His status is rising as his current album, “Atlantic” got a five-star review from Maverick Magazine while The Telegraph declared it to be among the best 23 albums of 2014.

He has toured and/or performed with the likes of Vince Gill, Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale and Mary Gauthier.

Also on the bill is Angel Show, who hails from Chickamauga in Georgia.

Noted for her subtle guitar playing and excellent lyrics, rising star Angel makes her Scottish debut and will be performing songs from her latest album, “Fortune Tellers”.

She has also written songs for no less a star than Alison Krauss.

Ricky Ross (Another Country – BBC Radio Scotland) likes both of them, saying:

Newcomers to the devilish duo now know what long-standing fans have been raving about.

Book online

Jayhawks’ founder member, Mark Olson continues to create and record – and he’ll showcase his latest solo release at a show at Glasgow’s CCA on April 22.

The singer-songwriter has been responsible for some of the most blissful, genre-defining Alternative Country and Americana ever recorded but on his first solo album for five years, ‘Good-bye Lizelle,’ Olson strikes out in an altogether different direction, resulting in songs that prove both poetic and mystical.

The album – written and recorded across several continents and featuring his Norwegian wife, Ingunn Ringvold on vocals– has been attracting hugely favourable reviews from the critics.

Of the new Olson album, Folk Radio UK wrote: “there are no bad songs here, just degrees of excellence.”

Mark Olson is one of the most recognised and revered figures in the Americana music genre so a show in Glasgow is a ‘must-see’.

His music has brought pleasure to so many people over the years with The Jayhawks, other bands and solo so it’s a real big deal that he’s agreed to include Glasgow in a major tour.”

Glasgow’s very own Monica Queen will open up the show.

In that month his latest album, the ten-track “The Embers Of Time” will also be released, an endeavour he’s described as his “surreal expat therapy record.”

Now based in Spain, the new recording features some his most complex song writing to date with confessional lyrics and Glen Campbell-style countrypolitan, radio friendly arrangements.

He is an emotional and whole-hearted performer who leaves a positive mark on audiences wherever he plays.

It’s been a while since Josh Rouse played in Glasgow so we’re pleased to welcome him back, especially as he’ll be promoting his new album while dipping into an impressive back catalogue.

Internationally acclaimed modern folk trio Lau announce a European tour in support of their highly anticipated forthcoming new album (due for release in May 2015 on Reveal Records).

Lau are three highly individual and extremely gifted musicians – Martin Green (accordion and electronics) Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle, fx) and Kris Drever (vocals, guitars). For a decade they have been stretching folk music’s boundaries further and exploring new musical territory with each release and concert tour.

2012’s ‘Race The Loser’ album was nominated for Scottish Album of the Year and featured in many critics best of year lists. Lau appeared on BBC TV’s Later… with Jools Holland extending their audience considerably in the process and won their fourth BBC Radio Folk Award for Best Group a few months later.

For their new album, The Elysian Quartet, a group that share Lau’s fearless desire to create something new through improvisation, will feature and the new recordings are produced by Brooklyn based artist and multi-instrumentalist Joan Wasser (Joan As Police Woman). What comes next from Lau promises to be their greatest musical recorded statement yet.

The multi-talented all female Boston bluegrass band, Della Mae are heading for a date at Glasgow’s Oran Mor in July.

Their 2013 breakthrough album, The World Oft Can Be, was a Grammy nomination, no less, and this helped establish the five-strong group’s credentials in the music business.

With songs steeped in tradition yet clearly rooted in a contemporary world, Della Mae play with the verve and confidence to be expected from musicians at the top of their game.

Their musical approach is to mix great vocals and harmonies with highly skilled musicianship.

They have a great collection of songs so this midsummer show is certainly set to be a hot one.

The band spent six weeks touring Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as cultural ambassadors for a US State Department programme, called American Music Abroad.

This, the band’s second release on Blue Rose Records, is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed LPs ‘The Long Haul’ (2013) and ‘Westerner’ (2009).

Over recent years, The Marshals have acquired an excellent reputation as a live band, having toured the UK as headliners in their own right, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Marty Stuart, and Fallen Angels Club favourites like Chuck Prophet, Tift Merritt, Richmond Fontaine, John Murry, Sturgill Simpson, and Jason & The Scorchers. In addition, the band has recorded radio sessions for BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 2, garnering the support of the legendary ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris in the process.

John Murry will provide plenty of musical fireworks when he returns to Glasgow for a gig at The Admiral Bar on Thursday November 5.

The scarily talented singer/songwriter from Mississippi is a compelling performer who blesses audiences with raw, brooding material and mesmerising acoustic sounds.

His music is equally refined, fiery and wry – and all the more potent for it.

His epic 2013 album, The Graceless Age transfixed listeners, beguiled critics into five-star reviews and gave John a lot of renewed heart as he stepped into the spotlight.

His songs are true-tale gems: not least his fightback from a death’s door overdose on the brutal but classic track, Little Coloured Balloons, which can bring tears to the eyes of the performer and his audience.

He also has a delightful black humour and lightness in story telling that make his shows terrific, not-to-be-missed events.

“John Murry is a cult figure in many ways with more and more people wishing that his music could reach out to more and more people,” said Kevin Morris, of the Fallen Angels Club.

“This will be an electrifying show from a singer/songwriter who digs deep in every song he writes and performs in a no-holds barred way.”

“What a glorious way to treat an audience.” – Mike Ritchie, Americana-uk
