The Roundheels are a three-piece
acoustic band with a fondness for
bluegrass and American folk. On
closer inspection they also turn out
to be an unlikely reincarnation of
Wantage’s finest, Cargo Cult. Gone
are the long, spaced-out epics; in
come short, catchy tunes that sound
vaguely familiar, though most are
self-penned. Sharyn Salwowski still
has a voice of rare purity, nicely set
off by the banjo and acoustic guitar,
weaving wistful, slightly dark tales.
This years festival is headlined by Billy Bragg (Friday), Seth Lakeman (Sunday) and Peatbog Faeries (Saturday) with many more top artists also performing incl the award winning The Demon Barbers.
Wahey! What a groovy energetic sound, you had me dancing in my seat. I like the way the guitar and banjo interact that's very tight. And the singer's got a brilliant voice, love the howlings. Don't know much about bluegrass music but i think you remind me a bit of Gram Parsons. Bet you're great live.
Come and join us... either for one or both!! TWO great shows - 2.00pm in The Unicorn Theatre Fantastic tiny historical theatre with lorry-loads of atmosphere! Great opportunity to see top bands in a unique setting. 7.00pm in The Stocks Bar, Abingdon The whole Ratpack gang go bigger, bolder and louder!! Brilliant day of music..
Thank YOU, Roundheels. We absolutely loved it. We had a brilliant night and we'd love to have you back soon. Altogether superb. Thanks loads and see you all soon. xx
I've recently found myself rather taken with your sounds. Very much so.
So very, very cruisy, it seems you three write the best of whatever genre in which you care to endeavour. Keep it up. Then...
Come to Australia and play at the Tamworth Country music festival! HAH!
:P
Sharyn, I miss you! ♥
OH! ... You can all give the new Vitus track a listen if you like too. Set Me Free (Soon be re-named, and revised, again... but still. LISTEN NONE THE LESS)
