Artist Detailed Info: Tragicomics

Tragicomics are an alt-country collective from the northwest of the UK, and self-professed purveyors of sharply crafted pop songs, sweeping melancholy and doomed romanticism. Since 2017 Tragicomics have been writing, recording and releasing what Drowned in Sound described as ‘widescreen English Americana’.

In 2021 Tragicomics released their second album Book of Want, drawing favourable reviews and comparisons to My Morning Jacket, Wilco and Blitzen Trapper. In October 2022 they released Hopeless Romantic and were featured as UK Artist of the Month by the Vinyl District. Mostly recently in April 2023, they released Stranger Things. Both singles feature artwork by award-winning painter Jude Wainwright,

They have played several gigs around the UK including shows with Chris Stills, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers and The Lone Bellow.

In August 2022 they filmed and recorded a live session at the prestigious Sacred Trinity Church in Salford.

Later that year they hosted and headlined the sold-out event ‘Crossing the County Line’, the first in a series of alt-country showcases in the heart of Manchester.

Tragicomics are Christopher Eatough (vocals, guitar), Toby Cryne (guitar, keys), Laura Morley (violin) and Jay Fearon (drums).
