Local band Baby Brave are one of two artists from Wales to be showcased by FOCUS Wales at the BreakOut West Festival in Yukon, Canada.

Two artists have been selected to appear and Snowdonia based band Worldcub will join Baby Brave at the Festival. The trip has been made possible with the help of Wales Arts International and PRS Foundation who are working together to support Wales based artists to undertake international visits, aimed at the development of international work outside of the UK.

Baby Brave is an exciting indie pop outfit formed in Wrexham in 2014. Their sound has graduated with a heavier, gutsier beat that has earned the band a solid fanbase and support slots at festivals and venues all over the UK for the likes of Bo Ningen, Stealing Sheep, and Slow Club.

Worldcub are a bilingual indie psych band hailing from Snowdonia. Their debut album was self-released at the tail end of 2016 and gained coverage on major platforms such as The Guardian and UNCUT Magazine. Worldcub’s performance at BreakOut West will also contribute to the celebration of the UNESCO year of indigenous languages taking place at the festival, where artists who perform in various indigenous languages will be present.

Both bands caught the eye of BreakOut West’s music booker during their performances at FOCUS Wales 2019. For more information on international opportunities with FOCUS Wales visit www.focuswales.com/international
