NASHVILLE is coming to Petersfield in the shape of troubadour Woody Pines, who is bringing his special brand of Americana roots as part of a UK tour.
Following the sell-out success of its first show at The Petersfield School, Portsmouth-based Square Roots Promotions is hosting the show where the support is the town’s own popular Mantic Muddlers.
It was on the streets as a professional busker that Woody first cut his teeth, drawing liberally from the lost back alley anthems and scratchy old 78s of American roots music, whether country blues, jugband, hokum or hillbilly.
Heavy, rollicking street performances are the key to some of todays best roots bands, and they’re the key to Woody’s intensely catchy rhythms, jumpy lyrics, and wildly delirious sense of fun. Woody travelled all over the streets of the States road testing his songs, drawing from the catchiest elements of the music he loved and adding in a hopped-up vintage electrification to get that old country dancehall sound down right.
Doors open at The Studio at The Petersfield School in Cranford Road at 7pm on Wednesday, May 23.
Advance tickets are £14 and are available from One Tree Books in Lavant Street, Petersfield, Vinyl Matters in Chapel Street, Petersfield or online at: www.wegottickets.com/event/424900
