Tonight! Birmingham gig supporting Those Pretty Wrongs

at The Kitchen Garden Cafe in Kings Heath, Birmingham! 

This acoustic duo consist of Jody Stephens and Luther Russell. 
Stephens may be best known for his time as the drummer in the legendary act Big Star, and Russell was part of the early-90s indie-rock band the Freewheelers. Here they are doing a classic Big Star tune!

This is a great opportunity for us to make a good impression at this renowned local venue so come on out and show your support! 

Last weekend we were in Devon for Dart Music Fest

Blues Bomb! + May Tour Dates

,

On monday we played a show at Mr Wolf's in Bristol and we got 'blues bombed' by the Bristol Blues Dancers!

We were about to go on stage and there were only a handful of fans in the audience and then all of a sudden the room filled up with amazing dancers!

It was hard to keep my jaw from dropping.  
We're looking forward to playing a blues set for them on 12th June at Pata Negra.

Speaking of mouths, we are excited to be returning to Dartmouth this weekend to play during the Dart music festival and kick off our shows for May!

Vote for us to play the Isle of Wight Festival!

I remember my dad showing me the DVD 'Isle of Wight' fest from 1970 for the first time and it really blowing me away. I watched artists like Joni Mitchell, The Moody Blues, The Who and Free performing to the thousands upon thousands of people and thinking "I want to do that".

Well now we might just have a chance!

This management website has launched a competition to feature a new band on the 'New Blood' stage at the 2017 Isle of Wight festival and we need your vote!

The Fantastic Light Ship!

The VIP party on the John Sebastian was a corker of a night!

The 130 year boat is a magical venue, it smells like old wood and teak oil, and you can hear the harbour water lapping at its sides.  Maybe it was the booze, or the dancing, or some combination of both, but we all had our sea-legs on as the boat rocked with us all night.

'Moody Will and the Roll' kicked off the evening with some great tunes, and we are looking forward to them playing with us again this Saturday for the EP launch gig at the Lansdown in Clifton, Bristol! (get tickets here)

Part way through the evening Alicia Best joined us on violin and vocals (we are exploring our sound as a trio,) and as one person wrote; your voices blend like milk and honey.

We set up a typewriter on our merchandise table so that our crowd-funding campaign donors (and other VIP guests) could type anonymous feedback about the evening's events.  We will continue to use the typewriter at gigs for our email list and general feedback (perhaps some of you signed up for these emails via typewriter!)

In Dartmouth between shows and some busking, we hiked out by the coves and filmed this live video on the seaside cliffs.

Our gig on Tuesday in Birmingham marked five shows as a trio, in as many days.
