Willard Grant Conspiracy

Event Date: 
16/09/2015 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

Sitting somewhere between country and alternative, the collective known as Willard Grant Conspiracy have been hailed as the new heroes of their genre. Based near Palmdale, California, the band’s only permanent member, the heavily bearded vocalist Robert Fisher, has a style that has been compared to both John Cale and Johnny Cash. As a band, it’s easy to draw comparisons with the likes Nick Cave and Tindersticks.

With a collective of some 30+ musicians, Willard Grant Conspiracy are a force to be reckoned with – both physically and musically.

Combining intelligent, provocative lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel good groove, this is music for the thinking man to shake his stuff to. Think Jason Mraz meets The Cat Empire…on a protest march…at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Billy Rowan, aka The Undercover Hippy, is definitely not your average singer songwriter. His music brings together elements of folk, hip-hop, and reggae with the lyrical delivery of a skilled MC.

Exeter Phoenix

Meet Nel: a foley artist. Don’t know what that is? She makes sound for films. In her world a tyre-screech is a hot water-bottle and an epic fight scene is composed of frozen cabbages and snapping rhubarb. But for the first time in her life, she finds herself completely alone. Her cat’s died and she accidentally poisoned her fish. She needs a friend. But she is afraid. In a world of continuous self-comparison she feels inadequate and finding a friend in today’s world is more than a little stressful. Especially for someone who spends her day recording sounds with vegetables in a box. She...
