State Of The Union

Boo Hewerdine is perhaps best known from his years fronting much loved English rock band The Bible but he has since enjoyed a solo career spanning over two decades and written thousands of songs including those for Eddi Reader, Sia, Chris Difford, Kris Drever and KD Lang.

Brooks Williams is an Americana singer-songwriter-guitarist, in 2022 celebrating over 30 years touring and recording with tours in both the USA and the UK, as well as collaborations with Rab Noakes, Sloan Wainwright and Hans Theessink.

Together, as State of the Union, they create a magical, stripped back and enthralling musical atmosphere with two guitars and two voices. Their performances are consistently brilliant, both emotive and entertaining and yet showing wit, 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, making for an amazing, emotional rollercoaster of an evening that should not be missed.
