FRIDAY 23 TO SUNDAY 25 AUGUST 2013 AT DUNCOMBE PARK, HELMSLEY, NORTH YORKSHIRE
Laurel Canyons
country / folk / indie / rock /
Collected, composed and packing a ferocious punch, Laurel Canyons mine a fertile seam of Americana that blend elements of roots, folk, rockabilly and country. The name Laurel Canyons is a nod to some of their influences – an array of musical legends that lived in Laurel Canyon during its 60s and 70s bohemian heyday - but mixed in with this potent brew are elements of home, and Laurel Canyons are also unmistakably British in their unique sound.
Discovered two years ago by the seasoned managers of reformed art rockers Magazine, Laurel Canyons are now on the cusp of releasing their debut album. Recorded above a betting shop in their hometown, the songs distil the everyday honest realities of getting by on your wits, exploring relationships and making the best of the hand you’re dealt.
The outstanding and timeless quality of their music and the emotional investment therein can only bring just rewards. Only those with wooden hearts and cloth ears will miss such artistry.
