Autumn sessions in the church #2 - KONTRA BAND "Ballads & Blues, Devils & Booze"

Experience an unforgettable night of live music in an intimate and atmospheric setting when Kontra Band perform their devilish musical roots revue.

Fesaturing singer, songwriter, guitarist, harmonica player and roots doyen, Kevin Buxton, excellent folk/blues guitarist, Adam de Santis, and fiddle/mandolin maestro, Robin Hillman, Kontra Band play an entertaining mix of original songs, as well as music from blues, folk and Americana roots traditions.

Step into a smoky, soul-stirring night of heartbreak, mischief, and melody, where every song tells a story and every note lingers like whiskey on the soul. "Ballads & Blues, Devils & Booze" is a lively evening of songs, stories and dark humour exploring humanity’s oldest temptations. From Robert Johnson’s legendary deal at the crossroads to murder ballads, drinking songs and devilish blues, this entertaining show journeys through folk, blues and Americana traditions with wit, warmth and outstanding musicianship. Expect tales of rogues, sinners, gamblers and hard drinkers, alongside classics by artists such as Steve Earle, Randy Newman, The Rolling Stones and Richard Thompson. By turns spooky, moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Ballads & Blues, Devils & Booze is a richly entertaining celebration of music’s darker side.
