Originally formed in 2012, Stockport band, Raintown Seers, have recently added Florida native Sarah Beth Shaw to their line-up on vocals.. The rest of the band is comprised of Neil Fisher (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Dan Hall (upright bass) and Chris Demetriou (violin, keys, vocals. On this appearance they are also joined by Andy Gray (drums) who they describe as “our good friend and increasingly fifth member”. The Raintown Seers have roots in the folk traditions of both sides of the Atlantic and play a mix of classic and original americana. Their debut single with the new line-up ‘Stanzas and Schemes’ was released recently and can be viewed on Youtube. The song which they are performing for The Twang Factor 3 is their second single ‘All of Our Dreams’ which they are releasing simultaneously with their AUK appearance – how cool is that? The song itself was written during lockdown and is “unashamedly upbeat, optimistic and non-specific” The band describe it as “an antidote to those times” which has become a live favourite – and it’s not hard to see why.
