Nels Andrews+AJ Roach
Tuesday 24th October
£7.50 (£5 concessions & Regulars)
Doors open:7.30pm Show starts: 8pm
Two of the US Americana scene’s foremost artists team up for what will be a stunning double bill.
Roach’s authentic Appalachian rootsiness will be complemented by Andrews’ poetic, widescreen vision
in a double bill no one who truly appreciates great songwriting should miss.
Nels Andrews
Sparsely arranged, slyly intelligent country-folk stuffed with juniper winds, Juarez jails and long women
in short dresses, delivered with all the gruff urgency of Tom Waits over lap steel and ruptured guitar.****
Uncut
“The audience is transfixed, no one leaves, no one goes to the bar, they just listen, to a lyricist whose
words have a power and intensity that is rarely matched, and remind you of the glory days of Morrison
and Dylan.” Americana UK
AJ Roach
“a masterclass in illustrating how much sophistication goes into creating so-called primitive music.” The
Herald
“His Americana folk songs unfold beautiful narratives and a gritty sentiment not heard since the late
great Townes Van Zandt last broke the hearts of an audience.” Listen.com
“Roach is a deep woods troubadour with a cunning wit and a southern gothic spiritualism that sounds
older than voodoo.” Pop Matters
