The musical partnership between Leon Hunt & Jason Titley started way back in the early nineties, at some truly unforgettable late-night festival jams which, inevitably, led to the formation of a band, the ground-breaking and hugely popular ‘progressive’ bluegrass outfit, Daily Planet. Numerous projects and years later, Leon and Jason are back as a duo, making the very most of the musical chemistry they always had, but with the addition of decades of experience. Banjo-wizard Leon Hunt has played alongside some of the world’s top musicians from several musical styles, backgrounds and disciplines for more than a decade. Jason Titley is unquestionably one of the most driving and rhythmically engaging ‘flat pick’ guitarists around, touring with Tim O'Brien, and playing on stage with the god of hell fire himself - Arthur Brown. Jason also recently released his critically acclaimed solo album, Still Rolling, featuring a who’s who of the acoustic scene’s finest from both the USA and the UK.
Leaning heavily on traditional music from the US and The British Isles, their own compositions take on musical references from just about everywhere else. Expect an evening of superb musicianship and funny anecdotes from their 30 years making music together as the duo tour Dorset with Artsreach, the county’s rural arts charity.
