Chloe Lawrence is a Manchester based, Essex born and Spanish bred singer-songwriter and street musician.   From her bohemian roots in the mountains of Spain, Chloe has been forged in the folk revelations of the 60’s. Her natural wanderlust led her to revelously dance barefoot with her audience at beach parties and juxtaposed this with contemplative intimate sets, where the ethos of her style showcased the classical elements of folk music whilst syngergising it with her own fierce independent modernity.   Chloe began playing on the street regularly in Cardiff, where you could hit Queen Street and be charmed by the vulnerable optimism of her honest story-telling matched by the poetically dynamic intricacies of her voice. Chloe released her independently produced EP 'Cafe' in May 2020, which is available on Spotify, etc and plans to release new music in autumn of this year.
