THE DELINES
The Delines will make a welcome return to the UK in support of their 4th album, to be released February 2025, featuring a show at the Union Chapel, a venue they’ve previously sold out twice.
The Delines formed from the ashes of Richmond Fontaine: RF lead singer/songwriter Willy Vlautin, drummer Sean Oldham, and bassist Freddy Trujillo joined forces with the magnificent singer AmyBoone and Cory Gray on keys and trumpet. “We’ve just put the final touches on the new record after nearly two years of recording, mixing, and tinkering. It’s our most ambitious one yet and Boone’s vocals are devastatingly beautiful.”
Chris Eckman is one of those songwriters with the alchemist’s touch. He’s proved it over the years as the songwriter of the Seattle rock-folk band The Walkabouts, as well as across a lauded six album solo career. His songs have been recorded by Townes Van Zandt, Steve Wynn, Willard Grant Conspiracy (and others). His 2021 album, Where the Spirit Rests, won the prestigious German Record Critics Award (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik). His latest album "The Land We Knew the Best" was the February "Album of the Month" at UNCUT magazine.
