FollowBBC 2 Folk Award Finalists Cup O’Joe to perform at the Heritage Centre
Tuesday 14th January 2020
Cup O’Joe is a family trio who have been playing together from their early teens. Former BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Finalists, they blend the intricate tones of bluegrass, folk and jazz tones to create their own progressive acoustic sound with strong harmonies that blend together like only sibling harmonies can.
Their mix of original and re-imagined traditional songs are the ingredients for an energetic and enthusiastic performance which appeals to a wide audience and they are a growing presence on the acoustic music scene.
“All three play with an extraordinary level of intuition” – Folk Radio UK
“Gorgeous blend of gentle bluegrass picking, beautiful folk melodies and mellow harmonies” – Americana UK
They have toured extensively throughout the UK and Central Europe and in 2017 they were selected to take part in a week-long Bluegrass festival in North Carolina – one of the first international bands to do so. Cup O’Joe have appeared on many media platforms and provided an insight of Celtic music on several BBC documentaries.
Visiting the Heritage Centre as part of a nationwide tour Cup O’Joe will also perform some of the songs which are included on a new album of new and traditional music set to be released in January ,some numbers featuring special guest musicians including David Benedict and Niall Murphy.
