Acantha Lang

“Acantha Lang is brilliant….an independent artist destined for world domination.” Craig Charles – BBC 6 Music

“I absolutely love Acantha’s sweet, soulful voice.” Jools Holland

Born in New Orleans, Southern soul songstress Acantha Lang was raised on a heady diet of Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples, Al Green and Bill Withers. Having established herself in New York, she relocated to London and became one of the most talked about artists to emerge in years.

After making her U.S television debut singing live on the prestigious CBS Sunday Morning show, she performed at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, as well as a string of major venues throughout Europe. She quickly built up a fiercely loyal fanbase on both sides of the pond after the recent release of her critically acclaimed debut album, Beautiful Dreams, which reached the top of The Official Jazz & Blues Albums Chart and has amassed over 2.5 million streams on Spotify.

For this special Snug Sessions show, Acantha and her drum-tight band will be playing songs from her debut LP alongside some of her favourite soul and funk classics.
