NORTH Dakota folk storyteller and guitarist Tom Brosseau makes his York debut on Thursday on the back of September's release of North Dakota Impressions, the third in a trilogy to visit "life from a local perspective".
Produced by Sean Watkins in Silverlake and Highland Park, Los Angeles, it completes a journey that began with Grass Punks in 2014 and continued with Perfect Abandon last year.
Brosseau's journey "travels through a time that does not clip along uniformly on some common interstate but treads at its own pace on a rural route. More glances, more investigations and introspections, more light, more dark. Memories, imaginings, longings for a place, a home". In summary, North Dakota Impressions is a hopeful album.
"Tom is a wonderful North Dakotan folk musician, from Grand Forks, who has just made the finest album of his career to date, and this is a perfect time to let him into your life," says Please Please You promoter Joe Coates, who predicts "a stunning show".
Brosseau will be supported by Stillhouse at Thursday's 8.30pm gig. Tickets cost £8 from The Inkwell, Gillygate, York, or Jumbo Records, Leeds, or at seetickets.com/event/tom-brosseau/the-basement/987479. Alternatively, pay £10 on the door from 8pm.
