A gig held at The Louisiana on Wednesday 22nd January. The event starts at 20:00.
Leo Hall + Maxx Sloan + Benji Miller live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Wednesday, 22nd January 2025
In 2022, when a seventeen-year-old Leo told his family and friends that he was going to get up onstage at one of the upcoming Wembley Stadium shows of his favourite band, Coldplay, and play with them, nobody could foresee that a few months later he would do just that. Since that moment, he’s been aspiring to get back on that stage - but this time with his own songs.
Originally from North London and currently a student at BIMM Bristol, Leo is gaining a reputation as an artist to watch out for. With soulful, sophisticated ballads and a full band with a modern twist on an upbeat 70s/80s vibe, he puts on a show that will have you both dancing around to energetic tunes and hit in the feels by more introspective songs.
Taking influence from the catchy melodies of the likes of Bruno Mars, along with the clever lyrics and emotive nature of the works of FINNEAS and Lizzy McAlpine, the 19 year old released his second single, Strawberry Sun, on the 7th June. Written and recorded entirely in his university dorm room, this is a catchy and dream-like song, capturing in its own way the soulful feel of the works of Etta James and Teddy Swims.
Leo plans to release a run of singles and play more shows in 2025, with the next gig being at the Louisiana in Bristol on the 22nd January.

The success story of Maxx began in 1993 with the huge success of the single "Get-A-Way" and the follow-up smash hit "No More (I Can't stand it) which catapulted the dance project further up
in the Europe-wide charts.
They were permanent guests in all hot charts shows of the 90s such as "Top of the Pops", "Bravo TV" and "Dance Machine" and belonged to the line-up
at all major festivals.
Driven by the success, they released the album "To The Maxximum" in 1994 and immediately released another hit with the next single "You can get it". This was followed by the Christmas single "Power of love," and the singles "I Can Make You Feel Like" and "Move your Body."
20 years after the huge success Maxx continues with the original singer Linda Meek. The hit machine is running again and the dance project ensures again
the 90s fever.
