The 19th Street Band are delighted to be on tour with their recently released album, Near Perfect! From touching on the heartstrings to lifting the spirits to remembering that life is just a beautiful mess, these songs capture the lively energy of The 19th Street Band. The band also pays tribute to Philip Donnelly with a recording of his #1 hit song, “Livin’ in These Troubled Times”. The album is currently receiving air play on a hundred different radio stations throughout the UK, including BBC Radio and is receiving rave reviews from all the leading music magazines throughout the UK and Ireland.“An album of positive intensity, a sound that drives home the point that perfection is exactly what you present, it is your story, it is your tale told and created, nobody really has the right to question its own authority of pleasure that it offers. Near Perfect…impeccable and unspoiled.” – Ian D. Hall, Liverpool Sound and Vision
“In truth, there isn’t a single track that doesn’t earn its place here.” – Dai Jeffries, Folking.com
Characterized by strong vocal harmonies, The 19th Street Band brings together a constellation of high-energy Americana, hillbilly, gypsy-rockin', good time music to engage every crowd. They ignite an audience with their passion and spirit. Caolaidhe, pronounced “Cally”, Davis (guitar/harmonica/vocalist) along with fiddle/mandolin/vocalist/partner-in-crime, Meghan Davis, create a joy-filled chemistry that no crowd can resist. Add to the mix the very talented Greg Hardin (bass/vocals) & Patty Dougherty (drums), and this band will have everyone enthralled.
Tony Villiers and the Villains People try to pin down their sound…are they roots, folk, blues, country, Americana, but none of that matters, they have their own sound, their own original songs, their own cutting edge. In one moment they sound like something from The Big Pink, Woodstock, circa ’68, the next a skiffle-style John Prine or bluesey Van Morrison or a wailing Townes Van Zandt. These boys love good music and they wear their hearts on their sleeves and play music like their lives depend on it.
