The Curst Sons

One of the best, if most unlikely, acts to come out of Brighton – hands down – this briliant trio play bluegrass, gospel and rockabilly as if their lives and loves depended on it, mixing Americana classics with tuneful originals full of superior lyrics. They continue to put the mandolin, banjo, slide guitar washboard and 'rhythm pole' (the creation of lead singer Willi Kerr) to infectious use.
