Ear Trumpet presents: Sons of Town Hall, Seated Show at Bristol Folk House, 40a Park St, BS1 5JG - All Ages (Under 18s to be accompanied by a responsible adult)

Doors 7:00pm Show 8:00pm

A Sons of Town Hall show is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience unlike any other. American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/producer Ben Parker are the men beneath the hats in the transatlantic folk duo. They're also the stars of the hilarious radio-theatre podcast series Madmen Cross the Water.

Sons of Town Hall is creating an entirely new performance genre: Part live concept album, part performance art, the pair conjures their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th-century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love.

The Sons weave wild stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. For fans of Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Waits, and Monty Python alike, concertgoers are uplifted and inspired, transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall’s harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.
