Indie folk and americana concert by Glad Town Ghost at the hmv venue in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Glad Town Ghost plays hmv in Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday 17 October, starting at 2:00 PM. It's a solo show, and the name belongs to Dale Husband, a musician from East Cleveland whose sound channels the Appalachian foothills, drawing on the provincial northernisms and post-industrial landscapes of his home.
Husband's style is steeped in American folk, and he's often placed alongside artists like Jackson C. Frank, with writing that brings to mind Cormac McCarthy. He released the solo concept album The Endless Heavy Sleep in 2020 before returning to the fingerpicking roots that have come to define himāa sound he describes as "melancholic by nature and hopeful by design."
Since then, he's put out the EPs These Witching Hours and Dreamsong, both noted as bleak yet empowering and shaped by fatherhood. He's been heralded by NARC Magazine, NE Volume and BBC Introducing, so if you've been following the local scene, you've likely come across his name before.
