THIS WILL BE OUR LAST ALTER STATES AMERICANA SHOW FOR A WHILEWe are spoiling you with headliners Annie Keating Band but also past headliners James White & The Wildfire will be joining us and we have the pleasure of introducing Florence Sommerville to open proceedings. A quality packed schedule.
The Annie Keating Band features Keating on acoustic guitar and vocals, rising star Joe Coombs on electric/slide guitars, Scott Warman on bass and Jamie Dawson on drums.
This renowned backing band tours and supports the likes of Demi Marriner and Sara Petite. This lineup has been together for a while and recorded a phenomenal Live album in Essex in 2023 at the Little Rabbit Barn. This unit is hot - this will be a live treat.
Talent spotted by BBC Radio‘s Bob Harris with the release of her breakthrough album, “Belmont” in 2008, Keating has been growing in stature and reputation, having released 11 critically acclaimed studio albums drawing formidable comparisons to artists including Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt and John Prine along the way. A staple of the contemporary Americana scene, Annie Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe — in that way that only the best artists can — that all of it is worth the cost.
