Simon Stanley Ward & The Shadows of Doubt / The True Believers

Event Information

Over the last decade, Simon has been playing his original music with his band The Shadows of Doubt in pubs, music venues, theatres and festivals in London, across the UK and in Northern Spain. Described as a country singer at heart with a streak of the surreal running through him, his live show is engaging, energetic and constantly evolving. At it's best his performances can be gut-wretchingly moving and moments later silly, self deprecating and hilarious. His influences come from far a wide and include Elvis, Bob Dylan and John Prine.

"Home grown talent! It sounded wonderful!” Bob Harris
"Pulls off the tricky balancing act of mixing out-of-left field humour with real emotion and top notched musicianship. Bags of wit and wisdom" Three Chords and The Truth
"Startlingly honest country. Not many artists are quite that open at just where they are at. Its honest and its all the better for it. Undoubtedly a name is watch on the UK americana scene” Ralph McClean BBC Radio Ulster

The True Believers are a six-piece Country, Folk & Americana band.
