Last year we were lucky enough to play on this exact same stage, we must have done something right to have been invited back again this year.
This will be our third visit to play in Edinburgh in 2019, and honestly the responses at gigs we have had has been very humbling. Last year was a complete sell out as we co-headlined with the amazing Jedd Potts trio. This year is a co-headline with our very good friends from Aberdeen Full Fat. We have played a lot of gigs with these guys and know this will be another cracking night ahead.
The great thing about this venue is the location, it is a pop up venue that will be there during the duration of the Edinburgh festival (that follows the Jazz & Blues festival), but the whole gardens is available as a FREE venue to soak up the atmosphere, have a sociable drink, some great food and enjoy the glorious sunshine outwith a few of the gardens official venues.
Tickets are available RIGHT NOW FROM THIS LINK, I would highly recommend buying now as all the incoming festival go-ers will buy up tickets nearer the day, so don’t leave it too late.
We have been very busy writing a lot of new songs for our next album, and will add in one or two as well as some of our much more well known songs from our previous 3 studio albums.
Come on down, its a Saturday night and promises to be one to remember
What can I say, but its good to be back…we haven’t really gone away, but taking a small break from playing live gave us more time to focus on new tunes and glad to say we are very excited about what we have achieved, so far…
Anyway, more exciting news very soon but the reason for reaching out to you all now is something we are over the moon to be involved with.
SATURDAY 16th FEBRUARY we are supporting the Grammy nominated Cedric Burnside playing at McChuills in Glasgow
Now an artist in his own right, emerging from the huge shadow of his drum kit where he sat for his “Big Daddy” grandfather RL Burnside. His first album with Lightnin Malcolm as part of the 2 Man Wrecking Crew was a statement of where he was going. 10 years later as a Grammy nominated artist for last years album Benton County Relic. Played at the 2018 Edinburgh Blues Festival (as did Dixie Fried).
If you know anything about Dixie Fried as a band, then RL Burnside has had a MASSIVE influence on where we come from style wise. Hill Country Blues music is our foundation, and where we build all our tunes from. In fact the album Burnside on Burnside still remains as one of our very favourite live albums.
ON SUNBURST AND THUMP, our third studio album is being released on Friday 9th February on all digital platforms (apple music, amazon, spotify, deezer etc...).
We have no intention on producing this on CD, but instead we are offering a top quality package with details below.
We have a limited amount of the very best quality of 12" VINYL that money can buy. 180g vinyl, recorded on 24 bit 44100Hz. To partner this amazing looking (and sounding) record we have a 12 page A5 lyric booklet, and filled with images of everything that has brought us to this point in our musical journey.
The package looks great but it feels even better, and we are over the moon the way it catches exactly everything we have put into this.
Normal retail price is £15
BUT, if purchased on our pre-sale offer during the month of December then the first 50 we are offering at just £12 (plus post and packaging) AND we promise to have the whole thing delivered to you for the very latest of week commencing January the 16th - almost a whole month prior to the worldwide digital release.
