Beer & Blues Festival Boxstock Special September 8, 2012

Boxstock 2012 joins forces with the Beer & Blues Festival to present a night of cigar box guitar blues played out on the simplest, craziest and baddest of instruments! This music is raw and full of soul, stripped back to the bones, played with fire and passion on simple, home-made, hand crafted guitars. All this drunk down with an incredible range of rare and delicious real ales served from our Picturehouse Cafe Bar before and during the gig.

Mike Snowden knows how to work a live show and has opened for legends such as The Indigo Girls, Joe Cocker, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the Dave Matthews Band, and is one of the scenes most influential writers and performer.

Dave Arcari is perhaps more well known to a lot of regular blues afficiandos, but his leftfield approach is right in the home-grown music zone. Dave Arcari’s alt.blues sounds owe as much to trash country, punk and rockabilly as they do pre-war Delta blues. One of the hardest gigging live artists on the circuit.

Jukka 'Black River Bluesman' Juhola & Andy 'Bad Mood' Hudson play their blues in the deep woods and frozen swamps of the muddy Black River Delta, way up North in cold Finland. Their unrefined, electric blues have been compared to the rough sounds of the Mississippi Hill Country artists as well as to anything between Deltahead and Black Keys. Expect a masterful set tonight.

Wonderful and rare beers served all night long!
