Acclaimed musician, poet, and artist Jo Beth Young returns to Totnes - bringing songs, stories and visuals to navigate the dance of human experience for a show of music and collective healing.  She will play at the historic venue of St Mary’s Church on Saturday 14th October.

Formerly known as Talitha Rise and RISE, Jo Beth is known for her ethereal vocals and mesmeric music which has won her awards internationally and led to her last two shows in the town selling out. 

Writing from a place of raw authenticity, her poetic world comes armed with lullabies and battle cries interwoven. At times heartbreaking, but always hopeful and inspiring in the end. Her live shows are known to bring deep, emotional magic to the audience, capturing the attention of the national press who have described her live shows as "unmissable" and “exquisite”. Latest single, Wolf Song has been released ahead of her tour of the UK and Ireland.  The song has been taken from her upcoming album Broken Spells.

The Shadow Navigation Show brings a new, beautifully-crafted, live experience created with acclaimed musician Serious Child. Aligned with spiritually charged storytelling, hypnotic original songs with an atmospheric film and visual backdrop - this promises to be an unforgettable night with acclaimed musician cellist Ben Roberts joining her on stage.  Special guest will be the much lauded singer-songwriter Ed Gild.

Serious Child

The show also features Serious Child (songwriter and roots musician Alan Young). Serious Child draws from a wide range of acoustic musical influences from folk to pop to bossa nova to explore the world around us with a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail. His album with Andy Ruddy, Talk About The Weather, was shortlisted for Fatea Album of the Year 2021.

Edward Gild

From deep within the misty hills, rolling and green, comes the music of Edward Gild. With beautifully crafted songs, augmented by his unfeigned vocals, Gild's music is profound and delicate.
