Monthly night of intimate, atmospheric country music with the East Sussex duo The Longshore Drifters at The Seadog.
The Longshore Drifters are back at The Seadog on Wednesday 2nd December, from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. It's a duo — Michelle and Mark — and the set is old-school country, the kind that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is. They're an East Sussex outfit, and they wear the influence of golden-age Honky Tonk and Cosmic Country on their sleeves.
They describe themselves as a living jukebox exuding the essence of dim lights, thick smoke and loud music, with two-stepping in the shadows of Conway & Loretta, Gram & Emmylou, The Drifting Cowboys and The Buckaroos. If those names ring a bell, you've got a good idea of where they're coming from: the classic country pairs and the honky-tonk bands of the mid-century, rather than anything polished or modern. It's music that belongs in a room with low lighting and a dancefloor.
The show is part of a monthly night of intimate, atmospheric country music held at The Seadog on the first Wednesday of every month, so this is one of those regular fixtures you can keep on your radar. It's a residency, not a one-off, which means it's as much about the night as it is about the particular band on the bill.
