Robert Vincent, Danni Nicholls

“I am so impressed with Robert’s music. Strong songs laced with blues and country. He is the real deal!” (‘Whispering’ Bob Harris)

“Danni Nicholls is a classic songwriter, her feet firmly rooted in Americana” (Spiral Earth).

2016 is turning out to be a bumper year for us here at Square Roots towers, with so many of the top Americana artists from around the world choosing to come and play for our amazing audience - and we’re thrilled to announce that two of the UK’s most promising emerging talents are now booked in to the Tower in a unique double-header show that will rock your proverbial boat!

Regular listeners to Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 will already no doubt be familiar with the music of Liverpudlian Robert Vincent as Bob is a massive fan of this young man - indeed he was the first recipient of the Americana Music Association UK’s “Emerging Artist” Award this year, chosen by Bob himself.

“Vincent mixes Folk, Rock and Country, employing piano, strings and howling pedal steel against a gravel washed Richard Hawley vocal. A young man filled with dreams, regret and shocking talent, giving his all. Now is his time!” (**** Mojo)

“Live, he is a colossus! In Robert Vincent, Liverpool has a giant of such lyrical repose, of such melancholic absolution, that he towers in virtue each time he steps on to a stage, physically and musically.” (Ian Hall, Liverpool Sound & Vision)

And as if that weren’t enough to drag you from the slumbers of your plush comfy armchair, then co-headlining we have the amazing talents of Bedford’s Danni Nicholls whose critically acclaimed “A Little Redemption” album, recorded in East Nashville with a stellar cast of musicians including the legendary Al Perkins on dobro and Steve Fishnell on pedal steel, was eclipsed by the follow up “Mockingbird Lane”, which once again had the critics drooling with love.

“If Danni Nicholls came from Nashville rather than Bedford she would already be better known. After all she possesses an old-school country voice as capable of a sumptuous Cline-like croon as it is of the husky intimacies of an Alison Krauss, and a warm, wry line in confessional songwriting!” (Andrew Mueller, Uncut Magazine, 8/10)

With performances guaranteed to melt your heart into the soles of your cowboy boots, her passionate delivery, captivating velvet voice and charmingly engaging between-song banter compel you to fall under her spell.

Doors 7:15pm, Show starts 7:45pm.
