Leicester native Leo Stannard will be playing The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham next month
20-year-old multi-instrumentalist and artist, Leo Stannard is heading out on a headline UK tour next month and is coming to play The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham on the 25th October.
Having laid his soul bare in his brooding new single, In My Blood, this is the first offering from the Leicester-born native since his Free Rein EP released earlier this year.
Taking inspiration from personal experiences, the delicate melodies of the song contrasted with its overwhelming chorus reflects the compatibility between people and its affect that it can have on relationships, “In My Blood is all about people who become such an integral part of your life, people who don’t necessarily share the same blood-line as you but become like family. It’s all about the human connection.”

The past few months have been excitingly busy for Leo with the release of his respective collaborations with Black Butter label mates Kidnap Kid and Kant. Leo lent his unique vocals to Moments and Close To The Wire.
In between writing, collaborating and studio time, Leo has been gigging solo across UK and Europe and supporting various artists on their headline tours including Rudimental, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Nina Nesbitt.
He recently announced his fist UK headline tour which will kick off on the 15th of October in Bristol and wrap up at London’s Oslo on October 26, with a crucial date at The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham on October 25th.
Leo Stannard has spent the first part of 2016 creating new material for his anticipated album.
