Old-school country music quintet of pickers playing live at The Seadog.
The Longshore Drifters are playing The Seadog on Wednesday 4 November, from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. They're an East Sussex quintet of old-school country pickers, and the set is built around the sound of the golden age of Honky Tonk and Cosmic Country.
Their approach leans heavily on duets, and the names they draw from will ring a bell if you know the territory: Conway & Loretta, Gram & Emmylou, The Drifting Cowboys and The Buckaroos. It's country music from the era of the honky tonk, the kind of sound that sits comfortably with a slow dance and a cold drink. The band describes themselves as a living jukebox exuding the essence of dim lights, thick smoke and loud music, and that's a fair summary of what they're bringing to the night.

As a quintet, they've got enough hands on deck to fill out the sound, and the focus on duets means the vocals take centre stage. It's a local East Sussex band, so they're playing not far from home. The set runs from 8:00pm to 10:00pm at The Seadog in Hastings, on Wednesday 4 November.
