Blues-rock duo When Rivers Meet play The Welly as a six-piece with Grace and Aaron Bond on The Backbone Tour.
When Rivers Meet play The Welly on Saturday 5 December, part of their Backbone Tour. The show is built around the songs that shaped their story, pulling from their back catalogue — early favourites alongside the tracks that made them. It's a six-piece set, so they're bringing in a full band for the night rather than playing as a duo.
At the front are Grace and Aaron Bond, husband and wife from Colchester. Grace takes vocals, mandolin and fiddle; Aaron handles vocals and electric guitar. They're a blues-rock duo, and they've built a bit of a record as independent artists: they were the first independent rock/blues band to break into the UK Official Album Charts Top 10, with Aces Are High in 2023. They've since secured four number-one albums, three of which topped the Official Jazz & Blues Albums Chart, and three UK Top 20 albums, including Addicted To You at number four and Rhythm Rust & Static at number twenty. They're also inductees of the UK Blues Hall of Fame.
The Backbone Tour is a six-piece show that looks back across their discography, from the early songs through to the ones that defined them. It's a bit of a retrospective, so you'll hear material from different stages of their career in one set. They describe themselves as independent artists and continue to champion what independent acts can achieve.
