Support is provided by Louie Newlands. Louie Newlands plays improvised acoustic Guitar music that, whilst heavily inspired by the American Primivitist movement, has its own distinct style which stems from a lack of formal training and 8 years drumming for free improv band Mildred Maude. He has played numerous shows around Bristol in 2022, with no two sets being the same.
Guitarists Marisa Anderson and William Tyler distill deeply rooted and varied traditions into distinctive voices all their own. Anderson and Tyler are each unyielding in their desire to extend through those traditions and the confines of “guitar music” to craft music at once intimate and expansive, conversational and transcendent. The duo’s debut collaborative album tethers together their singular voices into unified narratives that glisten, drive, and sway. On Lost Futures, Anderson and Tyler’s guitars dance through lush arrangements and pastoral duets serpentine and reverent.
