Danni Nicholls & Massy Ferguson (USA)

This unique joint-headline show sees Bedford’s own celebrated singer/songwriter Danni Nicholls share the bill with Seattle, USA based Massy Ferguson – both of whom are touring new, critically acclaimed albums.

For more than a dozen years, MASSY FERGUSON have proudly planted their boots on both sides of the country-rock divide, carving out their own brand of amplifed Americana along the way. Based in Seattle, they’ve become international torchbearers of a sound that’s distinctly American, with a touring history that spans nine different countries. On their fifth album, Great Divides, they double down on their rock & roll roots, mixing bar-band twang with raw, guitar-driven bang. Gluing those sounds together is the songwriting partnership of bass-playing frontman Ethan Anderson and guitarist Adam Monda, whose songs spin stories of small-town adolescence, big-city adulthood, and the long miles of highway that stretch between.

“If you happen to be partial to straight-ahead punch the sky southern roots rock with a side order of beer swilling choruses, then climb aboard and put the pedal down.” – Folk Radio UK
