Subject: The Guthries/UK tour
For all the Mudcatters in the UK and Wales, an original and unusual band called The Guthries is heading your way on Sunday, June 23. They are doing 18 gigs in 20 days. This group has a sort of revivalist approach to country funk (hey, I'm no reviewer) unusual lyrics and voices and an ability to captivate in a bizzaare (sp??) way. The band consists of a few guys and a girl and they are not acoustic in the pure sense of the word, but there is a heavy emphasis on acoustic sounds. Their influences are eclectic, but make no mistake, this band has their own sound, and its worth a listen. Music runs in the family (Ann Murray is the aunt of two of the band members) and the drummer has his own appeal..... if you're into that superficial stuff.......

They have a website which I would suspect is www.theguthries.com but I can't be sure
