Jjerome87: Live + Signing

Jjerome87 is performing live and signing copies of his new solo album at Resident Music on Thursday 9 July 2026. This event marks a shift for Joe Newman, the lead singer of alt-J, as he steps out with his own project. While he is well-known for his work with the band, including their 2022 album The Dream, this new material, titled The Canyon, represents a distinct departure in sound. According to the official description, the record retains Newman’s recognisable vocal style but introduces a different musical palette, drawing on influences from Motown, Blues, Gospel, and pop from the West Coast to create a warmer, more refreshed energy.

For those interested in seeing how these new textures translate to a live setting, the event is hosted at the shop on Kensington Gardens. It is a structured session, running from 18:30 to 20:30, which allows time for both the performance and the signing. The setup is designed to give fans a chance to engage with the new work directly in the space where the music is sold.

Access to the event is ticketed, with prices ranging from £14.99 to £27.99. The organisers have specified that priority entry is reserved for those who purchase the album alongside their instore access ticket. If the shop’s capacity allows for it, additional attendees will be admitted on the day of the event. It is a straightforward opportunity to hear the new tracks and meet the artist at Resident Music, located at 28 Kensington Gardens, Brighton, BN1 4AL.
