Annie Keating Band + The Dreaming Spires

This Autumn, sun-drenched country-rock from Oxfordshire meets smoky Americana from Brooklyn as The Annie Keating Band and The Dreaming Spires join forces for a highly anticipated double-bill. More than just a series of concerts, this promises to be a celebration of a quarter-century of musical exploration and a profound transatlantic dialogue through songs.

The Dreaming Spires’ debut, Brothers in Brooklyn, was inspired by their time in Annie’s home borough, while Keating herself has become a “staple of the contemporary Americana scene” in the UK, championed by the legendary Bob Harris. Since Jamie Dawson (drummer for The Dreaming Spires) also tours as part of The Annie Keating Band, the musical chemistry is cookin’!

With the Spires’ Robin and Joe Bennett bringing sibling harmonies and jangle, and Annie bringing gritty folk-rock with her storming band, also featuring Joe Coombs and Scott Warman, each show with these two acts will feel like a Friday night gig regardless of the day, leaving the audience in a much better mood than when they arrived. Don’t miss out on an unforgettable night of equal parts heart-on-sleeve songwriting and stirring rock & roll!
