Birds of Chicago @ Kirton In Lindsay Town Hall on 1st November 2019








TOWN HALL LIVE

FRIDAY 1ST NOVEMBER


BIRDS OF CHICAGO
with support from DANNY BRADLEY
'Birds of Chicago reassert the simple notion that beautiful word and music can tap a deep vein of emotion.  They seduce you with their joyous, intimate, rousing and hauntingly evocative lyrics.'

Birds of Chicago are the collective centred around Jeremy (JT) Lindsay and Allison Russell.  On their current UK Tour they will be joined by ace guitarist Steve Dawson,
Prior to 2012 Jeremy and Allison played in different bands, Allison with Po' Girl and Jeremy with JT & The Clouds.  Both played at THL with these bands.  They joined forces in 2013, and Jeremy found himself a transcendental vocal muse in Allison and the band honed it's chops by playing 200 shows a year between 2013 & 2017.  Together, there is a unmistakable chemistry, with Jeremy finding the perfect voice for his rock and roll psalms.  Both sing, Jeremy plays guitar, whilst Allison plays banjo, percussion and out of this world clarinet.
Their latest album 'Love in Wartime' contains one memorable song after another, with each tune creating it's own musical suite filled with spiraling melodic beauty.  With 'Love in Wartime' they have created a buzz and have broken through to a much wider audiences throughout America the UK and Europe.  It particularly the cast at Festivals, where over the last two summers they have played Celtic Connections, Cambridge Folk Festival, The Isle of Sky Festival and the Shrewsbury Folk Festival among others.
Support will come form THL favourite DANNY BRADLEY. who we feel is the perfect match for Birds of Chicago.  Besides being an excellent  Danny is a unique and distinctive voice.  He is so well liked by THL audiences, that has been called back to play encores in each of his six previous solo appearances.  He is that good.

This concert will be up there with the best of 2019.  Don't miss it.

Birds of Chicago - Coming to Town Hall Live Kirton


TOWN HALL LIVE


  OUR NEXT CONCERT IS ON

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY 7TH MAY 

BIRDS OF CHICAGO


In so many ways we are a word weary culture, ever searching for ways to communicate in fewer and fewer syllables.  Our on line, blogged out, Yor tubed attention spans are truncated and fragmented like never before,
BIRDS OF CHICAGO the collective centred around Jeremy Lindsay (aka JT Nero) and Allison Russell, reassert the simple notion that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion.

The band were formed in 2012, when Nero began writing for his vocal star muse Russell.  Both were accomplished singer song writers of their own, Jeremy with his band, JT & The Clouds and Allison with the acclaimed roots outfit Po'Girl, but together there was an unmistakable chemistry.  JT had found the perfect voice for his rock and roll psalms, whilst Allison moved from being the primary songwriter to interpreter.
Both JT & The Clouds and Po'Girl played Town Hall Live in the early days and Birds of Chicago last played Kirton in 2013.  In the five years since, the band have developed a fervent following across America, touring 200 dates a year, sometimes as a five piece band and sometimes as a four piece.  They have released four albums and they are back in the UK to promote their latest CD 'Love in Wartime' which is released in on May 4th, and excellent it is too.
In addition to Jeremy on guitar and vocals and Allison on banjo, clarinet and vocals, the band will be made up of Deren Ney (guitar), Chris Merrill (bass) and Nick Chambers (drums)
Check out a video of their song American Flowers
Support will come from local artist Luke Todd.  With poignant lyricism in his songs, Luke conveys his thoughts in a way that capture how many of us feel, but rarely find the way to express.
Advance Tickets are £13.50 and can be obtained from the One Stop store in Kirton, from Brian on 01652 649230. or brianchudley@btinternet.com or here
Venue:  Town Hall, Market Square, Kirton in Lindsey, N Lincs, DN21 4LZ

ELLES BAILEY

headlines
 
'Elles Bailey and her band play music that crosses genres, blending roots sounds with blues and soul'.
Bristol based Elles has a talent for seamlessly weaving roots, blues and rock, with a contemporary edge.  After releasing 2 EP's in 2016, she released her debut album, 'Wildfire' in September 2017.  The album attracted 5 star reviews across the music press, and the lead single from it was supported by BBC Radio 2.  Elles recorded the album at the world famous Blackbird studios in Nashville with top producer Brad Nowell.  It features some of Nashville's top musicians and was 'blended' back in the UK.  The result is a unique coming together of trans-Atlantic styles.
Elles will perform with her band that includes Joe Wilkins on lead guitar, Zak Raymond on bass and Tom Gilkes on drums, with Elles trademark husky vocals providing the lead.
Supporting Elles will be Bridlington singer song writer Gracie Falls, who in 2016 won the UK Unsigned Artist Award.

we welcome back


HANNAH ALDRIDGE


There are few artists that can truly encapsulate the essence of true Americana like Muscle Shoals artist HANNAH ALDRIDGE, whose musical pedigree speaks for itself.  With sounds ranging from blues, to the musical stylings of her hometown and Nashville, where she now lives, Hannah leaves no inspiration or influence untapped.

Her music is sometimes wild, introspective, celebratory, regretful, boisterous and gentle. It is American music dressed in rags, not rhinestones.  Hannah never shies away from honesty in her songs,  Her Alabama twang mixes with a rock edge and the songs are delivered with a burning intensity.  You cannot help but be moved by them.

As a performer, Hannah holds her audience in the palm of her hand putting on a stunning show with her strong, clear and emotion packed vocals.

Support will come from Matt Taylor from Sheffield band Anytown
