Fresh music from Ali Gilbert

At 18, UK-based Ali Gilbert started performing live and has gone from strength to strength. The release of his debut EP, Truth be Told, received high praise, recognised by local press and radio, including BBC Introducing. Following this, he reached national finals in both the Open Mic UK and Soundwaves Music Competitions.

It was here that he caught the eye of promoters within the Academy Music Group (AMG), these led to performances at esteemed venues, such as Café 1001 London, The Sunflower Lounge, 02 Academy in Birmingham (a sell-out show, no less). His band of loyal followers continue to appreciate his warm folk-pop tunes, along with his low, mellifluous vocals.

In his most recent project, the song tells the tale of a fictional character who is trapped within confessing all his sins to seek redemption in what he believes to be his last opportunity for forgiveness. The song, “Run By the River”, has a catchy feel to it, likely to become an ear-worm that you just can’t shake. With an upbeat nature, it fills you with motivation and adds a spring in your step. Ali comments that, “this is the most creative project I have composed and performed in my career as a songwriter, and one that I am very proud of.” Rightly so!
