An English singer whose music has been backed by the likes of Elton John is set to bring her "sumptuous melody-driven music" to Glasgow.

Dorest-born Olive Jones recently released her new single ‘Kingdom’ from her upcoming album 'For Mary', and will take to the Poetry Club stage at SWG3 in April.

Racking up an impressive 3.3million listeners a month on Spotify, she draws on soul, blues and alt-folk to create her music; listeners can expect "groove-led tunes with honey-drenched vocals."

She says that growing up singing along to the records of jazz greats and soul icons, the voice and its ability to captivate and evoke emotion have always been at the forefront of her musical passion.

Announcing the show, Gigs in Scotland said: "Olive has a unique way of making us feel heard through her music.

"Her gorgeous soul and blues-influenced sound - coupled with her stunning voice, draws you into her world - as though she’s singing for you and you alone.

"Don’t miss your chance to catch this songstress at the forefront of a British soul renaissance."
