Nicholas Campbell & The Meter Cheaters

Nicholas Campbell is playing Bearly's House Of Blues & Ribs on Friday, 23 October, with his band The Meter Cheaters. It's a rockabilly night, so if that's your thing, this is where you'll want to be that evening. The set is billed as a rockabilly concert, and with The Meter Cheaters backing him, it's a full band on stage rather than a solo turn.

Rockabilly is that particular blend of rock and roll and country that came out of the fifties, all slap-back echo and walking basslines. It's music built for dancing, and with a full band behind him, Campbell's set should have plenty of that drive to it. If you've never seen him live, this is a good place to start.

Bearly's is right here in Halifax, and the show starts at 21:00, so it's a late one — the kind of night that works best if you're planning to stay for a few drinks and a bit of dancing. If you're coming from across town, keep that start time in mind when you're figuring out your evening. The music kicks off at 9:00 pm, and with the rockabilly style, it's the sort of gig that's as much about the room as it is about the stage.
