SUMMARY:An Evening With Red Dirt Skinners
DESCRIPTION:Roots Music Canada describe the Red Dirt Skinners as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music.” Music News Magazine state that there is “an almost Floyd-like quality to some of their music.” The Red Dirt Skinners are widely regarded as one of the most innovative acts to come out of the UK in recent years. The duo’s original style crosses more genres than would make sense to mention. They have won National and International Awards in Songwriting Rock Folk Blues Country Roots Alt-Rock and Indie Rock. If you are open to hearing new songs that are influenced by Pink Floyd Simon and Garfunkel Supertramp Queen and David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling humour and heartfelt emotions you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert. With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.   A Red Dirt Skinners concert combines captivating storytelling with knowing lyricism and outstanding musicianship. The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Be prepared for laugh-out-loud lyrics followed by songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner now Canadian citizens will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!
