Saint Senara

They started out as neighbours. A singer-songwriter and a poet separated only by a thin wall, Andrew Bate and Chloe Gorman found each other and their creative worlds collided. Combining Chloe's dark and powerful words with Andrew's unique, melodic musical style and 'the most beautiful male voice' producer Paul Reeve (Muse, Razorlight) has ever heard, Saint Senara was born. They made their debut as a duo at Cheltenham Jazz Festival in 2022 and haven't looked back. The pair have received widespread critical acclaim for their genre-defying sound, 'chainsaw' Gretsch guitar tone, bluesy vocals, ethereal harmonies and spellbinding lyrics — and have featured in MNPR Magazine, Blues in Britain, SLAP Mag, A&R Factory, Obscure Sound and more. The title track from their 2023 self-released debut Flowers on My Grave - EP placed eighth in the Blues & Roots International Song Contest. They were named Gloucestershire’s best band of 2023 and followed up with their second release Under My Skin - EP in summer 2024, which was a finalist for EP of the Year in the Crags Radio Unsigned Music Awards. They’ve been likened to When Rivers Meet but more lyrical, as well as The Civil Wars, The White Stripes and even Fleetwood Mac. They’ve played with Elles Bailey, George Montague, Truck, Mirages, Bottlemoth, Chloe Mogg and Kay Iris — and have shows with Echo Town, Dusk Brothers and Dom Martin in 2025.
