State of the Union

Boo Hewerdine & Brooks Williams

Thursday 28th September

This month we welcome back two old friends to Rothbury Roots. Boo Hewerdine is a much loved performer making numerous critically lauded albums and is held in high esteem as a songwriter by his peers. Brooks Williams is an American guitarist and songwriter firmly rooted in the blues but with influences in folk and jazz standards. Together as State of the Union they last came to Rothbury in 2012 and I'm very pleased to have them back again. They have released a 3rd State of The Union album this year (available only from gigs) which is an eclectic collection of cover versions and is right up there with the self-penned content of the previous two albums.

“If you like fine musicianship, a song with a lyric worth listening to and a tune you'll go home whistling then you'll love this duo.”
