29 January - The Old Tire Swingers/The Garden City Projects Band Previously at Come Down and Meet the Folks:
The Old Tire Swingers are nfluenced by the Appalachian string bands as well as their own Central California country roots. They play a style that's somewhere between old time, bluegrass, and country, which has resulted in not only a set of traditional tunes but also their own blend of music which is The Old Tire Swingers, a mix of both traditional and original songs. Although much of the music the band plays is hard driving old time music, fans of bluegrass, country, acoustic, folk, and Americana are sure to find something they will enjoy in the songs.
From the kitchen of a small terraced house in the woody lanes of South Hackney village come The Garden City Projects Band a group of like minded individuals got together to form a musical collective in an attempt to play the kind of sounds that they wanted to hear. Moving on from these monthly kitchen jamborees, they have moved out of their village confines and are now haunting the concert halls and ale houses of this great smokey metropolis we call home. The Garden City Project have battled collective laziness, general inertia and the grind of our capitalist society to entertain their friends, themselves and other like minded individuals with a bitter sweet blend of folksy soul bossa nova psych.
