As part of our ongoing partnership with YouTube channel Ont’Sofa, we recently invited down up-and-coming singer/songwriter Gareth Esson for the next instalment of our Stagedoor Sessions series of acoustics.

Performing a wonderful stripped-back cover of John Legend’s iconic Ordinary People, Esson’s emotionally-soulful vocals made for a visual so immersive that you’ll be captivated from the oft!

A regular of East London collective Sessions 58, Gareth is set to join the rest of his Sessions cohorts on 1st June at London’s iconic Jazz Cafe (tickets available over here direct from Ticketmaster UK).

Check the full performance out below; we’ll also be sharing another performance within the next couple of weeks exclusively on our own YouTube channel, so stay locked.
