Time for T. w/ James Michael Rodgers

Described as somewhere between Bob Dylan and Fela Kuti, Time for T have always been difficult to categorise. This may be due to the eclectic backgrounds of the band (England, Portugal, Brazil and Spain) and the nomadic nature of its members. The project was started by Tiago Saga in Brighton and is now based between Madrid and Lisbon. Their 'Mongrel' sound can make the whole crowd dance as easily as it can get you crying as most of the songs, when analysed closer, are pensive folk songs sugarcoated in sunny melodies and transatlantic rhythms. Debut LP 'Hoping Something Anything' was released in 2017 and with it came a UK Spotify Viral Charts number 1 single 'Rescue Plane', radioplay on BBC Radio 1 & 6, Antena 3 and Deutschland Radio Kultur. 

Furthermore, the band played at notable festivals Green Man, NOS Alive, Vodafone Paredes de Coura as well as extensive touring around Europe and shows in the USA, Mexico and Lebanon. Since the debut LP, the group have released 'Galavanting' LP and 'Simple Songs for Complicated Times' EP via Street Mission Records and garnered strong media attention with songs such as 'Calling Back' and 'Fire on the Mountain'. 2022 brought new LP 'Hurry Up And Wait' via Lotte Lindenberg, an album recorded mostly live in Frankfurt, Germany. The album highlights the energy of the band whilst on a European tour yet contains contemplative lyrics due to the quarantine period in which the record was finalised, resulting in a powerful juxtaposition between exploration and introspection.
