BC Camplight live at St Nick's, Beverley
About this Event
BC Camplight (Brian Christinzio) has long been considered one of independent music's most forward-thinking artists and one of the UK's must-see live performers. His story is one of redemption and resilience.
After having established himself as a force in the East Coast US scene as a collaborator and studio pianist (The War On Drugs, Sharon Van Etten) Christinzio suffered several episodes of poor mental health, became homeless, and struggled with addiction. He relocated to Manchester, UK in 2013 to reclaim his identity and forge his path as an artist.However, he was deported and banned from the UK in 2015 following a serious injury that left him unable to leave the country in time to renew his visa.
What BC Camplight has achieved since returning to Manchester - now as an Italian citizen - is nothing short of inspiring. Five records in ten years for his label Bella Union, appearances on Jools Holland, and growing a sizeable and fanatical live audience.
His last two records "The Last Rotation of Earth" (his first Top 40 release) and "A Sober Conversation" were deemed masterpieces by The Guardian and The Sunday Times respectively.While critics praise his raw, often laugh-out loud lyrics, and high concept genre-defying compositions; fans rush to his shows for his bombastic blend of high energy performance, stand-up comedy, and other-worldly musicianship.
His most recent tour saw him performing his biggest shows ever including Manchester's O2 Apollo and The Roundhouse in London.BC Camplight is an artist heading towards the peak of his powers and this is a can't miss intimate experience".
