We’re having a great time so far playing shows in the UK. You can check out the dates on the TOUR page. I also wanted to share a couple of clips. It was great to play a couple of tunes this past November before our performance at Take Root Fest in Groningen with Matthji Van Der Van at Onder/Invloed. I chose a song from Nonsense and Heartache and one by the great soul artist William Bell. Read more below and watch here:

TakeRoot festival just announced its first names for the 2019 edition, featuring Brandi Carlile, Nikki Lane, Erin Rae, Caroline Spence and many others. In november 2018 I got to work with the lovely festival for the second year in a row and I filmed five sessions on one day. One of them was with our Canadian favourite Jerry Leger.

Leger already recorded a first session during last years Down By The River festival (where I went again last Sunday and recorded another four sessions), but met up with me in Groningen anyway to record two new videos. Watch him play a cover of William Bell’s You Don’t Miss Your Water and his own It Don’t Make The Wrong Go Away.

This Saturday we begin our next UK & European tour. We’ll be starting things off with a couple Record Store Day appearances at Music’s Not Dead in Bexhill and Union Music Store in Lewes. That night we’ll appear at The Ramblin’ Roots Revue in High Wycombe for a 9pm set. On hand we’ll have limited edition copies of the new compilation Too Broke To Die: Retrospective 2005-2019. Check out dates on the TOUR page.
