NEW CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENTS 21ST MARCH 2027 & 14TH MAY 2027 – The Hooten Hallers & Smoove & Turrell

The Hooten Hallers
21st March 2027

Celebrating 20 years in 2027, Missouri’s The Hooten Hallers have been tearing up the road, blending blues, garage rock, country, punk, and jazz into a sound that’s truly their own. The band’s high-octane live shows must be experienced to be believed, with their raucous jams, tight vocal harmonies, and danceable grooves that make for a wild night and an unforgettable music experience.

This powerhouse trio is driven by the vocal growl and swirling electric and lap steel guitars of John Randall, the powerful drumming and falsetto howl of Andy Rehm, and the burning baritone and bass saxophone lines of Kellie Everett. It’s Morphine meets ZZ Top mixed with a dash of George Thorogood and Tom Waits. But anyone who has seen this band live knows that this group is unlike anything they’ve experienced before. When The Hooten Hallers come to town, you know it’s gonna be a party!

Emerging from nearly two decades worth of singalongs while racking up more than half a million miles in a van, comes The Hooten Hallers’ 7th official full length album entitled Van Jams Vol. 1, was released on April 3, 2026. This collection of songs both resonated with and influenced The Hooten Hallers and spans across decades of rock, punk, country, soul, R&B, and indie but are all delivered with the signature sound that fans have come to expect from the band: dueling vocals between John Randall’s powerful, gravely lows and Andy Rehm’s buttery high tenor, jangly electric guitar, pounding drums, and soaring bass lines on the baritone sax. One could be taken aback by the pairing of Roky Erickson, David Bowie, Morphine, and George Jones, but the band’s wide ranging musical tastes serve to bring the listener on a strangely cohesive ride and shows just how far this trio can push the limits of what’s musically possible.

This album is the embodiment of an epic road trip that has been taken and will be taken for years to come.

NELL BRYDEN – 26TH NOVEMBER 2026 – CONCERT RESCHEDULED

Thank you for buying tickets for the above event. Regrettably we have been informed by Nell that she has now had to cancel her planned UK tour in November 2026. The concert has now been rescheduled to the 5th March 2028.
All tickets and tables have been automatically transferred to the new date.
If you are unable to make this new date you can request a refund by emailing the venue by the 1st March 2027, after this time the venues strict no refund policy will apply.
Please see Nell’s note below:
With a heavy heart, I’ve made the difficult decision to postpone this tour to March 2028. I have to offer you a big mea culpa because I didn’t realise how difficult it would be to tour with a very active toddler, involving long driving hours in a van and late nights, and this tour would be too long to leave him at home in New York, at 18 months old.
So for family reasons I’ve decided I can’t do the tour. But you know how much I love being on stage and performing for you, so please keep your tickets for the next tour —which will be a shorter run and more doable.
We apologise for any disappointment caused. 
Paul James
