KAWALA - Searching (Live). An exclusive performance for Vevo DSCVR, the channel for the best in new music.

When Jim Higson and Daniel McCarthy formed KAWALA, all they had were acoustic guitars and a surplus of optimism. First, the troubadours strummed their way through Camden, their North London home borough. Then they joined a cadre of musicians making an exodus to Leeds, setting up shop there in 2014. The duo’s status as an acoustic act made them a bit anomalous in the UK indie scene, but it also gave them opportunities to gig at less glamorous but well-paying venues, like churches. Major effort went into making KAWALA’s live show match the energy of plugged-in, electric bands, and Higson and McCarthy eventually built a dedicated following that packed their weekend club dates. 2018’s empowerment anthem “Do It Like You Do” spread the KAWALA mission statement to more ears. Soon the lads had traded church basements for the Reading festival and an opening slot for George Ezra.

During that span, they also added three more members - Reeve Coulson on bass, Dan Lee on electric guitar and Ben Batten on drums - so their live shows could reflect KAWALA’s increasingly richer musical palette. In 2021, off the strength of additional indie-folk confections like “Ticket To Ride,” the band played the main stage at Latitude Festival. After years of developing a group sound, their debut album arrives in March. Get a taste of it by checking their radiant DSCVR performances of “Searching” and “Jesse C’mon.” And never doubt the power of positive vibes.
