About the show
East Sussex quartet, The Longshore Drifters exist to breathe new life into old school country music. Harmony-rich duets and songcraft are at the heart of their retro-modern honky-tonk sound. Since forming the band late in 2022 after a chance meeting between songwriters Michelle Miller & Mark J. Lee at a late-night Hastings Old Town picking session, they have quickly gained a reputation for passionately reinvigorating classic country sounds both on stage and in the studio. From Telecaster twang driven roof raisers to smoky 3am heartbreak ballads The Longshore Drifters serve it all up with equal parts rhinestone swagger and ‘down home’ charm & humility, making them firm favourites among hardcore country aficionados and the honky tonk curious alike.
Miller & Lee alongside Andy Francis on bass & drummer Barney Green, to date have released ‘The Grind’ EP plus their single ‘Hurricanes & Razor Wire’, and have a full-length album coming later in 2025. At every step showcasing a deep love and understanding of golden age honky-tonk & cosmic country but never afraid to colour outside the lines.
The band will be at their favourite London venue What's Cookin' to celebrate the launch of their debut album...it will be a honky-tonkin' party!
Featuring - The Longshore Drifters
The Longshore Drifters are an East Sussex quintet of duet heavy, old school country pickers who wear the influence of golden age Honky Tonk and Cosmic Country proudly on pearl snapped sleeves. A living jukebox exuding the very essence of dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music, two stepping in the shadows of Conway & Loretta, Gram & Emmylou, The Drifting Cowboys and The Buckaroos.
