Likewise can be said of the special guests for the evening, Kuschty Rye from Bradford, who are Des Horsfall (pictured) and Andy McKerlie.  Des has recorded a trio of albums inspired by the late great Ronnie Lane.  The music takes you back to the music of The Small Faces, the Faces and Slim Chance.  Indeed, Des is the current singer of Ronnie's old band Slim Chance. Both acts have played a support slot previously at Town Hall Live and both went down really well, so well that we had to ask them back.  Kuschty Rye will play a 40 minute set, whilst the Loud Shirts will play a full set.  It will be a night of great music, with a whole of songs that you are bound to recognise.

As a teenager Hannah trained to be a classical pianist and didn't begin writing songs until she was 21 and a student at Tennessee State University.  Her performing career began at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville when she was chosen to represent the University in a 3 song showcase.  Within two years she signed a publishing deal after her song 'Lonesome' was featured on the Hart of Dixie TV series. In 2013 she recorded her debut album 'Razor Wire, which was packed with quality songs and was backed by Jason Isbell's band 400 Unit.  It is stunning.  She is about to release the follow up. The special guest on Hannah's 2016 tour will be Lilly Hiatt.  Lilly also has a famous father, John whose songs have been covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. Lilly writes and plays songs that are witty, frank and musically adventurous.  In 2015 she released her latest album 'Royal Blue' that contains eleven smart songs that branch out into different sounds and styles, from pop to rock to indie.

Only one UK date remaining for RAGGED UNION BLUEGRASS

Only one UK date remaining for RAGGED UNION BLUEGRASS (Colorado, USA) Fri 21 October 2016 “Ragged Union Bluegrass are a powerful new group that has a Only one UK date remaining for RAGGED UNION BLUEGRASS (Colorado, USA) Fri 21 October 2016 Ragged Union Bluegrass “Ragged Union Bluegrass are a powerful new group that has all the essential elements of a great band – top-notch musicians, original material, tight harmonies and blistering instrumentals! They put on an entertaining stage show and have the talent and versatility to please a wide variety of audiences. Professionally, they are dependable, courteous and a pleasure to work with" - Ken Seaman, Midwinter Bluegrass Festival, USA Lead vocalists Geoff and Christina Union have surrounded themselves with some of Colorado's finest acoustic musicians. Their latest album 'Hard Row to Hoe' is as thick and easy as a Georgia wind on an August afternoon. Grab a glass of sweet tea, settle back on the front porch swing and enjoy the tunes! Ragged Union Bluegrass Ragged Union’s hard-driving bluegrass, with a tinge of the traditional and a healthy dose of the blues is infectious and mesmerising. And since their inception a couple of years ago are becoming a firm favourite with music lovers up and down the land! “This is your grandfather’s bluegrass music but NOT his lyrics or subject matter. These tunes are ‘traditional’ in their approach and in RU’s presentation, but the subject matter of the lyrics is wholly modern; that is, they deal with modern angst, problems, even fixations in both a literal and metaphorical way. And this is the crux: that’s entirely different than how bluegrass music has been ‘updated’ to date. It is beyond appropriate; it is fresh and innovative while preserving through their instruments the things one likes about bluegrass music.” Some pretty powerful words for a band who is just now releasing their first album. The music coming from this six-piece Colorado based ensemble, lead by husband and wife Geoff and Christina Union, is memorable and provides a platform for players performing original tunes and off-the-beaten path standards, winning fans in the process. There is an intimacy and tightness surrounding the vocals, with award-winning instrumental work, a powerful rhythmic drive, and up tempo arrangements giving way to the edgy, outsider songwriting that has become an earmark of their style. 'Hard Row to Hoe' was recorded in the fall/winter months of 2014 in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Former Rebecca Frazier/Hit and Run banjoist, and current player for Finnders and Youngberg, Aaron Youngberg, engineered and mixed the project consisting of thirteen tunes, eleven singers, two instrumentals, ten originals and three covers. Band members Christina Union (lead and tenor vocals), Jordan Ramsey (mandolin, vocal), Chris C-Bob Elliot (Banjo), Justin Hoffenberg (fiddle), and Michael Sivcovich (upright bass), have created a sound that is masterful in the hands of seasoned musicians and with an appeal that is infectious.
