Barrelhouse weaves together the separate threads of Lucky Oceans’s western swing, Bill Lawrie’s folk and country blues and Jessie Gordon’s swing and gospel stylings, and from it all they create a tapestry that ranges from old-world blues to new-world folk, swinging gently through bluegrass and soul along the way.
The trio will be joined by an all star rhythm section comprising Karl Florisson on double bass and Bronton Ainsworth on drums.
The repertoire will include some of Lucky’s wonderful original songs, including the heart breaker ‘The Bell’, as well as Bill’s original impressionistic folk gems and some of Jessie’s brand new original gospel and blues songs.
