Bonnie Prince Billy and Susanna
Old Fruitmarket
Please Note: This is a past event.
Long known as the least predictable of creative shapeshifters, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has also undergone a major status overhaul within the contemporary musical context he helped pioneer. Having made No.9 in John Peel’s 1993 Festive 50 out of nowhere, with the debut Palace Brothers single Ohio River Boat Song – long before terms like ‘Americana’ or ‘alt-country’ were invented – Will Oldham’s music (to use another sometime sobriquet) nowadays sounds increasingly prophetic – albeit the work of a prophet who rather prefers the wilderness. His grittily mystical, darkly playful explorations of America’s historical, musical and psychic backwoods remain way out on their own, with the dramatic songcraft and stark, hushed arrangements on new album Wolfroy Goes to Town staking out his latest intriguing claim.
Support tonight is provided by Susanna Wallumrød. The Norwegian singer has been described as having one of the most incredible voices you will ever hear.
