Coming up at Bogbain
Sunday 1st April 2012Rachel Harrington with The Knock Outs
Ancient sounding Country Noir. Drawing from a rich array of influences including an upbringing in the Pentecostal pines of Oregon and a dad with a secret stash of Motown and Stax albums, glimpses of Otis Redding, Loretta Lynn, Sam Cooke, Hank Williams, Ray Charles and Emmylou Harris can all be spotted prowling the edges of Harrington’s work. Having toured with the likes of Iris Dement, this is one gig not to miss. 8pm – £10/8 in advance or £12/10 on the door. “songs that conjure the ghosts of old America” ~**** MOJO MAGAZINE

Friday 6th July 2012BARD
