Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters, 7 September, Caroline Street Social Club Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Amanda is a storyteller by nature with an incredible band backing her. Performing along with Amanda, The Honeycutters are Matt Smith on pedal steel and guitar, Rick Cooper on bass, Josh Milligan on drums and harmony vocals, and Evan Martin on keys and guitar. There is an empathetic and charming wit ingrained in Amanda’s songwriting. She has a knack for accessing a deep well of emotion and applying it to her story-telling, whether she is writing from her own experiences or immersing herself into the melody of emotions in another person’s life. The band undertook their first tour in the UK in summer of 2017 and return in 2018 after a phenomenal response!
Featured Event
At traditional weddings in Uganda special Acholi songs are played, known as Larakaraka. Over a decade ago, Otim Alpha began collaborating with pioneering producer Leo Palayeng to mix up the style, into a newer hyper-frenetic electronic version dubbed Acholitronix. The duo toured this across East Africa, and soon became known to Nyege Nyege Tapes who showcased them at their festival, and released Otim’s hit collection Gulu City Anthems.
