The Lost Highway

Event information

Michael O'Neill

We have a real treat in store this month. Flying in from Gig Harbor WA (near Seattle), Michael ONeill will be showcasing a new collection. This singer/songwriter with a “roots-rock” history and a soulful ease carries his listener into a time and place reminiscent of steel strings, guitar heroes, and great story-tellers like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. A living music legend, O'Neill comes armed with vignettes of open-eyed romance, highway drama, and hard-earned tenderness – vocalized with the assurance and attitude that comes only from experience.

Anthony Duke

Born with an Irish soul and an English heart inherited from his Irish and English parents, Anthony began life in Irelands 3rd capital - Kilburn, a colourful community steeped in the traditions of an appreciation of good music.A trip to Nashville and live performance during the Americana Music Festival led to a song writing session with Grammy award winner Bobby E Boyd, who has scored hits with The Rascal Flatts and Garth Brooks. The collaboration resulted in the aching melody and sensuous lyrics of ’May You Be Loved’ the title track of Anthony’s new album.

The album has been picking up some great reviews, along with airplay on both regional BBC and well respected Country/Americana Radio in the UK, Europe and US.

His live shows are filled with emotive original tunes and stylish arrangements of classic hits that rock and twang in all the right places.

Dan Shears

Dan Shears has the ability to make audiences swoon while, at the same time, casting forth an air of unease with his intoxicating hybrid of rich romanticism and brutal intensity. Embodying the essences of European folk and bluegrass as well as echoing the guitar-based indie stylings of The Smiths and Radiohead, Shears can gently pluck at your heartstrings while, at the same time, delicately slipping them around your neck.
