We're delighted to welcome Sid and the band back to Portsmouth and the beautiful Square Tower.
The Coal Porters claim to be the world?s first ?alt-bluegrass? act, demonstrating the power of fiddle mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar and doghouse bass when matched with four-part harmonies and memorable melodies. After a four-year hiatus, The Coal Porters have reunited, led by Americana Music Association Award Lifetime Achievement Award winner Sid Griffin, whose band The Long Ryders are credited as progenitors of "alt-country". Featuring on fiddle Grammy winner and Adele string section leader Kerenza Peacock.
Their sound has featured on NPR's Morning Edition in the USA, live sessions for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 and Marc Riley for Radio 6 Music, and appearances at Glastonbury, SXSW and MerleFest.
The Coal Porters are: Karenza Peacock (fiddle and vocals), Paul Fitzgerald (banjo & vocals), Sid Griffin (vocals, mandolin, harmonica and autoharp), Andrew Stafford (bass), Neil Robert Herd (guitar & vocals).
