Jade Walters at Kings Acoustic Session
Written by admin on August 8, 2012
We’re approaching half way through the Kings Summer Acoustic Music series. This Saturday night (12th August) features Jade Walters, from Dumfries, supported by Forgetting Jane, also from Dumfries.
Kings manager, Helen Smith commented, “We’ve enjoyed DeeDee Ray, Dave Bass and Zoë Bestel (along with friends they brought to support them), so now we look forward to building on that success, with Jade. Every night the atmosphere has been so nice – people hanging out together in a coffee shop on a Saturday night – and we’ve had lots of great appreciative comments from the crowds who have turned up.”
Jade’s not one to boast about her music, but her talent pushes her forward. “Music is something I just flow with and take it as it comes. My own songs, and the covers I sing all have a deep down meaning to me. I hope to express that on the night.”
One of Jade’s major influences is Johnny Cash. After watching his film, she was hooked; she picked up a guitar and just did what felt right. She has a single on Itunes which was released in March, called ‘Words in the Rainbow Wave’, which propelled her forward.
Forgetting Jane, her support act, comprises young Chris Edgar, from Dumfries and he’s popping in to support Jade en route to his gig in The Venue at 10pm the same evening.
The event in Kings Coffee and Books (next to Burtons/Dorothy Perkins) in Dumfries town centre, runs from 7.30pm till about 10pm on Saturday 12th August. There’s no charge, but people are encouraged to give into the ‘Busker’s bucket’ for the artists, if they like what they hear!
