Black*Scarr / Danny Jones

Event information

"Catchy, chorus friendly, with lyrics that will strike a chord as well as raise a wry smile, these fairy tales of East London are every bit as resonant as the one of New York"

Black*Scarr are Johnny Black and Emma Scarr, an East London duo formed by two singer songwriters with different styles and influences, whose co-writing has collided to produce a collection of songs that move audiences to laughter and tears. Joined by Steve Bottcher on electric guitar, mandolin and dobro, and Brad Wray on bass, this urban folk/country band perform songs full of stories and themes that are modern but classic-sounding and timeless, personal and everyday, still universal. Black*Scarr have become known for live performances bursting with energy and chemistry. Prepare to tap your toes to upbeat melodic country tunes and be touched by hard-hitting, poetic lyrics that will stay with you.

"Such is the exuberance of the music and the delivery that it’s impossible not to tap your feet and join in and sing along with the misery" FOLK RADIO UK
"They have talent in every pore... Emma has a gorgeously ‘lived in’ and occasionally ‘world weary’ quality on the songs that she inhabits like an Oscar winning actress" THE ROCKING MAGPIE

Danny Jones is a singer/guitarist. He comes from a folkie background and he sings old and new, often with a nod to his home town of Liverpool.
