Louisiana-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gill Landry creates gritty, blues-inflected folk tunes, with a rootsy Southern American charm.

He joined Old Crow Medicine Show in the early noughties following the hiatus of founding member Chris Fuqua, staying on after his return and bagging two Grammys in the process.

Releasing his debut solo album in 2007, he followed it up with the self-released 2011 album ‘Piety & Desire’ which saw collaborators include the likes of Brandi Carlile, The Felice Brothers, And Jolie Holland. He’s described as a songwriter who “bares his soul through a deeply personal, elegant collection of tracks that functions like a song cycle of heartbreak,” (ThankFolkForThat).

Plus support from Joe Strouzer

Ages: 14+ (Under 18 to be accompanied by an adult)

This is a Colston Hall Presents unreserved seated show at The Wardrobe Theatre, 25 West St, Bristol BS2 0DF

Gill Landry

Skeleton At The Banquet is the new album from two-time Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Gill Landry.

Landry was originally from Louisiana and started out as a busker on the streets of New Orleans before becoming a contributing member of the band Old Crow Medicine Show with whom he recorded 4 albums and toured from 2004 to 2014. He’s released 4 solo albums to critical acclaim, featuring such artists as Laura Marling, Brandi Carlile, Klara Söderberg (First Aid Kit), The Felice Brothers and Karen Elson among many others. Landry has toured extensively internationally in his own right, and has also supported Mumford & Sons, Brandi Carlile, Ben Harper, Laura Marling, Ben Howard and Bruce Hornsby.

Skeleton At The Banquet is Gill Landry’s fifth solo studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s Love Rides A Dark Horse (Loose/ATO). “This album is a series of reflections and thoughts on the collective hallucination that is America,” he tells us. “With a love song or two thrown in for good measure. I wrote it from within the refuge of a small flat, in a small village in western France where I spent last summer. I found it to be a good place for seeing the forest through the trees, so to speak.”

Joe Strouzer

Joe Strouzer sings songs from his travels from Newcastle to New Orleans and a hell of a lot of places in between. His driving resonator guitar is coupled with true harmonica voodoo and biting songwriting of modern trouble, heart-pains, moonlit trysts, drinking and devilment, peppered with a rich history of blues.

2015 saw the release of his studio debut, Bottle Broke, with 9th Ward Tape, a collection of old blues and traditional American songs following in summer 2016, recorded straight to tape in New Orleans, Louisiana.
