On Friday September 28th,
WagonWheel Presents… once again brings three great bands to
Shakespeares. Joining us this time around we have twangy rock ‘n’ roll from
Roaming Son, alt-country psych from
Walton Hesse and some old time country folk from
Grassoline. Advance tickets priced at £3 are available from
http://www.wegottickets.com/event/181139 or entry on the night will be £4. Doors open 7.45pm.
***ROAMING SON***Roaming Son are a Sheffield based band that mix earthy heartfelt vocals with twangy dirty guitars, greasy bass and jungle drums to create a sound that is influenced by the classic rock’n’roll recordings of the 50′s / 60′s but while adding a distinctive modern flavour. From brash to beautiful, the sound of chainsaws & rainbows.

Frontier facing and burdened by a twisted nostalgia this alt-country psych creation blend melodious harmonies, haunted by the ghostly union of Gram and Emmylou to bring Arizona desert plains to the streets of Manchester.
Walton Hesse have been friends forever, born of a chance encounter and a ten year love affair the North Mancunian scum scrub up golden in the sunshine, blend MC5, Creedance and Hank Williams to shake the peaches from your dusty tree. Walton Hesse make you homesick for a place you’ve never lived… so don’t look now, listen, and bring it home.

Late last year they released their debut CD “Mountain & Grave”. Americana UK described the 6 tracks as having “the makings of something really special”. We wouldn’t disagree.
“
Grassoline are not made for these times. Theirs is a music of epic grandeur and epic heartbreak that is so complete within itself that it is not of the tradition, it’s not just bluegrass or folk tinged transplanted balladry, it’s the living music of a colonised landscape. Grassoline are a band more than worthy of your attention whether on record or live.”
