The Daniel Birchall Bottle Share #2
Will Stratton (born in Woodland, California, in 1987) is an American songwriter living in New York's Hudson Valley. He is equally known for his engrossing approach to narrative songwriting and for his spellbinding fingerstyle guitar playing. His latest record Points of Origin came out on March 7th on Bella Union to critical acclaim; its songs contain the stories of eight Californians connected by wildfires and arson in the late 20th century. His albums have received positive coverage from Sir Elton John, Alexis Petridis (The Guardian), as well as journalists at Pitchfork, Mojo, and Uncut, among others.
Trippers & Askers is the folk / spiritual jazz project of musician, sound artist, educator and researcher Jay Hammond. The group's latest album Acorn takes inspiration from Octavia Butler's immersive and frighteningly prescient novel Parable of the Sower. As an intertextual work, Acorn brings together a wide array of collaborators that include members of Wye Oak, Califone, former Sun Ra member Ken Moshesh and comic artist John Jennings to explore the book's narrative as it pertains to the very real political and emotional challenges of the present. The album was called "a shimmering homage to nature" by The Guardian.
With extra special guest Jacken Elswyth
Waged (£10.30) and limited low waged/ unwaged (£5.15) tickets available. Bank Card Fees are included in price.
