About this event
Mike Dennis is a classically trained violinist whose boyhood love of Run DMC, Beastie Boys and Gangstarr led him to create a unique kind of string-heavy hip hop music he refers to as ‘violinica’.
“Violin in hand and a multitude of effects and loop pedals at his feet, he builds up to a string and percussion crescendo before opening his mouth and …wow! This guy doesn’t just spit rhymes, they just cascade out at a speed that is as ferocious as his lyrics.” – Wake the Deaf (Ben Gallivan)
Performing using violin, loop pedal and cajon, Mike builds up layers of dense harmony and embellishes with thoughtful energetic rhymes drawing inspiration from daily British life and the perils and profits of love with a geeky fascination for rhythm bending and syncopation.
Championed by Radio 6 Music’s Tom Robinson, Mike Dennis has been enthralling audiences across the country and continent.
We are very excited to welcome him to his very first Treyarnon Bay Sunset Session.
