The Canadian four-piece, Gordon Mackeeman and His Rhythm Boys will be performing a special gig at the Memorial Theatre on Saturday 8th July from 7.30pm – and tickets are on sale now.
Led by fiddling wiz, Gordie ‘Crazy Legs’ MacKeeman, the roots quartet features all-star pickers and singers, with everything from down-home country to reckless rockabilly to intricate bluegrass.
The Memorial Theatre says, “Crowds all over the world have stared in awe as Gordie plays with joyful abandonment. They have made new fans at festivals such as Denmark’s Tonder Festival and the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival, to Merlefest in North Carolina and the Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia.
“Onlookers report Gordie and the Boys to be festival highlights time and time again having seen the elastic-legged band leader, nicknamed ‘Crazy Legs’, as he demonstrates his unique blend of Canadian clogging and step dancing.
“Since their inception they have collected a mantle full of awards and recognitions. Their latest album Dreamland, produced by Nashville’s R. S. Field, captured all the versatility the group has to offer while showcasing their expansive talents. While their records are tremendous, it’s their exhilarating live show that keeps people coming back time and time again.”
Tickets are £17 and can be bought from: www.fromememorialtheatre.org.uk
