Latest and final Bonanza & Son radioshow of 2013

Ok folks here is the final Bonanza & Son on ResonanceFM of 2013 & what a show it was. Just click the link below to 'listen at your leisure'...

Firstly there’s a special Bonanza & Son/Richard Buckner Mix...

We recorded an interview & live session with Richard Buckner in situ at St Pancras Old Church this past week… It very nearly didn’t happen as only hours earlier Richard was being held in a holding pen by Belgian Customs when he should have been sound-checking. But arrive he did albeit at the last minute whereupon he performed a mind-blowing live session & gig

To celebrate & document this miracle at Christmas & by way of an early Christmas present to our listeners we broadcast an extract of this in the form of a special Bonanza & Son mix. We plan to air the original interview & live session on our first show in the New Year.

What a year for music 2013 has been & we look at some of the highlights of the year with tracks by Jonny Fritz, The Men, Phosphorescent, Austin Lucas, The Deep Dark Woods + records from the Bonanza & Son Revue including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers + lots more

Last but not least we have a barnstorming live session from Essex finest purveyors of Americana, The Delta Jacks, on the run up to their gig tonight at The Countrier Than Thou Christmas Party at The Lock Tavern. Hope to see ya there.

Bonanza & Son on ResonanceFM Present
'Countrier Than Thou’
Country•Americana•Rock’n’Roll

Country Christmas Party
FREE ENTRY ALL NIGHT.


@ The Lock Tavern
Thursday 19th November 2013

Live acts:

The Ramshackle Union Band:
A welcome return to The Lock Tavern stage for our favourite Stoke Newington Frontiersmen. The Ramshackle Union Band are a harmony driven, Americana-Folk four-piece. Rich and sumptuous vocals swirl and swoop Eagle-like around uplifting guitar, banjo, bass and drums. On their previous visit to Countrier Than Thou the bands rousing, live performance has become the stuff of legend, cementing a reputation as one of Britain’s leading purveyors of Old Time, Authentic Folk, Bues. and Rustic-Americana with a driving, Psychedelic twist.
www.facebook.com/pages/The-Ramshackle-Union-Band/130542059821?fref=t

+The Delta Jacks:
Proponents of an unholy melange of Country, Blues, Deep-South choogling and the rawest Rock 'n’ Roll. Imagine all three Hanks; Williams Snr, Jnr and the Third finding themselves at the Alabama/Essex crossroads, having sold their souls to the Dagenham Devil and then embarking on a road movie of epic proportions then you might be getting somewhere close to where these boys hang out ie the wrong side of the tracks where the Appalachian mountains high, lonesome sound bargains with the devil at the Mississippi crossroads.

+Bonanza & Son DJ Set (ResonanceFM):
Radio Presenters, DJs and Club night promoters playing traditional Country as well as the most cutting edge examples of Americana and Avant-Country with a few oddities to twist your heads.

Bonanza & Son will be screening rare, cinematic, Americana curios for your visual stimulation and pleasure. Expect Acid Westerns, Revisionist Americana and Spaghetti Westerns.
