Sunshine Tip + John McAll

Sunshine Tip bring their unique, grounded take on alternative country to the Espy Basement. Dave Bowers, Alice Garner, Dee Hannan and Al Barden throw voices, guitar, cello, mandolin and drums together to trawl the depths of human experience. This is locally-rooted music played by performers who draw on a rich and varied history, ranging from alternative country, rock, jazz and lounge, to Greek and Irish traditions.

Opening the night is pianist John McAll, teasing magic from the ebony and ivory in a solo set as well as jumping up for a few Sunshine Tip tunes. A fearless music explorer, John has played with many greats of jazz, rock and cabaret and brings a unique style, sensitivity and humour to his performances.
