The Purple Fez Club

Story

The Purple Fez Club" project has been brought together by five disjointed musicians residing in the Silves area of Southern Portugal. Songwriter John Emery and multi-instrumentalist Robin Jennings have fused their love of Alt Americana, folk and pop with a New World vibe, stretching from the Iberian Peninsula to Africa and beyond. The Purple genre has been born. John describes writing songs as being a little like salvaging shiny golden strands of life before they get buried by all the nonsense. “I like the idea that someone living on the other side of the planet could get a good idea of where and how you have lived over the years, purely through song, just in a two and a half minute tune. The more cinematic the songs the better".
