The 'real deal' From Wanamaker, Indiana, coming to Glasgow as part of the Americana Festival after having a blast touring with Billy Bragg and performing to full houses in Holland, Belgium, Ireland and England.

" In troubadour Otis Gibbs, we may have found America's contemporary Billy Bragg. Not since late A&M period Phil Ochs have we heard such a distinctly American blending of the personal and the political" - Edward Burch, HARP MAGAZINE

Editorial review - 'One Day Our Whispers'
Otis Gibbs has a gritty vocal style that seems to automatically give his music an air of authenticity. Like Steve Earle or Tom Waits, this gives the impression of a man who carved his songs from hard-lived experience....www.payplay.fm/otisgibbs2

Jim Byrne with his distinctive style, described as "contemporary folk, alternative country and laconic, acoustic blues.', ... he's been forging a name for himself sicne he arrived on the Glasgow acoustic music scene in June 2008.

"Special mention should go to Jim Byrne and his laconic folk blues.." - -David Kushar, Spiral Earth UK new Folk and Roots music.

"There's many a singer songwriter in Glasgow and Jim Byrne is one of the classiest...a polished urbane performer " - -The Blues Bunny
