The Deep Dark Woods
Americana band The Deep Dark Woods reveal Leaf date as much-tipped acts Bully and Falseheads join a raft of Liverpool bands playing tour dates, Getintothis’ Lewis Riley delivers this week’s wrap up.
Fans of alt-country and roots will be delighted to hear news of Americana outfit The Deep Dark Woods announcing a date in Bold Street’s Leaf courtesy of Harvest Sun.
Their first Liverpool gig since a sold out date in 2014, the band, native of Saskatchewan in Canada, will play the city centre venue on Wednesday, May 7.
They released their latest album, Yarrow, in October last year, a magical collection of their work after a four year hiatus. It saw a re-energised and re-invigorated band, fronted by Ryan Boldt, find a sweet yet dark optimum and return to their spellbinding best.
Nilufer Yanya
Based in West London, Nilufer Yanya has been a success story of the capital’s open mic nights. Twice rejected from a music degree she has fought her way to being one of the most talked about artists of her genre.
She’ll play at Liverpool Central Library as part of the Get It Loud in Libraries series that has seen Cherry Glazerr, She Drew The Gun and Lucy Rose perform in one of the cities’ most loved spaces. With Turkish, Irish and Bajan heritage she is sure to bring a soulful warmth into the venue on Saturday, April 7.
Update: The Get It Loud In The Library date with Nilufer is to be rescheduled.
