ABOUT SUGARCANE

Sugarcane fuses British indie songwriting with the Brazilian rhythms that have fascinated main man Robin French since his early teens in Birmingham, UK.

Robin is the former bassist of Mr. Hudson & the Library, who played Jools Holland and supported Amy Winehouse, The Police and Kanye West.

BAFTA award-winning actor Antonia Thomas (Misfits, Lovesick, The Good Doctor, Small Axe) is a regular guest contributor on vocal duties.

After leaving the Library, Robin got his bass stolen while travelling in South America, but came back bewitched by bossa nova guitar playing. Songs came to him that combined bookish indie sensibilities, blissed-out samba grooves and his own Caribbean heritage.

Following the release of their acclaimed debut album “Cat’s Eyes”, Sugarcane are playing live in London again, featuring Robin French (vocals, guitar), Xande Oliveira (drums), Claire Niestyo-Bame (steel pan, backing vocals, melodica), Molly Graham (vocals, keyboards, melodica), Chris Hyde Harrision (double bass) and Iggi Alves (guitar, cavaquinho).
