Event information

Amelia White is known in American media as “Queen of the East Nashville Underground.” - No Depression

Jon Byrd is as old-school country crooner as it gets. Born in Alabama, lived in Georgia and residing in Nashville, he’s got the Southern accent, the hat, and the music chops that thrill audiences around the world - a honky tonk show thousands of miles East of Tennessee.

His duo partner is the legendary Paul Niehaus (Calexico, Iron + Wine, Justin Townes Earle) and is one of the most extraordinary pedal steel players you’ll ever see. Jon + Paul have a brand new record, All Your Mistakes, already drawing widespread critical acclaim.

Critics on both sides of the pond rave about her, from Rolling Stone + NPR to Sir Bob Harris OBE + Ralph McLean of BBC. Amelia’s 2016 record was a Top 10 Country Record of the Year in Telegraph alongside Buddy Miller and Bonnie Raitt. Her new record, Love I Swore, is her career masterpiece, produced by the illustrious Kim Richey.

The critics on Jon Byrd: “Subtly refining the folk-country singer-songwriter template.” - Jewly Hight, NPR

“This is the real deal, full of juicy tunes - the woman just oozes cool. With an album as good as this, it’s truly an appointment not to be missed, a chance to see East Nashville’s finest at the top of her game. Take it.” - Americana UK
