These Wicked Rivers play the O2 Institute3 in Digbeth with their 'Fire and Folklore' tour, pairing new material from their third album with fan favourites.
These Wicked Rivers play O2 Institute3 Birmingham on Thursday 3 December, part of their Fire and Folklore tour. They're heavy-blues wizard-rockers, and the set is built around pairing new material from their third studio album with a string of fan favourites. It's a run that lets the new songs sit alongside the older ones rather than one replacing the other.
They describe the show as a heartfelt celebration of the pure joy of rock n roll, and it's a family affair with the ever-growing Rivers family at its centre. That family element is a good way to get a sense of who they are — a band that's as much about the people on stage as the music they're playing.
If you're not familiar, the Fire and Folklore tour is the framework for the whole thing. The new material comes from their third studio album, and the fan favourites are the songs that have stayed with them from the earlier records. Hearing them together in one set gives you a look at where they've come from and where they're heading, rather than just a run-through of the latest release. It's a gig that works whether you've followed them from the start or you're just coming in now.
