SOUTHERN ROCK TRIPLE HEADER HEADS FOR UK

Three southern rock bands are teaming up to tour the country later in the year.

Jason & The Scorchers, Dan Baird & Homemade Sin and the Kentucky Headhunters will play dates at Norwich Waterfront September 5, London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire 6, Sheffield HRH C.R.O.W.S 7 (Dan Baird will not be on the bill for this), Bristol O2 Academy 8, Wrexham William Aston Hall 10, Newcastle O2 Academy 12, Glasgow Garage 13, Manchester O2 Ritz 14.

Kentucky Headhunters guitarist Richard Young says of the tour: “There is no doubt that, had it not been for these two pioneering acts helping to open doors, The Kentucky Headhunters would not have had the opportunity to finally start releasing albums after 20 years of struggling to do so.

“The Heads have always held these fine folks in high esteem for their personalities, as well as their music. Oddly enough, the three bands have never played together, and it’s finally happening, for the first time, in the UK!

“We already know in our gut, this is gonna be a tour that will be off the chain. so, watch out UK – here comes a 50 Gallon Barrel of Kick Ass!”
