A
gig
held at The Hen & Chicken
on Tuesday 28th April. The event starts at 20:00.
According to American music legend Ray Wylie Hubbard Carson McHone "writes songs like her life depends on it."
Starting off by playing in bars in her native Austin Texas, and creating a honky tonk classic with her debut release Goodluck Man, her new record Carousel, captures a period of remarkable growth, shining a light not only on McHone's deep country roots, but on her development as a modern, alt-country storyteller.
Dark, driving and evocative, with evocative and confessional, according to Mojo magazine “Here is an artist just starting to hit her storytelling stride and her journey is going to be well worth following.”
Native Harrow
“Laurel Canyon-style folk rock with shades of Joni Mitchell
★★★★”
— THE TIMES
“- East Coast duo summons the spirit of bygone folk-soul -
Singer and guitarist Devin Tuel resides in Upstate New York, though her spiritual home is California, specifically boho Laurel Canyon at the turn of the ‘70s. Alongside multi-instrumentalist Stephen Harms, Tuel records as Native Harrow, her wondrous voice evoking both Judee Sill and early Joni Mitchell at their most wistful, particularly on “Can’t Go On Like This” and “Hung Me Out To Dry”. The use of vintage gear adds weight to the sensory impression of another era, as the duo (plus co-producer Alex Hall) craft timeless folk-rooted confections and, on the organ-fired “Something You Have”, Muscle Shoals-like- Southern soul. ”
