Baskery

Event information

Hugely popular when they appeared at ACE Space last year to a capacity audience these queens of banjopunk are expected to sell-out again. Three Swedish sisters have played music since they were old enough to hold an instrument. Baskery play a combination of classic ‘roots music and Americana’ with a twist of rule breaking punk turn this much loved style of music on it’s head. Their sound oozes style and playfulness and has helped them accrue a number of plaudits and accolades.
The three sisters can’t recall when or why they started playing, the music’s always just been there. In their late teens, the sisters joined forces with their dad, who for decades was a one man band playing old blues and country tunes for a living.
Providing support is Maddie Morris, an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful and refreshingly unique, they take traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues. Passionately political, yet gently understated, this is music that deftly treads the path between art and activism.
