Barrence Whitfield & the Savages

Doors: 19.30
Age: 14+

“I hadn’t heard from Barrence Whitfield in a while … I have now. Don’t “Turn Your Damper Down” … turn it up!” – Elvis Costello. Barrence is back! Bigger and better than ever, and playing with the right guys! Rock royalty, raw and powerful r’n’b gold, a full-throttle soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke. The Savages lay down a groovy racket that’s so thick and greasy, you’ll need to keep wet wipes by the hi-fi. Barrence and the boys are to soul what the Cramps are to rockabilly – a gateway musical drug to America’s demented roots underbelly. A performer so consumed with satisfying his audiences that he’s been called ‘crazed, frenetic and completely unhinged.’ American legend. Here in York. What the **** is going on????
