Dr. Martens FREEDM Studio
Peter Bruntnell, Michael Weston King & Jeb Loy Nicols
Three of the finest modern singer songwriters around today,
come together for an incredible night
of song, stories, dark humor and light melancholia
Jeb Loy Nichols is a restless soul. He has toured and played with John Martyn, Richard Thompson, Robert Cray, John Hiatt, Horace Andy and Lucinda Williams. His current Album, Days Are Mighty has been described by The Guardian, as ‘an absolute campfire classic. A soulful record, full of slow burning melancholia”
Michael
Weston King is admired by the likes of Chris Hillman, Ron Sexsmith, and the legendary Townes van Zandt (who covered
one of Michael's songs) he draws his influences from Pop Music to Folk, from Country music to Soul. UnCut wrote "The
band who must rate as England's very own Uncle Tupelo. A truly thrilling collection."
For
the past six years he has been a solo troubadour, touring all over the world, with the likes of Nick Cave, John Cale, Roger
McGuinn, Steve Earle, and many more, and releasing five beautiful, articulate albums along the way. His most recent
album, A New Kind of Loneliness, including contributions from Chris Hillman, Ron Sexsmith and Jackie Leven, has been
widely hailed as his finest to date, "Like Tim Hardin, Phil Ochs or Townes van Zandt, King transmutes squalor and self-laceration into
pure gold" Mojo

Hailed
by The Independent as 'one of the finest songwriters in Britain' and classed by Rolling Stone as 'England's
best kept musical secret', Peter Bruntnell is currently putting the finishing touches to the acoustic-based psychedelic-tinged new
album Peter And The Murder Of Crows (out on Loose Music in September) - the follow up to Ghost In A Spitfire - the album
he recorded with members of Son Volt and Black Grape in 2005. Now based in Devon where he indulges in his
passion
for surfing he's just as happy hooking up with his band and playing the big stages with the likes of Squeeze and Son Volt
as he is when touring the country solo armed only with an acoustic guitar. Either way you'll be guaranteed to be
entertained by one of the most powerfully understated performers around.
