“Whilst building Thorington Theatre, I listened to many artists, the music that was played would shape mood and creativity that occurred on site. One of the most played artists was Alabama 3. Their music has been a big inspiration for me and the work I have done in the music industry. It is an honour to have them come to perform in the venue that their music helped to create.”
Heeding Woodie Guthrie's maxim, Alabama 3 have never feared the reduction of their technology. Consequently, they are brave enough to go out on the road armed only with a battered acoustic guitar and harmonica.
In homage to the classic delta blues slide players like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Howling Wolf, John Lee Hooker and their own Rockfree Base, Alabama 3 present their own narco-acoustic slant on their current recordings, back catalogue of hits, and the music that inspired them along the way.
Complete with Larry Love's gravelly ash-stained vocals, and Nick Reynolds bank robber melodies on harmonica, they provide a raucous show, which is in no way constrained by the boring maxim that often goes with acoustic gigs!
