Let’s get this party started.
One of AUK’s favourite festivals has announced the lineup to its annual Thanksgiving party, this year taking place on the 29th November, and it’s a hoolie! The various acts come from all over, just like the festival itself. This year features Pacific NorthWest troubadour Casey Neill, former Mekon Jon Langord, Americana angel Ella Spencer and Zydeco whirlwinds the Po’ Boys who raised the roof at the festival itself earlier this year. The Ranch Party is held in a big heated barn of Easton Farm Park in rural Suffolk and everyone is invited to “Come shake off the autumn blues with thanksgiving themed food and locally sourced drinks.” Sounds like a trip to the countryside is in order! Tickets are available from this link.
The UK’s first Americana festival has also confirmed its dates for 2025 as the 4th-6th July, where barns and fields of Easton Farm Park in rural Suffolk will once more be transformed into a festival site offering six stages indoors and out, presenting an array of music, dance and masterclasses that have been attracting festival-goers since 2008. The lineup is still under wraps but it’s sure to be the usual high-quality mix of Americana acts that have become the standard having hosted established artists like Mary Gauthier, Justin Townes Earle, Sierra Hull and Billy Bragg and championing many like Yola, Larkin Poe and Gwenifer Raymond early in their careers.
Wrap up warm y’all!
