In 2021, Gabriels announced their arrival with the loose-limbed vintage soul jam of Love and Hate in a Different Time , an instant and timeless stone-cold classic that introduced a band formed of supremely talented parts and which generated a whirlwind of ecstatic reviews.
It’s easy to focus on singer Jacob Lusk’s astonishing gospel voice, elegant stage presence and showman charisma. He has a startling capacity to shift from whispering sweet nothings to unleashing a fever rush falsetto a beat later. But there’s so much more going on in this band, with delicious orchestrated arrangements, soaring melodies plus unexpected twists and turns.
Having completed their sold out UK tour, a US Harry Styles tour support and a run of summer festival slots (including Glastonbury), two acclaimed EPs deep and hot off the back of the release of Part 1 of their debut album Angels & Queens in September 2022, Gabriels are barely out of second gear.
This year has begun with just as much rich promise; shortlisted on the BBC Radio 1 Sound of 2023 Poll, a Brit Award nomination for Best International Group and the second, highly anticipated instalment of their debut album due for release in June.
Gabriels are without a doubt one of the hottest tickets on the live circuit and sure to be a standout Summer Series headliner.
