Scott Lavene
Scott Lavene is coming to The Face Bar in December

Described by The Times as “Baxter Dury’s warped kid brother” and hailed by Louder Than War as “full of poignant, funny and sad songs,” Scott Lavene is one of the UK’s most distinctive modern storytellers.

A singer-songwriter who blends wry humour, raw honesty and a knack for unforgettable hooks, Lavene’s work has earned him praise from Tom Robinson (“a master storyteller”) and Steve Lamacq (“like something Stiff Records would have released in the 70s”).

Born in Essex and shaped by years of wandering – from busking in France to life on a London houseboat – Scott Lavene found his voice after overcoming addiction and mental health struggles, turning his experiences into songs that can make an audience laugh one moment and cry the next.

Scott Lavene’s acclaimed albums Broke and Milk City Sweethearts showcase his sharp, cinematic songwriting: part talking blues, part art-rock, and always brimming with humanity.

Support comes from Baby Maker, one chap with beats and songs, bringing lo-fi charm and infectious rhythms to set the stage.
