High & Lonesome: Leeds Americana Festival

Initially conceived as a celebration of Americana influenced music, High & Lonesome has grown to become a home for sincere and emotionally resonant music in West Yorkshire. Still touching on the genre but reaching further out into it's modern influences in acoustic, folk, alt-country and pop.

To be held on Saturday 22nd November 2014, the inaugural festival will incorporate three of Leeds' finest independent venues at it's heart: Holy Trinity Church, Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen and Oporto.

Running from midday until midnight (and maybe later) the hand picked line up, brought to you by the collective minds behind Communion Leeds, Gaslight Club, King of the Mountains & Fell Foot Sound Festival, will also feature fringe events and specially selected extras including:
- Record fair
- Film screenings
- Pop up acoustic sessions
- High & Lonesome Street Food Menu
- Damn fine drinks

Most importantly they plan to showcase the finest new musicians alongside the more established elements of the UK and international scenes, making the event a meeting place and melting pot for those involved & enthused by the genre for years to come.
