Summer Solstice Americana Night, The Continental, Preston, Friday, June 21It’s the longest day, a Friday night and the music is going to be grand, so head to The Conti and make it a great evening. But if you’re wondering what Americana is, it’s a blend of country rock - without the line dancing, Stetsons or cowboys, but with a great atmosphere. Appearing live will be West on Colfax plus veterans of the Americana scene, Red Moon Joe. These guys have been playing country rock since the 80s, are classic songwriters and seasoned musicians of the first water...and brilliant live. Entry is just £3 on the door, see www.newcontinental.net.
