Tickets: https://wegottickets.com/thegooseisout JackDaw is an acoustic gathering of Rob Anderson, Gaby Szabo and Lyle Zimmerman. Sometimes joined by Charlie Austen and/or other friends, they play a combination of songs written by Rob, his old bandmate, cult 1970’s Oregon songwriter Wayne Drury, and beloved others. The 2023 release, ‘Ghost InThe Big House’, began as a lockdown project with Rob working out songs, emailing vocal and acoustic guitar tracks to Lyle, who sandpapered, waxed and weeded a band-and-a-half’s-worth of dusty twang and jangle from his home studio’s instrument menagerie. Drums from Jay Shaw and Dan Purtell and plush harmonies from Gaby, Charlie and Lizzy O’Connor, were added, ending up with an album that RnR magazine described as “Neil Young reworking the Rolling Stones’ ‘Wild Horses’”. Their intimate live performances strip the songs down and bring forward dusty roots and harmonies. RnR magazine... Four stars…dusty but lucid high desert stories” Americana-UK magazine November 2023 - “ A joyful confident album … a sage-like quality to the songs” https://fb.watch/y6ZNYnd2cI/ Steeped in myth and mystery Jack Harris's songs bring the narrative tradition of folk and blues music into the here and now. His debut album 'Broken Yellow' received great acclaim in song- writing circles. Influenced by the old country blues masters (and folk singers of the British Isles), his performances are a riveting display of soulful, smoky vocals and intricate, finger-style guitar playing. "Jack Harris is a priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists" - Anais Mitchell https://youtu.be/ZlyiriRai0U?si=GLzoWRX6dwJZSHKC Dan Raza has kindly agreed to replace Joe Wilkes who can no longer do the gig. Plucked while still a student to tour with Joan Armatrading, and championed by Neil Young on his ‘Living With War’ website, Dan Raza has spent the first chapter of his career weaving folk troubadour magic around the clubs and halls of the UK, America and Europe while quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets. ‘The real deal’ – Huey Morgan, BBC Radio 2 “Killer songs” -Tom Paxton “A writer who has matured into one of this country’s finest” – Country Music Magazine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gznPmeFFD3U
