Alice Howe and Freebo at Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall 7 October 2018


TOWN HALL LIVE


  presents
ALICE HOWE
& FREEBO

on 
SUNDAY 7TH OCTOBER 
with support from DANNY BRADLEY


With her impeccably tuned voice and crafted songs, Boston singer songwriter is at once timeless, personal and universal.  It is clear why she has been compared to Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez.
As a performer Alice is sure footed, captivating and familiar to her audience from the very first song.
Alice spent three years, from 2013 to 2016 in Seattle and during that time became a familiar face in the acoustic music scene playing numerous concerts locally.  In the summer of 2016 she returned to Boston and has been busy making herself known across America ever since.
For her first UK tour, Alice will be accompanied by the world renowned bassist and acoustic guitarist Freebo, who has played with Bonnie Raitt, Neil Young and Loudon Wainwright and may other top stars.  He is also an award winning songwriter and producer.
Antje Duvekot says of Alice Howe 'I could listen to her sing for hours. Her voice is a clear as a bell and classic in that Joan Baez way, transporting and wistful.  Alice's musical mastery and musicality are beyond her years and her songs stay in your head for days'
Supporting will be DANNY BRADLEY lead singer with The Crash Blossoms.  Danny is a Town Hall Live favourite and the perfect support for Alice.

MATTHEWS SOUTHERN COMFORT to Kirton.

The lead singer of Matthews Southern Comfort is Iain Matthews.  Iain grew up in Scunthorpe and on leaving school he worked for Jack Tighe's in Kirton.  Now he is back.
He left Scunthorpe in 1967 to seek fame and fortune in London.  He was a founding member of Fairport Convention and was their lead vocalist on their first three albums.  He moved on to form Matthews Southern Comfort, exploring his interest in American music.  In 1971 the band has a No. 1 hit with Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock'
Iain went on to have a successful solo career in America and went on to form and play in Plainsong, before relocating to Holland in the 90's.
Never one to dwell on past successes, Ian reformed MSC simply because he didn't feel he got it right the first time.  The new band features an all Dutch line up of incredible musicians.  There is renowned guitarist, song writer and producer BJ Baartmans on guitar, Bart De Win on keyboards and singer song writer Eric Devries on guitar and harmony vocals.
Support will come from York progressive folk songwriter Joshua Burnell, who has been getting rave reviews across the music press for his band's latest album.
