The Coal Porters - Back on the road for the first time in two years, starting in London, taking in Scarborough, Middlesborough, the Scottish Borders and the estimable Square Tower in Portsmouth.
The Coal Porters are a unconventional five-piece acoustic indie band from London. Their last release 'No.6' defies traditional boundaries of acoustic folk music which is why they proudly call themselves “the world’s first Alt-Bluegrass band.”
The Coal Porters have been reviewed favourably in everything from Billboard to Mojo to Uncut to The Daily Mail to The Observer to El Pais and The Los Angeles Times.
"Swell picking, sweet vocals, strong tunes...a bucketful of tradition"
Time Out
"Great harmony singing and memorable songs that often recall a British Flying Burrito Brothers or a back porch Ronnie Lane"
Mojo Magazine ****
"Not your average fish and chips bluegrass, the Coal Porters have expanded their music with broad strokes and fearless execution."
Chris Hillman (Byrds/Flying Burrito Bros/Desert Rose)
"...the Coal Porters whisk together a hugely listenable cocktail of bluegrass, folk and country..."
Uncut Magazine ****
"Sid Griffin was playing Americana years before the term was invented and that pioneer spirit shines on with his current band, the Coal Porters."
Billy Bragg
