ARC Stockton is continuing to build momentum behind its growing live music series Soundcheck with a huge headline show from one of the region’s most exciting emerging artists, George Bailey, on Thursday 14 May.
Hosted by Nicky Hargreaves of Promoting Local, Soundcheck has quickly established itself as a vital platform for grassroots talent across Tees Valley and the wider North East, creating a space where audiences can discover new artists in an intimate live setting while giving musicians the opportunity to perform on one of the region’s leading cultural stages.
Following strong early response to previous Soundcheck nights and growing word of mouth across the regional music scene, ARC is now preparing for its biggest Soundcheck event to date as George Bailey launches his debut EP Dream alongside a standout regional line-up featuring Nice Guy, Alex Lyons and Jake Diaz.
Bailey returns to perform live in Stockton following a memorable appearance at this year’s Stockton Calling festival, where his powerful set drew strong praise and further cemented his growing reputation as one of the region’s standout emerging artists.
The series forms part of ARC’s wider commitment to championing original live music and nurturing the next wave of artists emerging from the North East, building on the energy and excitement currently surrounding the region’s grassroots scene.
George Bailey has spent more than a decade shaping a sound that fuses electric alt rock, soulful folk and emotionally driven songwriting. Backed by a band known for explosive live performances and raw emotional connection, Bailey’s shows move seamlessly between huge full-band moments and stripped back intimacy.
Joining George Bailey on the bill are Middlesbrough indie favourites Nice Guy, who continue to make waves locally with their alternative indie sound after performances at Stockton Calling and support slots with Avalanche Party.
Opening the evening will be Teesside singer songwriter Alex Lyons, whose heartfelt folk-pop songwriting and rich vocals have seen her support artists including Joe Hammill and Cattle & Cane, while guitarist Jake Diaz and his band bring soaring melodies and blues-soaked indie influences inspired by everyone from Jimi Hendrix to The Stone Roses.
