CLARKESDALE PRESENTS ANNIE DUGGAN AND ROB HINES
After appearing with us twice in 2021 and 2022 respectively in impromptu lunchtime gigs, the brilliant Annie and Rob now take the stage with a full evening of their music.
The pairing of powerhouse vocalist Annie Duggan with exceptional guitarist Rob Hines is a match made in … well, possibly Clarksdale Mississippi or Nashville Tennessee, or the backwoods of Alabama. Take your pick, but the ‘roots’ of their music undoubtedly originate from the diverse strands of blues, country, folk and jazz that combine in the melting pot of ‘Americana’.
To classify their music as one or other of these genres would be to do them a disservice, as their mastery of each and all is palpably plain to witness in their performance.
Annie, who is known for her captivating style on stage and her musicians have travelled the length and breadth of both the UK and America carving out a successful career with her music which has seen her working with some of the best musicians along the way. Her voice both powerful and expressive, encompassing the grit and growl of the blues, the more mellow tones of country music, and the subtlety of the jazz stylists. She employs all of these devices within her repertoire, including standard classics from those genres, and original compositions from the pen of erstwhile collaborator Colin Granger who lives in Norfolk.
The empathy between Annie and guitarist Rob Hines is all encompassing, and his impressive technique allows him to employ both rhythmic subtlety and impressive interjectory extemporisations in his accompaniments. His solo excursions are truly amazing, the powerful propulsive drive of the country bluesman in tandem with the Scotty Moore ‘Sun Sound’ Elvis era rockabilly ‘licks’, and an occasional hint of Spanish flamenco, a truly amazing combination of influences finding a home in his one man guitar ‘orchestra’!
All of those elements combined culminate in a show that touches the heart of the audience and will take you on a journey for the evening that you will remember.
