The Boy are back in Town!
After his cervical break while sleepwalking (no joke) and three months of forced break John Showman is back in the realm of the living and can hardly wait to go back on tour in Europe.
John Showman (Fiddle) and Chris Coole (Banjo) are among the most outstanding artists on the North American roots scene.
As masters of their craft, they combine the raw energy of traditional American dance music with virtuosic interplay and a unique, modern sound aesthetic. They combine elements of oldtime, bluegrass, country and folk into their unmistakable modern original material.
Up Jumped Trouble (USA)
AVAILABLE: May 13 – May 31 or July 1 – 20. July 2027
The Cool Kids of Appalachian Stringband Music

We are currently working on this, Up Jumped Trouble in 2027 for the very first time to Europe – either in May (from mid to late May) or in July (beginning to mid July). Let us know as soon as possible if there is interest in a show.
Margo McSweeny is a 16-year-old prodigy on both the banjo and the fiddle, regularly winning tapes at dance competitions. The same goes for Raislin Brabson and Jared Boyd on their instruments fiddle and guitar at several prestigious music competitions. With Ben Noblitt, a very versatile and iconic bass player joins the band for the tour.
We are Up Jumped Trouble, an oldtime string band from the southwest of Virginia that specializes in oldtime, bluegrass and country swing. From energetic flatfoot dancing music to relaxed waltzes and sad country ballads, we offer a good time for every music listener and occasion!
The first band in history to win BOTH band competitions in Clifftop!

GOOD GUY HANK (SCO/AUS)
AVAILABLE: May 11 – 18. May 2027

Also on tour from mid to late May 2027 is the fabulous folk trio GOOD GUY HANK, which combines the essence of bluegrass and country with a modern, soulful touch. At the heart of her music are Pepita Emerichs’ virtuosic and driving fiddle and mandolin playing, Donny McElligot’s character-strong lead singing and impressive three-part harmony singing together with bassist Theo Barnard. Contact us to book your show.

THE WANTON STRING BAND (UK)
Available July 28 to 23. August 2027

Lace up your dance shoes as the unrestrained oldtime party continues. THE WANTON STRING BAND is back in Europe and ready to make your audience jump.
The Wanton String Band plays unrestrained, folk-inspired psychedelic dance music. Their ecstatic, contagious approach to American old-time music has made audiences dance on tables and hang out at the bar since its inception in 2016. Traditionally rooted and at the same time ultra-modern is the outrageously danceable sound of The Wanton String Band.
Watch them live at a fully exhibited show on YouTube
