Taking to the stage in Camden, Nashville-based singer-songwriter and Gen Z crooner Stephen Sanchez called last night’s gig his “first proper show in London.” Technically, that’s not quite true, but it’s certainly his biggest to date. Last June, he headlined London Bridge’s intimate venue Omeara, performing for around 320 punters. But that was a week before Glastonbury changed everything. On the final day of the festival, he was among a handful of special guests invited on stage with Elton John at his last ever UK show –arguably the moment that propelled him to the mainstream.
With a growing fanbase, (Sanchez boasts an almighty 2.2 million TikTok followers, along with 1.4 million instagram followers) the jump to the far bigger Koko, and a higher production value to match, only makes sense. Plus, he now has a full debut album, Angel Face, to play.
