Event Details
Gothic. Americana. Husband and wife dynamic duo.
The Handsome Family are going back on the road to celebrate the re-release of their classic album Singing Bones. Released in 2003 after moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico, their songs became infused with the desert sun and crawling reptiles. Mariachi and Morricone – Western Gothic, if you will.
The Handsome Family (songwriting and marriage partners Brett and Rennie Sparks) have been defining the dark end of Americana for over 30 years. Brett writes the music and Rennie writes the words. Their work has been covered by many artists including Jeff Tweedy, Andrew Bird and Phoebe Bridgers.
Their song ‘Far From Any Road’ was the opening theme for HBO’s True Detective season one. Since its release, ‘Far From Any Road’ has accumulated more than 45m YouTube views and 153m Spotify streams, a clear testimony to its huge cultural reach and lasting impact.
