ThursdaySounds like Peri Benjamin & Tricia Collins
Whimsical yet daring, Peri’s deft ability behind the piano lends her somehow mystical songs and improvised compositions a weight reserved usually for the greats of the jazz world. Declaring, „Write anything, and I’ll sing it“ and plunking the pulse of now. Raised in the far reaches of San Francisco’s wild west, Peri’s music has a strong root in folk rock n roll music. A virtuoso vocal presence and multi-instrumentalism promises a well rounded and harmonically complex concert. She still believes in the poetic gesture and hopes this will suffice.
Tricia Collins is an Irish singer-songwriter based between Ireland and Berlin, known for her captivating vocals, intricate finger-picking and the delicate pull of her live performances. Drawing from Irish folk and Americana traditions, her songwriting blends these influences with a contemporary sensibility, shaped by humour, warmth and an instinctive gift for storytelling. With a disarming stage presence and a quirky sensibility, she draws audiences in through songs that balance intimacy with fun, often moving effortlessly between moments of lightness and reflection. Collins has performed widely across Ireland and Germany, with notable appearances including Cambridge Folk Festival, where she was awarded prize money for her performance contributing to the creation of her debut album. Her performances are recognised for their ability to hold space — combining delicate arrangements with confident musicianship and a strong connection to the audience.
