He has gained radio support from John Peel and Bob Harris, and is a regular guest on BBC Radio Manchester.Īs a soloist he has been fortunate enough to tour and share stages with great artists including I, Calexico, The Handsome Family, The Earlies, Bone-Box and Samson & Delilah, to name but a few.
Despite being a relatively unheard record, it did produce some interest from fans, labels and press. In 2006 he found himself back in Canada, recording what would be his sophmore release, Wandering Midnight. That year he released his critically acclaimed debut record, Hard Feelings, establishing him as a recognised singer/songwriter in his own right. In 2004 Gabriel made Manchester his home. Following that album the band members decided to pursue solo projects. The band released their first album, Off Windmill, in 2000, followed by the self-titled, The Guthries, in 2002. He has toured extensively as a soloist, been a side musician for many great artists, produced records, and has even had a hand in recording a film soundtrack. Gabriel was a member of the Canadian country rock band The Guthries (signed to Hay Sale Records) in the late 1990s and early 2000s who toured extensively throughout Canada and the UK. His voice is unbelievable, ranging from the gravely depths of a bass to the richer timbre of a baritone. We’re excited to be presenting a headline show for Hey!

These two sets were not just a great way to spend a warm May Day evening, but also a reminder of the fulfillment that comes with adventurousness, empathy, and a sense of community. It was particularly great to hear “Sunken Waltz,” “Crystal Frontier,” and their excellent take on Love’s classic “Alone Again Or.” Tuesday’s sold out crowd was given a healthy dose of the newest record as well as choice cuts spanning the group’s career. Newer songs “Under the Wheels” and “Voices in the Field” may speak of these troubling times, but they took on the urgency of a rallying song of protest, shirking the inaction brought about by fear. The set was anything but somber, as they are of a special breed of band that never loses the cohesiveness and attention to detail of their records whilst managing to elevate the songs to an entirely new emotional level. Born of that stress and anxiety is their newest record, The Thread That Keeps Us. “We have work to do and that’s why we’re here,” he told the crowd. Frontman Joey Burns made mention of how the band got into the studio right after the election. In this particular political climate, their songs felt as relevant in a global sense as they ever have. But their lyrics have always addressed the area’s specific sociopolitical strife in a nuanced, poetic manner that speaks globally. Stylistically, it’s not hard to see why when a band is from Tuscon and has a sound drawing upon the regional folk traditions. “We’re going to have two drummers, another guitarist and a bassist, and we’ll definitely expand upon things.” We await the return of his unique brand of free-minded folk (as well as his excellent stage banter).Ĭalexico has understandably been associated with the Southwest. “I’m definitely going to play the shit out of these songs,” Walker told Vanyaland.

Walker mentioned coming back through Boston with a full band during an autumn tour supporting the new record out later this month. And the other half, two cuts off of 2016’s Golden Sings That Have Been Sung, felt fresh as ever. Cuts off of Walker’s upcoming record Deafman Glance - “Telluride Speed” and “Spoil with the Rest” - suggest that this album may be among his best yet.
