Steve Crawford & Spider MacKenzie sind ein Musikduo aus Aberdeen, Schottland. Scottish Folk und Americana sind die Zutaten ihres ausgeschlafenen Songwritings. Steves lyrische Akustikgitarre ergänzt kongenial Spiders virtuos wehklagende Mundharmonika. Die zwei Musiker nehmen den Ball auf, den ihnen die klassischen Singer/Songwriter der 70er zuspielten. Die Bandbreite reicht von getragener Kerzenscheinidylle bis zu schwindelnden Uptempo-Kaskaden. Um ihr zweites Album Celticana aufzunehmen, verließen sie ihre schottische Heimat, um in Nashville, Tennessee, zu proben, wo sie alles aufsogen, was die Muse dieser magischen Musikmetropole zu bieten hat. Die Reise führte das Duo weiter zu den Moon House Studios in Austin, Texas, wo Chris Cage, legendärer Produzent und »Texas Musician Of The Year«, ihre Aufnahmen produzierte. Das Resultat: »Celticana«, das die schottischen Wurzeln der Musik des Duos stilsicher in einen uramerikanischen Kontext setzt. Als Gast haben sie sich Johannes Epremian (Violine, Gitarre und Gesang) eingeladen, dessen Liebe zur Kultur und Musik der Cajuns zentraler Motor seiner Musik ist.

Steve and Spider will be joined by special guest Johannes Epremian, the hugely talented multi-instrumentalist known through his work with bands such as Le Clou and Austin, Epremian, Weller.

Steve & Spider return to Germany! Featuring singer and multi-instrumentalist Johannes Epremian, known in Germany through his work with bands such as Le Clou and Austin, Epremian, Weller.

Two of Aberdeen and the UK’s finest musicians Steve Crawford & Spider MacKenzie are delighted to be back at the Blue Lamp. In 2019 the pair relocated first to Nashville to rehearse in the city’s historic East Side, soaking up all the muse this musical heartland has to offer. From there they travelled on to Moon House Studios in Austin, Texas to work with veteran musician-producer and former Texan musician of the year Chris Gage. The result is music stylistically drenched in Americana set to lyrics that spin stories from their Scottish motherland. The result was their long awaited second album “Celticana”. It was released in June 2020 to critical acclaim from press and radio.

On Sunday 24th October the duo will perform songs from “Celticana” along with many other old favourites. This show was originally planned for 2020 but circumstances prevented them.

Since this concert which falls on a Sunday evening, it will have a relatively early start time.

Doors open at 6pm and the show will start at 7pm.
