Karl Blau

Cult indie songwriter and collaborator with everyone from Laura Veirs to Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie, The Microphones) **Karl Blau** is coming to Margate with his band Country Gravel to play songs from his most recent effort 'Love and Harm':

"My record Love & Harm consists of a modern country rock sound. Living in Germantown, Philadlephia, starting to play a lot more shows with my backing band we're calling Country Gravel - Joseph Krause on drums and Corinne Dodenhoff on bass guitar. These records will take you all over the place. I used to want to just make sounds I'd never heard before."

Seven years after London's Bella Union release, Introducing Karl Blau, and their “Fallin’ Rain” hit, and just on the heels of 2022's Love & Harm release featuring a return to the Country spectrum now mixing a dose of Grunge, Karl Blau assembles a Philadelphia backing band of drums and bass. With punk musician Corinne Dodenhoff - bassist and vocalist of Philly band Queasy and master home recordist J. Salvage himself - Joseph Krause on the drums, Karl Blau & Country Gravel shared their new, louder brand of country on tours this past Fall to Georgia and parts south as well as up into New England.

Now writing songs for a new record, Karl Blau & Country Gravel head to the UK to test these new songs and share some cuts from Love & Harm and Introducing and beyond translated live through this exciting three piece.

"...the clear-eyed “Love & Harm” is some of the DIY mainstay’s more accessible work and also among his best." - Seattle Times

"His anachronistic croon channels mid-century outlaw country, picking up other traces along the way." - Tiny Mix Tapes

"One of America’s great indie heroes" - NME
