Immerse yourself in original live music from the region’s most exciting up-and-coming artists. Soundcheck showcases the best emerging talent from Tees Valley and the North East, giving you the chance to discover your new favourite artist.

In this edition of Soundcheck we have four of the best up-and-coming female artists from the North East.

Stockton born Sarah Johnsone and her band have crossed the country, delivering live performances with raucous peaks and piercing, intimate moments. They’ve earned support slots with English Teacher and Prima Queen, and festival appearances at Kendal Calling, Victorious and 110 Above. Sarah Johnsone is solidifying her place as one of the region’s most exciting acts – an opinion shared by BBC Music Introducing in the North East.

Check out the video below of Sarah and her band performing live at The Glasshouse.

Prospect of Power are an alt-rock band combining dense shoegaze textures, dynamic songwriting and powerful live performances. Hand-picked by Sarah herself, the trio balance crushing guitars with melodic hooks and expansive arrangements.

Pen in hand, ribbon in hair, 20 year old singer-songwriter Isabel Maria has been shattering expectations since 2021. The self proclaimed ‘pensive popstar’ pairs contagious melodies and piano-driven production with ineffably personal lyricism, resulting in a sound championed by the likes of BBC Radio 1 and Rolling Stone Espanõl. Hailing from North East England, Isabel’s career had humble beginnings with secret songs written on her grandad’s old Casio. Fast forward ten years, and now she’s embellished her bookshelf with a North East Culture Award, an Alan Hull Award, and a Northern Writers Award, sharing her songs with hundreds of thousands of listeners and performing them across the UK, Spain, and the United States.

North-east based singer/songwriter, Anna Karila, blends lyrical storytelling and bare-bones finger-picked guitar into an americana tinged landscapes. With her debut release ‘Sweet’, she secured her place in the folk/americana scene, solidified by her spot as a BBC Introducing artist.

Every Soundcheck features a carefully curated line-up of artists ready to make their mark, who are subject to change – tickets are booked for the night, not a specific artist.

Soundcheck – here for the music.
