The streets of Edinburgh have produced many talents, but few bands have played their way out of the urban environment and into the hearts of an international audience as quickly as High Fade. Formed in mid-2018, Harry Valentino (guitar and vocals), Oliver Sentance (bass) and Calvin Davidson (drums and vocals) combine the energy and spontaneity of street music-making with an unmistakable style that goes far beyond the boundaries of traditional genres. Their music - a rousing fusion of funk, rock, pop and disco, infused with the influences of the 70s and 80s - has catapulted from the streets of Edinburgh to the great concert halls of the world in just a few years and is not only a tribute to the soundscapes of past decades, but also an impressive expression of contemporary musicality.
Over 30 million views and streams within the first six months of its initial release are testament to the magnetic appeal of its music. But it's not just the numbers that impress. High Fade has received recognition from music greats such as Jack Black, Cypress Hill, Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple and Brad Wilk from Rage Against The Machine. Emeli Sandé, David Paich and even Peter Andre are also among the band's supporters - a remarkable success for a group that has only existed since 2018.
The magic of their live performances, the infectious energy and the virtuosity of their performance have made High Fade a must-see band. With over a thousand performances in the last four years, they have built a reputation that reaches far beyond the UK. Their show is more than just a concert; it's an experience that dissolves the boundaries between band and audience, immersing everyone in the room in a wave of funk, disco and pure joie de vivre. From old school soul and Motown to classic rock, High Fade draws on the musical tastes and experiences of all three members, extracting the best elements to serve up live on stage. In their own words, their sound "doesn't work without a crowd, a dance floor and people who want to dance the night away". And that's exactly what fans can expect on their upcoming tour.
