ACOUSTIC-CAFE-NIGHT@THE GRANARY  presents ANNA CASSIDY accompanied by WILLEM McKIE

FRIDAY 21st FEBRUARY, THE GRANARY, 8pm

AcousticCafeNights@theGranary are delighted to be hosting the very talented Anna Cassidy, Irish singer-songwriter, now based in Glasgow. Willem McKie from QUICK and ‘The Black Denims’ will be accompanying Anna on guitar/mandolin and backing vocals. Anna began her musical career performing alongside her parents in her early teens. Steeped in Irish traditional song she is also influenced by contemporary singer- songwriters Kate Bush, Duke Special, Joni Mitchell and Carole King, which can be heard in her vocals and driving rhythmic piano accompaniments.

While still at school Anna joined the electro-pop band Go Wolf on synth and backing vocals, and they supported Bastille and The Killers at Tennent’s Vital in Belfast 2014. Anna’s solo journey began during her time at university in Scotland, when she released her debut 4-track EP ‘Sparks’ in 2016. Anna’s next release was a home-recorded single ‘Breathe’, released in September 2020 following the first UK Covid lockdown which landed her in the semi-final of the International Song Writing Competition 2020. Anna’s second EP ‘All Part of It’ soon followed in April 2021 with a full band line up of strings, percussion, bass and trombone.Following a stint of living and working abroad after the pandemic, Anna has now returned to Scotland and been performing regularly across the country. Autumn 2024 saw the release of two new singles ‘The Dog Song’ and ‘I Must Go’, produced by Gus Stirrat at Solas Sound which have gained radio play on an array of programs including The Iain Anderson Show (BBC Radio Scotland), The Scots Connection (Celtic Music Radio), and Folkwaves Radio (Hands Up for Trad).

ACOUSTIC-CAFE-NIGHT@THE GRANARY  presents THE JAYWALKERS album launch tour

FRIDAY 21st MARCH, THE GRANARY, 8pm

AcousticCafeNights@theGranary are delighted to be hosting the fantastic JAYWALKERS!

“A beautifully performed take on Americana… a multi-layered sound that belies their trio status"RnR Magazine

As those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Jaywalkers show is an exhilarating experience. UK-based they may be but many from the other side of the Atlantic have complimented them on their particularly stylish delivery of this virtuosic brand of Americana. These three outstanding musicians have developed a tight bond, demonstrated through their well-crafted, tasteful arrangements and ability to bounce ideas around the stage. The combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmony pack a punch as fiery as Jay’s lead vocals and make a fuller sound than expected from an acoustic trio.

After years of touring and perfecting their craft, Jaywalkers are ready to release their highly anticipated new album, Move On, set for release in Spring 2025. With this new record, the band pushes the envelope further than ever before, fusing Bluegrass, Country, Folk & Americana with their signature virtuosity, humour & skill to create something that’s both fresh and familiar. Whether you’re a longtime listener or a newcomer, Move On promises to captivate and resonate on multiple levels.

There’s no better way to experience Jaywalkers than in person. Their live shows fun, intimate, and full of the kind of energy that can only come from a band completely immersed in the music they create. In 2025, Jaywalkers will be taking the stage for an extensive “Album Launch” tour, bringing their new album to fans around the UK. Expect to hear the latest tracks alongside fan favourites from their earlier releases, all reimagined in the raw, powerful live setting.

Jaywalkers are a real melting pot of their collective inspirations and the influences of their musical upbringings. This is evident in their live sets which come to life in their use of Country heartbreak and Bluegrass dynamism applied to issues of the modern day and life as a touring band…mostly stuck on the M6.

 “Stunning three-part harmonies, soaring fiddles and fearless mandolins … a powerhouse of Americana who can cook up a storm without the need to plug themselves into any cumbersome amplification.”

Country Music Magazine

“Jaywalkers’ musicianship is truly tasty: both deft and impeccable but never soulless, while the players’ togetherness and interplay is mesmerising and attention-grabbing”

Folk Radio UK

“An effortless blend British and American folk traditions to create something arguably greater than either of these genres.”
