This January, one of the most compelling voices in modern folk music arrives in Glasgow. Mon Rovia’s music is not just a sound; it is an act of resilience, born from an extraordinary journey.
Taking his stage name from his birthplace, Mon Rovia, Liberia, his story began with a civil war, escaping life as a child soldier, and being rescued by missionaries. His developmental years were a profound experience of displacement and assimilation as a transracially adopted refugee.
From these immense life experiences, Mon Rovia has forged a unique Afro-Appalachian Folk sound. It is a heartfelt blend of lyrical indie pop, folk, and the West African traditions that connect his past and present. His songs, hauntingly sincere and atmospheric, carry a deep empathy, with a mission to "heal with others".
It’ll be an unforgettable Thursday night where personal history meets universal human experience through storytelling and intimate, healing melodies.
