Abbey Arts presents: John Douglas of Trashcan Sinatras with special guest Lily Vakili of Vakili Band live at Ballard HomesteadJOHN DOUGLAS: https://johndouglas.bandcamp.com
" Following up from a busy and successful year of music prowess, involving the reissue and UK Top-40 charting of Trashcan Sinatras' debut album 'Cake', 33 years since its original release, John Douglas has stepped into the center stage, releasing his debut solo album supported by a run of concerts around the UK and North America. One of Scotland’s finest songwriters, and a founding member of Trashcan Sinatras, Douglas has opened a new chapter in his life with the release of his eponymous debut album, via Reveal Records. Presenting an intimate snapshot of the talent, charisma and depth of this celebrated songsmith. The album was recorded live at Kyoti Studio in Glasgow with producer Mark Freegard (New Model Army, Lush, The Breeders, Del Amitri, Marillion). John’s decades of music as a vital member of Trashcan Sinatras, and now also a solo performer are based around an unwavering love for stories, for creating moments, and diving into a need for human connection that only happens through the power of songs. From living room shows, to clubs and small theatres, from festivals, to large events, you will always find John connecting with his fans, old and new, and making a difference with his music."
-Artist Bio
LILY VAKILI: https://vakiliband.com/
After spending the past year performing up and down the East Coast, Vakili Band frontwoman, Lily Vakili, returns to her singer-songwriter roots with a string of solo dates across the West Coast and Midwest supporting John Douglas’ Lost in North America Tour - Part One.
“Returning to the stage as a solo artist feels like coming full circle as well as an artistic metamorphosis,” Vakili says. “Someone once told me, just keep on, keep improving your art, keep performing,” she adds. “Don’t isolate yourself, stay open and say YES.”
Lily has just released a 4 song EP titled Tannersville in support of the tour. Her latest offering is described as "all compelling the way the first Patti Smith music gripped a listener, the Swans’ Jarboe enthralled or even Nico startled." - Americana Highways
