Jo Carley And The Old Dry Skulls – Voodoo Vaudeville Blues

Jo Carley And The Old Dry Skulls combine the sounds and rhythms of the Blues, Skiffle, Calypso and Rock n Roll with an old-timey vaudeville twist. This trio from England are known for their unique live show, transporting the audience to a bygone era when witches and black magic were rife. Horror stories are delivered over sublime upbeat music that makes people wanna come down and shake their bones!

Voodoo has found it’s way onto British shores and Jo Carley is the voodoo queen sent to predict hell in a way to entertain and amaze you. This demonic music-hall mistress tells tales of terror in old-timey fashion. Backed by her song-writing partner and husband Tim Carley, a man of considerable size who plays “syncopated rhythms to shake your soul” on a beaten up archtop guitar, kick drum and rattlin’ shoe, with fellow fiend James Le Huray providing the final ingredients of the spell, in the shape of double bass and banjo.
