The Old Stables

Welcome to the mythic world of Son of Town Hall, the unusual union of Ben Parker of London, England, and David Berkeley of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Parker, a highly sought-after London-based songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist, and Berkeley, a celebrated singer/songwriter/author have imagined a world that transcends time and space, complete with Victorian-era outfits, meditations about the sea and songs that beg you to sing along. The show is three-parts concert, one-part theater. It will leave you transformed, with your heart full of laughter and tears, drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.

Audiences at Town Hall's packed shows across America and Europe consistently leave a show swaying like they've been to sea themselves and muttering that they've never quite experienced something like it. If the early indications prove true, the two will soon need to build a bigger boat, for eveyone who floats near them wants to jump aboard.

Part balladry, part performance art, and totally cool...complete with Victorian-era costumes, sing-alongs, and meditations about the seafaring life....Think Simon & Garfunkel lost at sea, and you get a sense of the mythic world at play here. - Philadelphia Inquirer

 

Joining Son of Town Hall for this session is Northern Ireland's Matt McGinn, a massively talented performer and songwriter who has been a lynch-pin on the Irish music scene for a quite a while.
"I've seen Matt play live, he's fantastic... and Latter Day Sinner is a beautiful album." Bob Harris - Radio 2

 

Doors open at 7.30pm with entertainment starting at around 8pm.
