State of the Union - Americana at its finest

Tickets - £17.00

Boo Hewerdine and Brooks Williams aka State of the Union, create a magical,
stripped back and enthralling musical atmosphere with two guitars and two voices.
Their performances are consistently brilliant, equal parts emotive and entertaining.

The two formed their collaboration in 2011 and created two albums in rapid
succession, State of the Union and Snake Oil. Subsequent tours took them around
the UK, to Ireland and Portugal, including a 14-date stint playing theatres with Eddi
Reader and an appearance on The Andrew Marr Show (BBC 1), plus 4-star reviews
in Q and R2. In 2017 they released Saltwell Sessions.

The songs State of the Union create are equal parts with, whimsy and pathos. Both
have an impeccable sense of rhythm and melodic beauty. Their sound is huge, two
guitars and two voices exceeding the sum of the parts. They interweave melodies
and harmonies, nimble picking and full-tilt chording. It’s rich and expertly executed.
And both love the craft of writing.
