Indie folk’s great collaborator finds another gear in London with songs from his fifth record.
Folk rock storyteller Christian Lee Hutson visits London for the third year running to promote Paradise Pop. 10, his fifth solo record in a career full of collaboration. Taking the stage at Lafayette, the second London venue from Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons, Hutson and his band give us a set that is at times piercing, witty, romantic and disaffected but always engaging.
Following on from the success of 2020’s Beginners and 2022’s Quitters, records effectively toured as one release after pandemic restrictions were lifted, Hutson has something new to show us. Born in Kansas but long associated with LA, Hutson is now based in New York, all the better to work with longtime producer Phoebe Bridgers and partner Maya Hawke, who contributes vocals and co-writing duties to Paradise.
