RICHARD DAWSON

Event information

Richard Dawson begins his UK tour following the release of his 'Nothing Important' album. With support from the legendary Vibracathedral Orchestra.

"Nothing Important is a remarkable record - at times deeply, painfully intimate, but also witty, bawdy, surreal, disquieting, nostalgic, brash and fearlessly individual. While Dawson draws loosely on folk traditions, be it from the North East of England, the Appalachian Mountains or the Gulf of Arabia, his sound also brings to mind more modern sources - Beefheart, Earth, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Bill Orcutt, Sun City Girls, tiny glimpses of drone, minimalism, avant-metal, math-rock, psychedelia. It's all of these things and yet none of them."
