The Engels Share at The Sugar Club, 8th October 2023, 8:30pm

21:00 The Awards Ceremony

The Engels Share invite you on a journey into an intimate, Irish-influenced folk-rock universe where sweetness and violent feelings are reconciled.

Their name, a nod to the famous expression “The Angels’ Share” evokes not only the invisible, mysterious part that slowly evaporates from whiskey barrels, but also their music, which distills emotions tinged with subtle aromas and complex flavors. The sounds slowly evaporate over the course of the evening, leaving behind touching melodies and lyrics that resonate long after the concert is over.

The Engels Share offers its own compositions as well as rearranged covers (Rory Gallagher, Bob Dylan, Damien Rice, The Beatles, Glen Hansard, etc.).

“If folk music is about depth and delicacy and indie music excels at accessibility and infectiousness, then it is safe to say that Jeremy Engel walks a perfect line between the two camps”

Jeremy Engel

Jeremy Engel releases his debut single “I Don’t Want To Stay” in 2020. The song’s raw emotion serves as the perfect introduction to this new artist’s intimate narrative and adventurous soundscapes.

Mauve Robichez

Mauve has developed a personal sound universe, combining string instruments and electronic sounds, for which she has won several international awards as a composer for film. At the same time, she continues to play live violin with The Engels Share.

Mauve is at your disposal for any collaborative film music projects.
