An evening for lovers of American West Coast Country
Rock.
The Loud Shirts from Hull sing three part harmonies, with our
sometime sound man Lynn Blakeston on electric and lap steel guitars, Rob on
bass, Tony on guitar and mandolin and Phil on drums. They will be sharing their
love of 70's West Coast music by, amongst others, the Eagles, Crosby, Still nd
Nash, Flying Burrito Bothers, Steve Earle, Neil Young and Poco. You are sure to
know many of the songs and the boys will have you singing along.
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.
Advance tickets are priced at £10.00. Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in
the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com

HANNAH ALDRIDGE
and special guest
LILLY
HIATT
We are proud to present two of America's best
female singer songwriters Hannah Aldridge and Lilly Hiatt.
27 year old
Hannah Aldridge is steeped in the music of both Muscle Shoals and Nashville, the
two cities she was raised in by her father, Walt, a Muscle Shoals legend as a
songwriter, musician and producer.
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.
