Event information

Worry Dolls are a young female duo who met in Liverpool at an open mic night when they were 18, both red heads with guitars, on their chosen path of becoming solo singer songwriters, and both falling under the spell of 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'. Their great chemistry and love of harmony led them to starting a contemporary bluegrass band playing Nickel Creek & Alison Krauss songs. Paired for an opportunity to have their songwriting critiqued by Paul McCartney, they were inspired to join forces as Worry Dolls and could now be described with an almost telepathically linked songwriting force. Blending the tender urgency of Zoe Nicol's Irish-influenced voice with the fiery integrity of Rosie Jones' vocals and rhythmic guitar. Zoe transferred her fingerpicking skills to ukulele, followed by Earl Scruggs-style banjo, motivated by players like Emily Robison (Dixie Chicks).

The pair were drawn to London, where they have developing a burgeoning cult following. In autumn 2015 they made the decision to quit their lives in London to fly to Nashville and record their debut album, paired by personal recommendations with producer Neilson Hubbard, a veteran of East Nashville's music scene. Set to be released on January 27th 2017 on all outlets via Bread & Butter Music.

Zoe Nicol's fleet banjo picking and warm, country tones weave into Rosie Jones' grittier, pastoral-punk overtures on nostalgic songs of longing hearts and leaving trains" - MOJO

"Great harmonies and stirring folk-pop songs. Has Appalachian flourishes but owes as much to clever pop songwriting as rootsier influences" - R2 Magazine

"Fabulous songwriting and spine-tingling harmony vocals" - CMP Magazine

"Terrific rootsy music" - Paul Sexton, Radio 2
