If he plays in your town/city do yourself a huge favour by going to see him! You won't be sorry.

This site is dedicated to Alt. Country, Americana, Blues, Folk, even No Depression, call it what you will! In the end it's all American Roots Music! There are and will continue to be c.d. reviews, gig reviews, lists of forthcoming gigs in and around the Brighton area and much more besides! The Histories of American Roots and Blues are based on a series of lectures that I gave a few years ago, with much more to be added to these and with the format gradually changing. The book reviews are likely to be just occasional, time to read much, being at a premium! The radio playlists are self explanatory and as with much of the rest of the content, may gradually evolve.
