The Green Rock River Band + Johnny Campbell - Boo Sutcliffe Band
The Green Rock River Band is an eight-piece band from London, England. The band has come together over several years, merging Old Time, Americana, British Music Hall and Folk into an explosive and memorable live set that has established itself on the UK acoustic folk circuit as one of the leading loud, brash and energetic groups.
Fire and brimstone story telling weaves its way throughout the songs, with harmonies and dirty gravel filled lead vocals. All underscored by untamed fiddle lines, sultry jazz fused trombone and thumping bass, the washboard and drums always inspiring audiences everywhere to get up out of their seats. Quality song writing and musical arrangements are at the heart of the GRRB repertoire keeping live sets fresh, exciting and at times moving.
"One of Folks brightest rising stars" - Johnny Campbell has been singing and performing live for 10 years with Punk bands in his younger days to performing across UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, USA and has supported BBC Folk award nominees and winners performers such as Stick In the Wheel, Lankum, Daoiri Farrell, Ewan McLennan and many more.
''The recurring theme of forced migration, caused by war or needing to work runs through the album. This enhances the recording which has a real feel of the field recordings of early folk song'' Fatea Magazine
''Here are songs of poverty and hardship drawing from diverse
sources...it's an album I could keep on repeat'' Folking.com
