A sensational debut album whose legacy continues to live on, ‘The Same Old Blues‘ was released on Noel Gallagher‘s Sour Mash records in the summer of 2001. While drawing influence from the canons of Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Faces, singer Greg Griffin‘s hair-on-end vocals and Paul Newsome‘s accomplished songwriting offered a definitive style all their own that had audiences hooked from the outset.
Tickets are on sale for all dates from 9AM on Friday 26th March 2021.
