MONDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER
FRANK TURNER W/ JONAH MANTRANGA, JOSHUA ENGLISH & JAY JAY PISTOLET
FORMER MILLION DEAD FRONTMAN FRANK TURNER DITCHED HARDCORE TO TRY HIS HAND AT LOVE OF FOLK/ACOUSTIC/COUNTRY AND MAYBE ALONG THE WAY SHOW THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO WRITE SIMPLE ACOUSTIC MUSIC WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE JAMES BLUNT AND WHILST RETAINING ANGER, PASSION AND A SENSE OF HUMOUR
FORMERLY OF FAR AND GRATITUDE JONAH MATRANGA HAS REINVENTED HIMSELF ONCE AGAIN WITH A LOOSE FREE-ROAMING APPROACH TO SONGWRITING THAT PUSHES HIS MUSIC BEYOND THE NORMAL SAD-SACK SINGER/SONGWRITER CLICHES AND CEMENTS HIM AS ONE OF MUSICS MOST CHARISMATIC, TUNEFUL AND PURISTS OF GEEKS
FORMER FRONTMAN OF BOSTON POP TRIO SIX GOING ON SEVEN, JOSHUA ENGLISH IS INSPIRED BY RAYMOND CARVER NOVELS AND AN OCEANS WORTH OF BLACK COFFEE, HIS INFECTIOUS MELODIES, VELVETY VOCALS AND ACERBIC LYRICISM ARE PROOF POSITIVE THAT HIS YEARS SPENT ON THE ROAD WERE NO T IN VAIN BUT TRAINING TO BE A TROUBADOUR SHARING STORIES YEARS IN THE MAKING.
