Austin Lucas/Drag The River/Cory Branan

Event information

A superb triple bill!

AUSTIN LUCAS (Indiana)
The indie circuit’s peppered with lots of hip young bucks flirting with the twang but this Midwesterner’s voice will put you in a spell. It’s one of the most pristine exemplars of country music’s honeyed heartbreak in ages. Making it cut even deeper are echoes of bluegrass and gospel, and we’re proud to welcome Austin back to the Windmill for the third time in as many years. Tired of the same old same old country-flavoured troubadors? Then Austin is the remedy.

DRAG THE RIVER (Colorado)
Playing tonight as an acoustic duo, Drag The River is composed of veteran punk-rockers Chad Price and Jon Snodgrass who were previously in ALL, but it still plays country-fried roots-rock that's about as authentic as it gets.

CORY BRANAN (Texas)
Some of the recent press out of the USA has compared bright new talent Cory Branan to Ryan Adams, but he’s not up his own arse., Rather, with his upfront style, sardonic lyrics and general wit we’d bracket him in with the likes of Robbie Fulks or Lucero’s Ben Nichols.
’Intense dynamics, deep humor, brave production and heavy songwriting: A new voice emerges to run with the greats.’ - Playboy
’ Branan avoids anachronism and shoots straight for timelessness...his sharp, simple lyrics recall the economical, almost scriptural poetry practiced by John Prine or, before him, Bob Dylan.’- Nashville Rage
