Since releasing his debut album ‘Little Giant’ to critical acclaim, Roo Panes has racked up in excess of 350 million plays on Spotify and over 28+ million views on Youtube. He has been described by Uncut as a ‘Britfolk pin up’ whose music ‘taps a deep well of folk heritage.’ Q Magazine said Panes finds ‘a positive message in thoughts best left in the dark of night’. A new phase of life and songwriting has taken shape through 2021 and led to a trio of releases including ‘Childhood’, an effortless beauty that stirs feelings of adolescence and family. Swelling with honesty, hope and universal truths, his latest album The Summer Isles has seen a sold out run of shows across the UK and Europe and a set at Glastonbury and The famous Minack Theatre in Cornwall.
In 2024 we saw Roo release a beautiful co-Artist single with Lily Lyons called ‘Vienna’. Roo is currently working on exciting new material and collaborations, which will be dropping soon. His next big show will be at the Barbican Hall on 1st February 2025.
