A very special and intimate live show is coming to 23 Bath St On Saturday 21 April, with Psychedelic Country Blues and foot stompin’ Rock ‘n’ Roll from The Goat Roper Rodeo Band.
Organisers say, “With just an upright bass, two old guitars and a bucketful of aching harmony, the Goat Roper Rodeo Band are preaching Country Blues like you’ve never heard! It’s up, it’s down, it’s soft and it’s loud, it’s dark and lonesome, there’s hurt and shame and some mean old pain, but there’s love in what they’re doing! There’s a hint of Gram, a sniff of Dylan and a twist of Waylon’s Blues.
“Support comes from Michele Stodart of Magic Numbers. It’s been over a decade since The Magic Numbers landed in the Top 10 with their double-platinum-selling debut album. Michele has taken temporary leave of the band she formed with her brother Romeo, to release her second solo album ‘Pieces’.
“The bedrock of Michele’s writing is a reliance on rock-solid melodies that always stop short of outstaying their welcome. Keen to ensure that the tunes earned their place on the record, Michele wrote most of her songs on ‘Pieces’ away from her guitar – only setting them to chord sequences when they refused to leave her head.”
Tickets £8 in advance, £10 on the door 7pm-10pm. Tickets are available in advance from SeeTickets.com
