Dick Philpot's Americana Kinda Thing
The Sound Lounge: Wednesday April 12th, 7pm
The Sound Lounge's regular Americana night returns with your host Dick Philpot who will be introducing The Tupelos and JP Sampson to the stage.
The Tupelos are Tricia Davies Nearn, David Krupski, Matt Barker and Stephen McNairn. They channel power pop and US college rock into their own brand of Americana. Influences from R.E.M and Sugar to Teenage Fanclub, Wilco, Son Volt and all the usual alt-country suspects. J P Sampson songs of cruel beauty in the wide open spaces of love, South London's JP Sampson explores workaday heartbreak tangled in haunting melodies for broken dreams and the lives we passed by. Gently understated, plaintive yet defiant - songs that keep us walking toward the horizon.
Smitten by the grittiness and storytelling of classic Americana, tempered by a youth spent playing hard, loud & loose in London Indie bands, JP Sampson mines the spirit of Gram Parsons, Lucinda Williams and Townes Van Zandt to bring a uniquely personal perspective to songs of love, betrayal, loss and hope.
Tickets are FREE and brought to you as part of The Sound Lounge's initiative to ensure that every member of the community has access to high quality cultural events.
