BITTERROOT
Energy packed Americana, Swamp Rock and Blues
“Rockabilly meets the bluesey sound of Bitterroot - a joy to watch and listen to. Peter and Broni expanded their duo to a four piece, adding drums and double bass, taking their sound to a thumping, bumping smiley place: it was impossible to keep still, as the dancers proved.

Bitterroot was assembled from racing locomotive parts in 2012.
It now blazes heat and goes like a train!
Faces will smile and feet will move - it's futile to resist.
The repertoire is one third original, two thirds covers of assorted 'Americana'.
There are lots of instantly recognisable songs, often having an original makeover.
Featuring a combination of soaring slide guitar and mandola, backed by thumping double bass and drums, the vocals then take it to another level with fabulous harmonies.
