| Wed 3rd Mar | The Lantern Theatre, Sheffield | The Often Herd Transcending the traditional boundaries of bluegrass music, they might resemble an American string band, complete with driving energy, tight vocal harmonies and dazzling instrumental interplay, their vibrant, transatlantic sound is deeply coloured by their surroundings; the striking natural and industrial landscapes of Northern England. This unique approach won them the title of Best European Bluegrass Band 2018 at the prestigious La Roche Bluegrass Festival in France. Following sell out performances across the country, including round the corner at Cafe9, we're delighted to to be welcoming them to The Lantern Theatre. The evening will be opened with set from local artist Duncan Parsons. Expect warmth, humour, and good music! |
