On 13 May Strode College music students will be releasing a collaborative 18-track album, consisting of a diverse range of musical genres such as Indie, Folk and Alt Rock. It features a powerful and passionate performance from Alfie Galpin – Strode’s Music Student Award winner 2022, Jorja Lashly with her ethereal voice and contemplative style, Jake McSweeney presents an emotional and delicate duet, and Josh Evans appears with his upbeat but gentle 80’s retro style.

“Students are choosing Strode as we are an outward-facing department that takes our musicians’ and producer’s careers and music seriously. We are part of a lively music scene hub in the heart of Somerset with many partners and venues in our local area that supports StrodeLive.”

Specific tracks from the album are given on the link below, along with individual links to all musicians' Instagram accounts to follow, explore, and stay up to date with the bands/artists' current or future music. The project will be ready for digital streaming on Spotify and Apple Music platforms on the 13 May. Students are open for interviews please contact Daniel Shaw.
