WHAT IS ERA?
​
​
​
From the team behind Soul Brother, the UK’s go-to name for iconic live music moments comes ERA: a genre-fluid, decade-spanning show that hits different.
Think: the best songs from the ‘50s to now, remixed for the moment. One minute you’re vibing to Marvin and Motown, the next it’s Lauryn, Burna, Beyoncé, or Sean Paul. It’s a full-on musical journey, genre to genre, era to era, all led by elite musicians and vocalists who’ve worked with the best in the game.
Curated by Heshima Thompson – Grammy-stage performer, nominated actor, and creative force behind live shows and music working with artists/producers like Amy Winehouse, Nas, Mark Ronson, and Salaam Remi – ERA isn’t just another band, it’s a production. He’s played biggest stages, toured the world, and now he’s bringing that level of magic to your event.
Big show energy or intimate vibes, ERA scales to you. Whether you want a stripped-back acoustic set in a candlelit room or a full-blown live band with orchestra and pyros, ERA brings the heat.
