Simeon Hammond Dallas
Simeon Hammond Dallas was born and raised in the rich musical and cultural melting pot of Camden Town. Growing up listening to her parent’s eclectic record collection that spanned artists from The Cranberries to Ella Fitzgerald, Simeon’s own music traverses genres and draws on a broad palette of lived experiences to create songs that take her listeners on a rom-com rollercoaster through stories of love, loss and liberation. Through a catalogue filled with intersectional storytelling, hypnotic melodies and poetic lyricism, Simeon Hammond Dallas gives voice to a generation wrangling with the complexities of modern life.
Her second studio EP, Make It Romantic, was held to high acclaim by the likes of Americana UK, Earmilk, Folk Radio, and more. Simeon’s “star in the making” (Lonesome Highway) only continues to rise with a new project brewing for the upcoming year, armed with “a match for the best voices on the UK scene” (Country Way Of Life), and a blazing lead guitar, Simeon Hammond Dallas continues to prove “she is the whole package” (Neil McCormick, The Telegraph).
After finishing 2023 with a bang by showcasing in Nashville at AmericanaFest and co-headlining Bush Hall in London with Song Suffragettes, 2024 is set to be an exciting year for Simeon. So far, she has opened for the likes of Grammy-winner Allison Russell, and made her Country2Country and BBC Radio 2 live debuts. At C2C, she graced the Barrelhouse, Big Entrance, and Saloon hosted by Holler stages, with w21music saying, “There was little to be done except stand back and accept that you were watching something special” (Chris Farlie). She was invited to perform live on BBC Radio 2 during C2C with Bob Harris, singing her songs “Wild Woman” and “Make It Romantic”, to the awe of everyone in the room and radio waves. Simeon is back in the studio, with new music set for release later this year.
