The Dodge Brothers The Black Box Saturday 1 May 2.00pm £7.00 Buy Tickets
The Dodge Brothers are renowned for playing the hell out of classic Americana. Singing songs about transport, heartbreak and homicide, they render distinctive narratives of mean women, bad men and railroads and set them to hard driving rhythms.
One Mark Kermode thumps the double bass and blows a lonesome harmonica. Joining our favourite film critic with howling guitar and plaintive banjo is Mike Hammond alongside the ringing guitar and mandolin of Aly Hirji.They’re backed up by percussion on a shoe-string from Al Hammond.
This roughneck quartet make a mighty roar and have got feet stomping and hands clapping from California through the Natchez Trace to the South coast of the UK. Skiffletastic.
Support from the great Jonny Black (LaFaro) in his Rhinestone wearin’ alt- country guise.
