Inspired by the unvarnished sound of early folk heroes such as Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcomb and Leadbelly, Shindig present stonking new takes on old-time folk, blues and country tunes from the American pantheon.

The driving claw-hammer banjo and vocals of OC resident David Ward (Wheel Of Experience) provides a handy launching pad for the vital fiddle of Dave Khan (Marlon Williams, Reb Fountain), with Eamon Edmundson-Wells (Ruckus) on bass providing a rhythmic groove that would have been the envy of any band on an Appalachian Saturday night.

Throw away what you thought you knew about claw hammer, this is top stuff, it is unique and strangely mesmerising.

Tickets: $15 cash.
