The Glass Mountains + The Tupelos + Mississippi McDonald

The Glass Mountains – For a UK Americana-Country band, London’s The Glass Mountains are constantly being compared to Nashville’s finest. And while the band are more than happy their songs are hailed worthy of Music City, The Glass Mountains aren’t looking to Tennessee for inspiration. Since forming in late 2016, The Glass Mountains have refused to be hemmed in by popular perceptions and definitions of country music. The band, whose name refers to the London skyline and the invisible barriers between rich and poor communities, say their songs are just as likely to feature inner-city life as dirt roads and pickup trucks. In fact, if you don’t even like country music, chances are you’ll love this band.”A debut with true Nashville stylings…the record benefits from how tight the band are as live performers” – MAVERICK MAGAZINE  “Never Been To Nashville EP”The Tupelos –  channel power pop and US college rock into their own brand of Americana. Never using four minutes when will three will do. Influences from R.E.M and Sugar to Teenage Fanclub, Wilco, Son Volt  and all the usual alt-country suspects. “A debut with true Nashville Mississippi MacDonald –  is a 3 times British Blues Awards nominee, from London, England.
