CHRISTOPHER REES ON TOUR
Christopher Rees hits the road this month on the MOJO Club Sessions Tour with Boston based Americana collective Willard Grant Conspiracy and Mississippi’s William E Whitmore.
The recent Welsh Music Award winner for ‘Best Male Solo Artist’ was selected by MOJO Editor in Chief, Phil Alexander after hearing an advance copy of his forthcoming second album ‘Alone On a Mountain Top’ (The Ty Bach Twt Sessions).
Recorded entirely alone in an old 200 year old cottage in the mountains of Mid Wales in just six days, it marks a distinctly different sound to that of his critically acclaimed debut album The Sweetest Ache as the lavish string laden epics are replaced by rustic resonator slide guitar, wailing blues harp and country banjo.
Reflecting his love for Blues and Country artists like Skip James, Son House, Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley it represents another distinct side to him that is made all the more engaging, immediate and exciting in such a stripped down manner.
Chris will be performing solo on all dates apart from Cardiff.
