I'm helping this excellent Canadian band get gigs in the UK and Ireland in July and August. If there's anyone out there who is interested/runs a night, please get in touch. If I had to describe them I'd say Appalachian country meets Delta blues played by boys with more than a passing knowledge of Waits and Beefheart.

They are amongst Seasick Steve's favourite bands. You can see him freaking out to them in the second vid at their myspace site. That might put a few people off here I know! But they certainly play their instruments a bit 'fancier' than Steve, so that might even things up.
