The Weekend 09 May 2014

TUMBLING BONES THE OLD DUKE

ou might not believe that four men and a double bass will fit into a two-door Fiat hatchback. Pack in an additional banjo, fiddle, and two guitars, and you have an accurate vision of a slightly cramped Tumbling Bones, fresh from the US, hightailing it from gig to gig. Hailing from Portland, Maine, these boys are travelling around on their debut UK tour with only the necessities – instruments, tap shoes, a change of clothes, and a crate filled with copies of their debut album, Loving a Fool.

This indie Americana record spans rockabilly to gospel and reflects the Tumbling Bones’ performance – a roots-tinged spectacular that includes a cappella three-part harmony, Appalachian clog dancing and fiddle wizardry. Drawing on bluegrass and pre-WWII folk, Tumbling Bones play a mix of original compositions and traditional material infused with the infectious energy of the rock’n’roll they were reared on. ■ Thurs, May 15. See listings for details.
