This event has now passed

Imagine there’s a crossroads, outside of time and cut loose from geography, where the righteous and the haunted shake hands and sit down to play. Where High Lonesome brothers Ira and Charlie Louvin keep company with Boogie Woogie sister Rosetta Tharpe and where Reverend Gary Davis shouts the names of the seven gates while Johnny Cash reads to us from Revelations.

Every year seven esteemed and eclectic musicians with ‘form’ put down their weary loads and join in that musical conversation.

This is ‘Tell Heaven’:
A celebration of the spirits of absent friends
A tight grooving, big voiced harmony sound with no wasted ornaments
A space outside the compromise, pretense and confusion of contemporary life
