The Secret Folk Club ft. Oh Man The Mountain, The Bear Around Your Neck & Rik Warren
17 May / 18:00 / More Info / Free Entry
Alt-fock group Oh Man The Mountain top the bill. They tread the lines between harmony, discord, melancholy and joy, creating a big, if slightly broken sound. Drawing influence from roots folk, southern gothic Americana, delta blues and the disassociation from it all that living in a British city tends to bring – the music is not flashy, but an honest attempt to express the confusion of living and loving in a broken world.
Joining them on the bill are solo artist The Bear Around Your Neck, a folk-rock songwriter who recently appeared at Sounds From the Other City, and Honeyfeet guitarist, and folk bluesman Rik Warren.
