Three Men in a Shed

Dana & Susan Robinson at The Seagull

New England Appalachian duo coming to Suffolk at The Seagull Theatre on November 16th

With great vocals and harmonies, guitars, banjo, mandolin and fiddle, Dana & Susan Robinson are wonderful interpreters of the American experience. Their unique blend of song writing and traditional Appalachian music brings to their performances a deep understanding of America’s musical heritage.

Though their sound is wholly American, a British thread runs throughout showing the influence of their fruitful years touring the UK folk circuit too.

The genius in a Dana and Susan Robinson performance lies in their ability to take their audience on a road trip across America and convey the mystery and wonder of the places they visit. Underpinning the songs is the undeniable rhythm of their trademark guitar/banjo sound. Whether quiet or driving there is a steady and unrelenting groove that supports the lyric and delivers the story in an effortless and magical way.

Americana and Southern rock star Mike Ross returns for solo show

• Essex

Mike RossPASSIONATE and intoxicating American and Southern rock singer Mike - one of the big hits of this year's successful Blues at the Barns festival - returns to the area in September for a rare solo show. Ross, whose music was described by Mojo magazine as "...a fuzzed up, fierce and full frontal fiery attack coupled with sexy, smooth slidin', southern soul" , stormed the May festival with his band, but will be playing a solo acoustic show in the Long Room at the Blue Boar, Maldon, on Friday September 13. Promoter Tim Aves said: "We're getting a  lot of interest in this show and I'm not surprised. We're really excited to have Mike playing a solo acoustic show for us at the Blue Boar. It's not something he does all that often, but in the wonderful, intimate surroundings of the Long Room I reckon he'll be absolutely mesmerising."
