Event information

The Long Haul are a five-piece band based in Brighton, and play a mix of classic country and modern Americana. They recently appeared at the inaugural British Country Music Festival in Blackpool and played Country 2 Country at London’s 02. The album combines the classic country sound of pedal-steel guitar, Fender Telecaster and upright bass with a sharp lyrical take on different aspects of life in the 21st century.

The band recently filmed a video at Bob Harris’s Under the Apple Tree studio to accompany the release, and double-bass player Scott Warman was one of the musicians asked by legendary BBC presenter Bob to appear on his recent charity release of Stand By Me, alongside a host of world-famous artists, including Mark Knopfler, Duane Eddy, Rick Wakeman, the Shires and Peter Frampton. www.longhaulband.com
