Welcome to Albert’s Songwriters Showcase! 🎸
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, 8 April, when Albert’s Shed in Shrewsbury comes alive at 8:30 pm for an intimate night of original music – and the best part? Free entry!
First up is Joe Chaplin, a local Shrewsbury talent who’s swapped band front‑man duties for solo storytelling. With guitar‑driven tunes that sit somewhere between the swagger of Arctic Monkeys, the groove of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the anthemic catchiness of Catfish and the Bottlemen, Joe’s songs cut straight to the heart and keep the vibe stripped‑back and honest.
Next, we welcome Eddie “We Were Just Kids” Spugetti. Eddie’s acoustic‑focused material draws from the soulful depths of Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Buckley, Bruce Springsteen and Elliott Smith. Expect heartfelt lyrics and melodies that feel like a warm, late‑night conversation in a dimly lit room.
Rounding out the trio is Pete Winwood, a Midlands‑based indie folk‑rock songwriter. Pete’s set—whether solo or with his backing crew, The Lantern Chorus—balances bright, sing‑along moments with quieter, reflective passages. His songs are built on strong acoustic drive, rhythmic arrangements and storytelling that makes you feel every word.
Come for the music, stay for the community vibe. Bring a friend, grab a drink, and let the three songwriters turn Albert’s Shed into a living, breathing songbook for the night. See you there! 🌟
