Our debut album 'See it Through' is available now on all streaming sites (and CD via Bandcamp)
'The Flowers blend Americana with the folk-tinged spaciousness of California psychedelia, a touch of British music hall pop, 60’s Wurlitzer organ-driven rock, and a hint of Nashville country....

The soulful, sun-drenched, 60's-inspired folk-rock sound of The December Flowers took seed in 2017, when singer/songwriter Gemma Gray, and multi-instrumentalist Joel Robson (formerly of The Jesus Loves Heroin Band) started recording and performing as a duo on the Sheffield folk circuit. They were joined by Shane Surgey (ex-Payroll Union) and his Wurlitzer piano in 2018, after he watched them play songs from their ‘My Joshua Tree’ EP during that year's Tramlines Festival weekend in Sheffield.
With the addition of drummer Sam Dougherty the following year, and bassist Ian Swift in 2021, The December Flowers bloomed into existence, and gigs followed supporting both local and international touring artists. The 2020 singles 'Goodbye Little Town' and 'Sweet California’, and the 2021 EP ‘Everything Remains’, showcased the band’s maturing sound and expanding horizons.
