Born Ruffians

Blackberry Wood with Shred Kelly
Friday, March 18, $12, Showtime 9:30 pm
Blackberry Wood is a wonderful, secret and magic combination of alt-country-gypsy-circus music.
A high-energy cabaret spin on old and modern music adding spicy flavours like exotic world beats, jumpin’ ska, folk, punk ‘n many other irresistible body shakin’, foot stompin’ delights to their original and timeless musical-down-home ol’ style adventures.
Blackberry Wood comes down the road like a travelling caravan, with all kinds of wondrous instruments, vocal melodies and fantastically costumed characters.
Fernie’s footstompin’ stoke-folk band, Shred Kelly will warm up the evening! Tickets are available online, at Royal Espresso or at the door.
