Alabama 3 Acoustic

ALABAMA 3 ACOUSTIC BY ROBERT BLACKHAM.png

"We're not from Alabama and there's not 3 of us". This pared-down version of the full 7- or 8-piece contains 4 of them.  

 

South London's beloved roots-futurists rose in the public consciousness after providing the opening theme music for TV Series, The Sopranos, and the acoustic line-up has played all around the world in festivals, theatres, concert halls and prisons!

​

Heeding Woody Guthrie's maxim, Alabama 3 have never feared the reduction of their technology.  Consequently, "Alabama 3 Acoustic" is brave enough to go out on the road armed only with a battered acoustic guitar and harmonica, preaching Guthrie's word that 'this machine kills fascists.' 

​

In homage to the classic delta blues slide players like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker and their own Rockfree Base, they present their narco-acoustic slant on Alabama 3 and the music that has inspired them along the way.

Rock Freebase: “I've developed a style of guitar that combines elements of both MacDowell and White, with a hint of banjo picking, and tried to give it a more modern, urban twist.”

​

Complete with Larry Love's whiskey-soaked vocals, Zoe Devlin Love’s soulful chorus and Nick Reynolds bad-ass blues on harmonica, they provide a raucous show even without the techno!​

​

Coming to GTSF on Saturday.

3rd to 6th July 2025
