pick me radio gigs are BACK and weāre super excited to present another trans-Atlantic show on August 20th at
@waterintobeer !
Liam Grant (MA, USA) is a representative of the American Primitive movement, a style that combines neo-traditional country-folk elements with unconventional compositional and improvisational approaches. His first album āAmoskeagā was released by Carbon Records and Feeding Tube in 2023. His latest album āProdigal Sonā was released this year by VHF records, and has just been named one of the best albums of the year so far by
@thequietus magazine :
āHis trajectory is through an obsession with the Joe Bussard / Fahey / 78rpm country and bluegrass zone, later filtered and infused with the broad influences of DIY and underground culture.ā
Joining Liam on the bill will be London-based Evie Hilyer-Ziegler, a fiddler, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for her intuitive playing and warm, gritty sound. In recent months, she has been exploring repertoire which traces her family history through Scandinavia, America, and the British Isles. Evie also writes and performs with her projects Fen and Cusk, and has just returned from touring Wales with Peregrine Circus.
It will be folk, it will be experimental, it will be American, it will also not be American. Canāt wait. This is a small show so get your ticks asap if youāre interested! Link in bio!!
And look out for more epic gigs from pick me :) xoxo ten & clara
