'If you were ever to take a gamble at seeing a band you have never heard of then this is the one...'
That a company called The Hen House is presenting The Goat Roper Rodeo Band kind of says it all. You kind of expect a hayloft for the venue but the next best thing in Salford could be the terminally ace Veterans Garage at the City Airport, formerly Barton Aerodrome.
As so it is that the Goat Ropers play the Garage on 22nd November on a tour postponed from earlier this year. Expect some mighty fine tunes as this band, consisting of two guitars, an upright bass and vocals, are storming the alt country circuit.
"The Goat Ropers have nailed the recipe for music magic that will make your soul smile" states The Hen House "There is not a moment during their set that is not an absolute delight to listen to or to watch. Utterly captivating from start to finish. Songs dripping in history yet completely new.
"Picking out their songwriting and musical influences is easy enough but be in no doubt that The Goat Ropers have their very own unique and captivating sound that is not to be missed" they add "If you were ever to take a gamble at seeing a band you have never heard of then this is the one"
Those influences range from Gram Parsons, to Dylan and more, and critics have raved, calling the Ropers' sound, everything from 'slightly psychedelic', to 'foot stompin' rock 'n' roll', to 'cosmic country blues'...
Prepare to take flight to another dimension of stomping tunes...
