Burning Duck Comedy – Jonny & the Baptists: Love York and Hate Bastards
After a triumphant debut show here on the 2017 Lefty Scum tour, Jonny & the Baptists return to spread the love. Mostly.
Hands Off Gretel + As Sirens Fall
Hands Off Gretel have created the perfect soundtrack of sugar-coated grunge-punk to vent and rail against the issues of body image, mental health, celebrity, childhood and loneliness all of which were addressed from a fiercely female, unapologetic, feminist perspective.
BC Camplight + Porridge Radio – **SOLD OUT**
And finally, Brian Christinzio brings his BC Camplight to York on the back of their most successful release yet, 2018’s gloomy pop opus Deportation Blues.
Andy Fairweather-Low & The Low Riders
Legendary former Amen Corner singer and guitar player for the stars, including stints alongside Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Bill Wyman, Andy Fairweather-Low brings his band to The Crescent in September!
Mark Wynn
After our highly entertaining Mark Wynn & Mark Wynn show in February, we’re very pleased to be able to tell you were all at it again in June. Whilst likely to have some similarities to that grand display, there will definitely be no Timmy The Tiger.
The Midnight Hour w/ Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Younge
The Midnight Hour is a collaborative project between two titans of US hip hop, Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) & producer Adrian Younge: fusing orchestral jazz, soul, R&B and blues, harkening back to the bygone era of the Harlem renaissance, whilst exploring the roots of hip hop.
Charlie Parr, JD Wilkes + Boss Caine
A fantastic triple bill. Charlie Parr returns and this time he’s hooked up with JD Wilkes of the Legendary Shack Shakers and local legend Boss Caine to bring the house right down. This is our kind of party!
