Acoustic Night @ The Stock Room, April 21st

[Amsterdamned 10]

On Tuesday April 21st we're venturing down to The Stock Room for the latest of our acoustic type nights. We'll be joined by four great local acts in the shape of Dave Sleney, The Marygreenes, Danny Foy and Dead Flowers. Doors open at 7pm with the live music kicking off shortly after 8pm. Entry is free!

 

 

***DAVE SLENEY***

 

Singer/songwriter Dave Sleney heads up the evening's bill. As well as the country tinged indie pop sounds of his former band, Dave is currently performing a glut of heartfelt new material in the downbeat singer/songwriter tradition. You can no doubt expect his own interpretations of a few classic pop tunes too.

***THE MARYGREENES***

 

Local act The Marygreenes have been making a name for themselves over the last year or so at various acoustic nights around the city. The popular trio recently expanded from a duo, which saw the addition of a little banjo to their haunting and mellow sound. The female led vocals further soften the folk and country tinged sound.

***DANNY FOY***

 

Having stepped out from behind the drum kit of his former band Beach Buggy, Danny Foy brings to the mic his humour laced psychedelic folk tales. Unique and highly entertaining.

***DEAD FLOWERS***

 

Dead Flowers are the newest country/roots duo to come from Sheffield - known throughout the world as a hotbed of country music. Put together by two old pals - Trevor (Guitar/bottleneck/instruments) and Duncan (Guitar/vox) - after Trevor finally talked Duncan into going back 'behind the mic' after a 10 or so year hiatus. Trevor has played in a huge number of bands throughout the years, covering all genres from punk through indie via experimental and bluegrass. A couple of notable names from his past include Pig 64 and Blind Mole Rat among many many others. Duncan has played in a couple of bands throughout the years, covering genres that mostly encompassed metal and punk. There are no really notable names but we'll mention The Eternal and Numb anyway. Drawn together by a love of almost every style of music, Duncan and Trevor regularly play acoustic sessions in local pubs (Fagans especially!) playing a wide variety of music and styles. Dead Flowers brings some of this versatility together under the vague banner of country to bring you some covers, some tunes, some originals.
