The Glasshouse

Textural. Ethereal. Future alt-pop’s in safe hands.

Jodie Nicholson, a North East-based writer, producer and Summer Studios 2023 artist, plays her first Glasshouse International Centre for Music headliner with a full band where she’ll be launching her sophomore album Safe Hands.

Safe Hands mixes melancholy and euphoria, and is ultimately an album about self-trust. Nicholson self-produced the album and enlisted key collaborators: Oli Deakin (CMAT, Eleanor Moss, Benjamin Francis Leftwich) mixed and Katie Tavini (Arlo Parks, Liz Lawrence, Sega Bodega) mastered. Nicholson’s signature rich harmonies and ethereal, reed-like vocals remain a constant.

When Nicholson released her debut album Golden Hour (2019) she viewed it as closure, archiving the songs locals from Darlington, her hometown, enjoyed seeing live. However, industry interest from the likes of BBC Introducing encouraged her to continue and led to airplay across BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 2.

Her live performance highlights to-date include playing the main stage of Wilderness Festival – warming up for Jamie XX and Bicep, plus she’s shared stages at sold-out shows with Emeli Sandé, Tom Rosenthal, Bernard Butler, Nerina Pallot, The Howl & The Hum, and Skinny Living.
