Katy Hurt hits the road!

Not to be missed in November… Katy Hurt is hitting the road this November with a touring version of her Katy Hurt & Friends show, which played to a sold-out audience at Freedom Bar on 4th July.   The show’s unique concept consists of two full band headline sets from Katy and resident tour guest Sonia Leigh, along with an acoustic Songwriter’s round, featuring guests from a selection of over 20 top UK and US artists who will join them throughout the tour. Katy has spent the summer performing at over 60 festivals and events around the country since the launch of her last EP “Pieces of Me”, a selection of songs that have impressed fans by combining the honest lyrical content of modern country music with the riffs, solos and raucous vocals of southern rock, a là Lynyrd Skynyrd or Cadillac Three. BBC Radio 2’s Paul Sexton recently described Katy as “one of the most exciting prospects on the burgeoning British country scene”, going on to say “Hurt’s confident, distinctive EP Pieces Of Me is the latest evidence of a career that’s already produced an iTunes UK Country No. 1 in last year’s ‘Love You More,’ among other successes”. Acknowledging her skill as a songwriter he also noted she is “a vivacious and magnetic performer…Come and check her out now whilst you can still get to the front row”. To coincide with the Katy Hurt & Friends tour, Katy has also just released her latest single “Cheap”. Co-written and produced with guitarist Gab Zsapka, Cheap is a feel-good, rock and roll throwback track. The single is accompanied by her first official music video recorded live at the legendary Metropolis Studios in London.

Toronto-based Harrow Fair announce UK tour dates!

Toronto-based duo Harrow Fair; Miranda Mulholland (formerly Great Lake Swimmers) and Andrew Penner (Sunparlour Players) are excited to announce their return to the UK this autumn with a string of live dates throughout October / November, concluding at London’s Green Note on Wednesday 8th November, 2017. The band recently set up shop in Toronto’s Revolution Studio recording covers of iconic Chris Isaak song Wicked Game, released earlier this year, plus the new stunning cover of Memphis Minnie track When The Levee Breaks, also made famous by Led Zeppelin. One part stomping songs that echo early country and rock ‘n’ roll, the other gritty ballads that sound sweet and haunted. The duo released their debut full-length album Call To Arms in the summer of 2016, with tracks from their rapidly expanding collection of songs, including the kick-drum booming opener of Hangnail setting the tone for this soulful country album filled with guitar hooks and southern charm. Rounding off their adventures of 2017 Harrow Fair perform at a host of festivals across the US and Canada, before returning to the UK for a headline tour.
