UK-BASED Americana trio Jaywalkers are set to perform at Crediton Arts Centre as part of a tour following the release of their fifth album.

The event will begin at 7.30pm on Friday, November 7.

“As those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Jaywalkers show is an exhilarating experience,” a spokesperson said.

“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.

“Drawing from a melting pot of influences from country heartbreak to bluegrass dynamism, the combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmonies pack a punch as fiery as Jay's lead vocals.

“There’s no better way to experience Jaywalkers than in person. Their live shows are fun, intimate, and full of the kind of energy that can only come from a band completely immersed in the music they create.

“For more than 10 years, Jaywalkers have toured regularly across the UK and Europe, honing their craft and releasing their fifth album Move On this year.

“Mandolin maestro Mike Giverin is also the chief songwriter, and the band's originals cover themes including the travails of the travelling musician, saving the planet and even tales of being stranded halfway up a mountain. All of these stand proudly alongside their clever covers, foot-stomping bluegrass tunes, and superb interpretations of old country classics.

“Jaywalkers received support from Arts Council England for this tour, after being selected for growth support as an upcoming, local band from England.”
