Sheffield band The Fargo Railroad Co. bring their country rock and blues sound to Stage 2 at The Stables.
The Fargo Railroad Co. play The Stables on Friday 30 October, with the set starting at 8:45pm on Stage 2. They're a Sheffield band playing Southern and country rock, and they've got a new record behind them this time around.
It's a traditional line-up — acoustic and electric guitars, drums, bass and keys — and they're fronted by Jody Davies, who brings a roguish, road-honed stage presence and a fair bit of self-deprecating humour to the front of the stage. The songs are about life's trials and triumphs, and they're known as one of the hardest working bands around.
Their sound harks back to the roots of country rock and blues, and you can hear the influence of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers and Little Feat, alongside the 1970s songwriting of Cash, Young and Dylan. They'll also ring true if you're into more contemporary acts like Blackberry Smoke and Jason Isbell.

The gig is on Friday 30 October at 8:45pm on Stage 2 at The Stables in Milton Keynes.
