When: 19th-20th November 2016
Where: Various locations, Leeds
With two months to go before its third annual outing, the High & Lonesome Festival has added some more truly great names to what was already a pretty amazing line-up. Joining headliners ILiKETRAiNS, Steve Gunn and The Leisure Society (in a special acoustic show) across Leeds Left Bank and the Brudenell Social Club on 19th November will be the wonderful Texan country musician Robert Ellis, fellow American and another supreme musical talent, Jenny O, plus the enigmatic London-based singer-songwriter Anna B Savage.
This year High & Lonesome has expanded to a two day event and joining forces with the revered Rhode Island psych-folk trio The Low Anthem at the Brudenell. Playing at Hyde Park Book Club the following day will be the delightful And The Kids, Leeds’ very own Sam Airey and, adding to the event’s truly international feel, the Dutch songwriter and performer Olivier Heim.
As High & Lonesome’s co-founder Harry Ridgway explains “We’re so excited to release the full line up and with how the festival is expanding. Moving to two days is really exciting as well as diversifying the line-up. The Low Anthem are some of our dream headliners and I Like Trains to us, represent an exciting way the festival can move and expand musically, as well as being something of Leeds icons… We want H&L to be a place of interesting ideas and chiefly, a place for brilliant songwriters. I feel this year we have that in spades with everything from Americana & Alt Country, to Post Rock & Pop.”
Tickets for the event can be purchased from the High & Lonesome website.
