Description
The Drystones play a folktronica fusion that sees Alex Garden and Ford Collierβs trad instruments bent out of shape by Evan Carsonβs pounding electro-percussion. From humble beginnings busking on the streets of Somerset, they have come to the fore of a generation of folk acts bringing a new energy to timeless traditions.
Latest album 'Vulpus' represents The Drystones' transition into city life, blending trad folk with electronic music - the fire and energy of their timeless fiddle and guitar integrated into the modern world of synths, grooves and big beats.
For the Vulpus tour, they are joining forces for the first time with βpercussion maestroβ Evan Carson (Sam Kelly and the Lost Boys, iamthemorning), whoβs powerful grooves make sitting still a difficult task.
Having played slots at Glastonbury Avalon Stage, supportedtop acts such as Elephant Sessions, Steeleye Span, Ray Davies and got aBBC Radio 2 Folk Award nomination under their belts, The Drystones knowhow to please a crowd. Whether youβre more at home in a crusty tavern or a sweaty disco, a Drystones show is the place for you.
