Lowes

The BBC Radio 1 Dance Vocalist of 2021 Award topped off a year that saw the Lancaster folk pop trio - featuring vocalist Evie Plumb from Kendal, and Jamie Walker and Luke Paget from Lancaster - rack up over 20 million streams, gain hundreds of spins on BBC Radio 1 including 3 x A lists and 4 x Hottest Records in the World, and blow the roof off the Dance Tent at Reading and Leeds festival with an explosive and memorable performance.

The band are now one of the most sought-after artists in the UK - featuring on tracks by CamelPhat, Sigma, KC Lights, and Franky Wah, among others. Their own sound is forged in their love of powerful pop, expansive strings, explosive percussion, and dynamic roller-coasters that leave your heart in your mouth.

Hailing from rural North West England and each with a lifetime of musical experience, having all been immersed in music since a very young age, the band meets up in-house to write, record, and self-produce their own work. Evie’s powerful vocal, combined with the brilliant song-writing ability, and production prowess of Luke and Jamie make for a euphoric and exciting prospect.

Gladly peppered with a note of sarcasm, a dose of cynicism, or at best a tint of darkness, LOWES’ music and lyrics often reflect darker ideas and honest fears. Maybe it's this authentic reflection of life, this truth, that makes LOWES and their sound so special.
