   About americana-uk
Welcome to the Americana-uk MySpace site.

Our website (http://www.americana-uk.com) is still our main space on the internet and you can find album reviews, interviews, features, a forum and all the usual gubbins there, but we’ve finally dragged ourselves kicking and screaming into the social networking (ugh, horrible phrase) world as well.

What you’ll find here are some tracks from our current faves (these will change at least monthly), a snapshot of gigs happening in the next few weeks (check the main site for full details) and probably the odd provocative blog or three. If we get really competent in the future then who knows, there might be videos and all sorts making an appearance, but for the moment we’re just happy to be here and begging people to be our virtual friends.

Dear Americana-UK, Thanks so much for the friendship. You have a wonderful group of songs here. I particularly enjoyed "Pass You By" and "We've Had Everything". Beautiful fiddle work and harmonies throughout. I hear some of the wonderful qualities I love so much in The Waterboys and Son Volt. I invite you to come on over and give a listen to my songs sometime. I've posted all ten tracks to my someday-to-be-released CD "East of Eden". It's a mixture of folk, country, and what I like to call "folk and roll". I'd be very open to any feedback you might have. Thanks for the fine tunes. Best of luck, Cap Wilhelm-Safian

On Saturday November 14th we have one hell of a line up for our monthly Americana Night @ The Grapes. WagonWheelMedia bring you four fantastic acts to Sheffield's premier musical venue for top live tunes, great beer and the best in alt-country records between bands. Joining us for this entertainment extravaganza will be the man described as "Manchester's answer to Gram Parsons”, Quiet Loner, the glorious harmonies of Liverpool's Sparkwood & 21, local favourites The Sicknotes, and to kick the night off we have a rare treat in the form of a solo/acoustic set from Roseville Grand frontman Neil McLarty. Doors open at 8pm and entry is just £4.

2 Chances to catch Christopher Rees live in London next week!!!



Wednesday 28th October 2009 'What's Cookin' @ The Sheepwalk,
Leytonstone, London


&

Thursday 29th October 'Countrier Than Thou' @ The Lock Tavern, Camden.
London




Following
recent tours with Kristin Hersh and The Handsome Family,
Christopher
Rees
brings the tremulous murder ballads and twisted rockabilly of
his highly acclaimed fourth album Devil's Bridge back to the
'Big Smoke'.




CHRISTOPHER REES


DEVIL'S BRIDGE


PRESS QUOTES


“Boasting
a delicious 50's twang...an increasingly accomplished songwriter in
full flight”. (Phil Alexander, Editor-in-chief. MOJO)



“Christopher
Rees has honed his narrative chops to fine effect. All splash echo and
rockabilly riffs...he makes room for fat dollops of bluegrass, country
and rustic folk, including a stomping banjo straight from the Blue
Ridge Mountains”. UNCUT ****



“A spit and sawdust holler that's
as close to a Southern hell-fire preacher as you can get hailing from
Cardiff. Very, very good”. MOJO (Live review from The Great Escape
Festival)
