Mama Red & the Dark Blues Quintet – Acoustic Show
Mama Red & the Dark Blues are bringing you their new tunes raw and acoustic, so make sure you’re strapped into your seats because these ones are pure hard hitting harmony.
If you’re in for a heapin’ helpin’ of country influenced heartstring tuggers you’ve come to the right place.
Mama Red will be calling out to the sister circle with new tales of darkness and destiny. The tunes speak of fear and fierceness, redemption and rebirth and painful, radical truth.
We’re stripping it right back this time to feature heavy vocal harmonies…if the Dixie Chicks and Nick Cave had a love child, she would almost certainly be a Dark Blue.
Harry Deluxe, Melanie Bainbridge & Therese Cruise are backed, acoustically, by the incredible, Almore James on guitar, and John Wilson on bass.
