About The Artists
East Lonesome Drifters

Website

Well it’s been a while but we are thrilled that the East Lonesome Drifters will once again play at the Country Soul. ELD are a UK country & western outfit that pay homage to traditional honky tonk, western swing and the Bakersfield sound. Fronted by Pennsylvanian Crispy Cowboy the band play a mix of classic covers and quality original material. Currently working on the follow up to their very fine self-penned ‘A Satisfied Mind’ EP, the band are really looking forward to hitting the stage with all the energy and edge of a classic electric country outfit. Expect to hear lovely three part harmonies, swirling pedal steel from Jonathan Shacklock, acoustic guitar strummin’ & country kick drummin’ from Ravi Panesar, Fender Telecaster tones from David Coleman, bar room piano from Tim Pearson and electric bass from Josh DeMita. Don’t miss them.

The Vanguards

Website

London based outfit The Vanguards will be joining us at the February Session. The Vanguards are a five-piece traditional bluegrass outfit that take their musical inspiration from the originators of bluegrass music and their creative legacy. Despite being rooted in the classic framework as laid down by the bluegrass fathers, The Vanguards also seek to innovate and their original songs and instrumentals are written with one foot in the past and the other decidedly in the present. Come and see this fine band do what they do.

Les Saules Pleureurs

Website

We are delighted that London based outfit Les Saules Pleureurs will be making their Country Soul debut. With Robert Paul (Severed Limb) on vocals and guitar and Sophie Loyer (Urban Voodoo Machine) on violin, Les Saules Pleureurs play a mixture of alt-country, cajun and western swing. Checkout their brand new limited edition 45 Are You Loathsome Tonight? / Weeping Willow (Wonderfulsound Records), it really is rather lovely.
