Kindred the Family Soul & Conya Doss live in London

2 December at 19:00–22:30

Two stunning artists, one highly anticipated show.

Husband and wife Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon seemingly came out of nowhere in 2003 to release what was likely the most critically acclaimed soul album of that year, Surrender to Love, under their name Kindred the Family Soul. Sounding something like an updated Womack and Womack but with the underlying joyousness of Ashford & Simpson, the duo was a breath of fresh air as they sang of their deep love for each other and their family, even while acknowledging the challenging, often monotonous existence of daily life.
Following their smash hit “Far Away,” equally great anticipation arose for their follow-up album, In This Life Together, inspired by and named after the autobiography of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. The disc was released in October 2005. They followed with the excellent The Arrival, 2011’s Love Has No Recession and 2014’s A Couple Friends, solidifying their position as the voice of a generation of music fans working to keep relationships, family and romantic love alive. The group’s sixth studio album Legacy of love was released in Aug 2016 to critical acclaim and work is currently in progress for album no 7.

Conya Doss

Conya Doss has a voice that sounds like it’s both from the past and future. She is classical-influenced, blues-influenced, R&B-influenced and rock-influenced, which herein lies the brilliance of how she collectively and seamlessly creates great music.
All of Doss’ album titles are authentically steeped in the spirit of growth and change. The Album VII was released on 19th May 2015. New single “I’m trying” is out now, giving an insightful appetiser into the highly anticipated eigth studio album set for release Summer 2018.
