manchester show in over a year.

After multiple sell-out shows, Dilettante has returned to play songs from upcoming record Life of The Party with listeners being able to look forward to a genre-hopping loop-fest, featuring everything from fuzzy guitar licks to 5-part saxophone harmonies.
