About

Joe Wilkins - 'Happy Here' Release Show Indie-folk artist Joe Wilkins celebrates the release of his sophomore EP, Happy Here, with his first-ever London headline show. Joined by a full band at the iconic Paper Dress Vintage. **Joe Wilkins** Combining a unique blend of genres that stretch from Jazz to Folk, exciting London based Indie-folk artist Joe Wilkins utalises his wide range of influences to provide a sentimental and melancholic feel to his music. On the cusp of releasing his sophomore EP ‘Happy Here’, Wilkins aims to create a sound that’s equally infectious as it is diverse, weaving sophisticated and nuanced narratives within his compelling framework of playful melodies that’s become so synonymous with his music. Written, recorded and produced from a small home studio and mixed by Danny Monk (Flyte), his latest single ‘Deep Sea’ encapsulates the nostalgic tension of early adulthood, moving through growth, reflection and emotional resilience. It has been met with support from both BBC Introducing’s Adam Walton and BBC Radio Wales’s Bethan Elfyn, further developing his journey as a songwriter and exciting live performer. **Olivia Khoury** Born and raised in Montreal, Olivia Khoury is a singer-songwriter and interdisciplinary artist who found her voice somewhere between dance and music. Her sound, shaped by dreams and travels, blends indie-folk, alt-pop, and jazz influences into her own luminous, hybrid universe. Inspired by Feist, Lianne La Havas, and Jordan Rakei, she combines vulnerability, authenticity, and groove. Her jazz influences shine through the band’s interplay on stage, where instruments and vocals interact to make each performance unique. Olivia won Jazz EP of the Year at the 2023 GAMIQ Awards for her bilingual debut EP, Portraits. Building on this momentum, she has been honing her sound with rising support from the industry, including being selected as a mentee for the SOCAN TD Incubator. Saving Face and Fall Forward are both part of her upcoming EP, set for release in 2026.
