THE DREAMING SPIRES

Event information

Brighthelmstone and Wildwood Promotions are delighted to present another Americana treat at 'Live At The Palmeira' Hove's home of Americana.

We are delighted that the UK's new frontrunners of rasping Americana tinged power-pop The Dreaming Spires grace The Palmeira stage.

On the latest release “Brothers in Brooklyn” The Dreaming Spires more or less ditch any attempt at sounding artificially ‘modern’ (which of course usually means sounding like a forgotten Flock of Seagulls B-side). This album unashamedly celebrates and name-checks the artists, songs and second-hand vinyl the band love, as does their ongoing club night Covered in Glory at The Betsey Trotwood, where they’ve so far gathered friends to play songs by Big Star, Gram Parsons, The Band and The Byrds.

Having worked with Supergrass producer ‘Dr’ Sam Williams on several tracks, guitarist Nick Fowler suggested the band could steal into his then workplace the Oxford University Music Faculty to record in those august surroundings; they did so to finish off the record.
