SUMMARY:The Delines at Arts Centre - Colchester
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £27.50.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nThe Delines were formed after Richmond Fontaine singer/songwriter\, Willy Vlautin\, heard singer\, Amy Boone (The Damnations)\, sing just one single ballad. He was so moved by her voice that he secretly wrote her songs for over a year before approaching her to start a band. Lucky for all she liked what she heard and The Delines were formed. \nFontaine’s Sean Oldham on drums\, Freddie Trujillo on bass\, Vlautin on guitar\, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Gray on keyboards and horns. \nVlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the US\, UK\, and Europe\, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Uncut\, MOJO\, Hot Press\, Rolling Stone and the Wall Street Journal\, both as a novelist with seven books under his belt\, and as the former front man/songwriter of the Americana outfit Richmond Fontaine who produced eleven acclaimed studio albums. Three of his novels have been turned into feature films: The Motel Life\, Lean on Pete\, and The Night Always Comes. Ursula K. Le Guin said this of Vlautin’s writing\, “Willy Vlautin is one of the bravest novelists writing… An unsentimental Steinbeck\, a heartbroken Haruf\, Willy Vlautin tells us who really lives now in our America\, our city in ruins.” \nhttps://www.thedelines.com/ \n“The Delines’ exemplary seventh album… Vlautin’s latest pin-sharp vignettes of drifters\, con artists and the left behind… Behind Vlautin’s writing and Amy Boone’s poised\, soulful delivery\, Cory Gray’s horns swoon and sway in sympathy.” Uncut – 9/10 \n“With its soft-edged brass\, Wichita Lineman twangs and soft-purring organ\, the perfectly weighted\, often filmic music is impeccable\, short instrumental pieces punctuating episodic\, detail-rich character studies which singer Amy Boone delivers with her usual flair and poise.” MOJO – 4 stars **** \n“Stunning doesn’t begin to cover it… Over the last couple of albums there has been a growing sophistication in the way Willy Vlautin writes\, and in how The Delines interpret his stories\, and this is another step forward in that process.” Americana UK – 9/10

SUMMARY:Graham Parker - 50th Anniversary Of Howlin Wind & Heat Treatment // Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Graham Parker Solo – Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the classic albums Howlin’ Wind andHeat Treatment. \nSlinging his signature guitar and singing with inimitable soulful grit\, Graham Parker has spent more than four decades carving out a singular place in rock and roll. A critics’ favorite and a songwriter’s songwriter\, he emerged in the mid-1970s at a pivotal moment in British music. With his band The Rumour\, Parker released a run of essential albums including Howlin’ Wind\, Heat Treatment\, and the undisputed classic Squeezing Out Sparks\, records that fused literate songwriting with the raw energy that helped reshape rock in the late seventies. \nThroughout the following decades Parker continued to evolve\, releasing acclaimed solo albums such as The Up Escalator\, Another Grey Area\, and The Mona Lisa’s Sister\, blending British rock attitude with deep roots in American R&B\, soul\, and country traditions. Rolling Stone once observed that Parker “owed more to Dylan and Van Morrison than to his punk counterparts\,” a lineage reflected in the emotional intelligence and biting wit that define his songwriting. \nApril 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Parker’s debut album Howlin’ Wind. To celebratethe milestone\, writer Jay Nachman has authored a new book\, Graham Parker: Howlin’ Wind\,featuring extensive interviews with Parker\, members of The Rumour\, and producer Nick Lowe. The book traces Parker’s childhood and early musical journey\, revealing the experiences and influences that shaped the songs on this classic record. \nAdding to the celebration\, a new limited-edition live album recorded in England featuringParker with The Goldtops and backing singers The Lady Bugs will be released on vinyl in May 2026. \nMore than fifty years after his debut\, Graham Parker remains a true original. His musiccontinues to blend soul\, rock\, wit\, and sharp storytelling in a way that few artists have matched\, securing his place among the most enduring voices in rock and roll.
