SHOWMAN AND COOLE
Green Note Ltd, Green Note, NW1 7AN , [Venue Details]Showman & Coole – Super Deluxe Fiddle, Banjo and Song
Through twenty years and a couple of thousand shows together in bands such as The Foggy Hogtown Boys and The Lonesome Ace Stringband, John Showman and Chris Coole have developed a deep and instinctual musical bond.
Their music lurks in a truly unique space that is somewhere on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley.
The duo’s original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely. They have performed across North America and Europe at festivals such as Merlefest, Celtic Connections, Rockygrass, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Mariposa, Wintergrass, Gooikroots, and The John Hartford Memorial Festival. In 2022, the duo released two albums; “ Afield” a collection of old-time fiddle tunes, and “Much Further Out than Inevitable – A Tribute to Some Music of John Hartford.” They are currently releasing a steady stream of new and original singles on all online platforms and working compiling this new music on CD and vinyl in time for January 2026.
