I Draw Slow at the Cobblestone, 22 Nov.

A reminder that I Draw Slow will be in concert at the Cobblestone, Smithfield, Dublin, on Saturday 22 November at 9.00 p.m. Admission €10. The band consists of Dave Holden (guitar), Louise Holden (vocals), Adrian Hart (fiddle), Colin Derham (clawhammer banjo), and Konrad Liddy (upright bass), and their album Downside was released two months ago. Orla Keeshan writes:

This band is hauntingly brilliant, each gig of theirs could give you goose bumps and leave you with a sense that something otherworldly has happened... The five have created a new sound, rooted in the old-time style of the Appalachian Mountains, drawing on Irish traditional music and modern Americana. However, this is a whole new songbook of stories and melodies. These are tales of debauchery and trouble brewing in the wind; all songs are carried by the kind of well crafted melodies that survive lifetimes.

Don't forget that the A-team of old-time fiddle, banjo, song, and dance - Ira Bernstein and Riley Baugus - will be at the Cobblestone two nights earlier: Thursday 20 November.
