Jumping off from a sonic springboard of Afrofuturism, grime and future soul, all fused together with the fearless spontaneity of jazz, Steam Down are one of the most exciting acts coming out of the UK jazz scene.

A collective comprised of talented young artists Ahnanse, Alex Rita, Brother Portrait, Sawa Manga, Theon Cross, Nadeem, Benjamin Appiah, Dominic Canning and Nache, they come together weekly for live performances where healing vibes and exuberant dancing are just as important as the music. Previous sessions have included guest appearances from Kamasi Washington, Sampa The Great, Nubya Garcia, members of Ezra Collective, SEED Ensemble and Sons of Kemet.

Striving to create an immersive experience, Steam Down's shows are aural explorations of past, present and future, complemented by the co-creative energy of the audience.

Tickets for Steam Down at The Grand Social on May 12th cost €13.50 and are available now from Ticketmaster.
