All Our Exes Live in Texas, The Hot Seats at Capital Ale House

by | Jun 14, 2018 | EVENTS

RVA Shows and The Broadberry Present!

ALL OUR EXES LIVE IN TEXAS
All Our Exes Live in Texas is a fantasy draft of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters – Elana Stone, Katie Wighton, Hannah Crofts, and Georgia Mooney – here combining in four-part indie-folk harmony heaven, accompanied by mandolin, ukulele, guitar, and accordion. Fresh on the heels of a sold-out headlining tour in Australia, All Our Exes are now exporting their powerhouse charm and songwriting prowess to the US.
The quartet received the prestigious ARIA Award in 2018 for their debut record, When We Fall, in the Best Roots and Blues Album category, and named “Folk Act of the Year” at both the National Live Music Awards and AU Review Awards.

THE HOT SEATS
The Hot Seats play stringband music with simple intentions: to keep the role of traditional musician as entertainer and commentator alive and kicking. Homer and Jethro, The Skillet Likkers, George Formby, Harry Reser, Woodie Guthrie, Gus Cannon, Phil Ochs, Tommy Jarrell, Arthur Smith, Uncle Dave Macon, Frank Zappa – these are pools from which The Hot Seats draw. Their original music is simultaneously hard to classify and instantly identifiable, combining the virtuosic soloing and tightness of bluegrass, the band-driven rhythm of old time, the jerky bounce of ragtime, and the swagger of good old rock and roll.

DATE: June 15, 2018
VENUE: Capital Ale House
TIMES: Doors at 8, Show at 9
TICKETS: $10 at www.richmondshows.com
