On the edge

From the far borders of bluegrass in Ireland, Conor of the Prairie Dawgs reports:

Just wanted to let you know of a great gig in Bewleys on Grafton Street, Dublin, this Friday (13 February): Tumbleweed Love proudly presents Jennifer Evans & the Ripe Intent.

If I was forced to put a label on Jennifer's music I would probably say Alt Folk Jazz - and even at that it doesn't really do her justice. This girl truly has raw talent as a singer & a songwriter & she is playing in Bewleys on Saturday with her band. Also on the same bill are Torc, who are also led by another wonderfully talented singer, Marlo. And opening the evening will be Mossy & the Bright Boys, a fantastic trad duo featuring Mossy from the Prairie Dawgs on bouzouki...

Bewleys has a limited capacity of only 50. It's a wonderful intimate & atmospheric venue. I'm delighted to say I have played there twice with the Prairie Dawgs and interestingly the Dawgs unanimously voted this their favourite venue - 'cos reaching 'unanimous' decisions is no mean feat for nine Dawgs. So this is the perfect venue to see these artists and all for only €8 - sure you wouldnt even get two flippin' pints for that!!

Anyway if you have any questions please let me know - and remember Bewleys has a very limited capacity so you would be advised to come early or let me know if you want me to hold a ticket for you at the door.
