In Photos: Marques Toliver & The Sometimes Band + Jamie N Commons + Caroline Weeks @ The Tabernacle, London (13.09.11)

Talent-spotted on the streets of New York by TV on The Radio's Kyp Malone, blogged about by Adele and recent tourmate of both Wild Beasts and James Blake – it's fair to say these are busy times for Florida-born multi-instrumentalist Marques Toliver. Last week the 24 year-old played to a packed house at Notting Hill's elegant Tabernacle venue, where he and his ensemble of backing musicians lit up the stage with a giddy blend of classical, R&B and soul. The singer has just posted a video from the gig on his tumblr, which gives a sharp introduction to his retro-tinged harmonies and natural showmanship. According to our photographer Richard Gray, there were no shortage of music industry suits in attendance, so don't be surprised if you start hearing a lot more about Mr. Oliver in the not-too-distant future.

Support on the night came from local crooner Jamie N Commons and former Bat for Lashes band member Caroline Weeks. You can view a slideshow of Richard's shots of all three acts by clicking on any of the thumbnails below.
