Baskery
Sunday 16 November, 7.30pm
The queens of banjopunk, three Swedish sisters by the name of Baskery, have played music since they were old enough to hold an instrument.
Baskery play a combination of classic ‘roots music and Americana’ with a twist of rule-breaking punk to turn this much loved style of music on its head. Their sound oozes style and playfulness and has won them many accolades.
On the live scene Baskery put on a fantastic, energetic show and supported legendary artist Robbie Williams on his arena-tour throughout Europe.
Their first album, “Fall Among Thieves” (2008) was recorded in Stockholm, co-produced by Lasse Mårtén (Pink, ‘Peter, Bjorn and John’, Kelly Clarkson, Lykke Li, Primal Scream ). It quickly established them as an act that people took seriously. In the years that followed they’ve released several albums and EPs working with the likes of Blackpete (Depeche Mode, Joe Jackson, Peter Fox), Matt Wignall (Cold War Kids, J. Roddy Walston, Wargirl) and were also signed by Dan McCarroll (President and A&R) to Warner Music. ”Coyote & Sirens” their most recent offering was produced and engineered by Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Rolling Stones, f.u.n, The Revivalists).
Later the same year they also toured the US with Gary Clark Jr and Brandi Carlile and the festival requests roll in Colours of Ostrava, Bonnaroo, Utopiafest, Newport Folk Festival, Arroyo Seco and Bottlerock.
