Brooke Bentham has been announced to support Soccer Mommy’s UK tour, which comes to Manchester’s Deaf Institute in September.
The announcement comes as Brooke Bentham prepares to release new material.
Aged just twenty-two, Brooke Bentham’s music nonetheless carries the weight of someone who’s lived a hundred lives already. She was born and raised – in large, part, fending for herself with three older brothers – in Southshields (just outside Newcastle), before relocating to New Cross to study at Goldsmith’s. Here she at last felt part of a wider arts community, forming her live band and finding a mutual sense of camaraderie among a new generation of South London creatives.
Brooke graduated just last year, and released her acclaimed debut EP The Room Swayed – an at times-brutally honest dissection of relationships – forming the backdrop to her final year. Lead tracks such as Heavy & Ephemeral and I Need Your Body garnered significant radio support as did follow-up EP This Rapture.
