Sister of the eastern, daughter of the low slow song, mother of banjos Jessie Rose Shanks, will be performing solo tonight at the Christchurch Folk Music Club in spreydon with Brother Blair Morgan, Shanks solo is a rare bright thing in a dark noisey world, come be in her corner.
Here's a photo of shanks and McGrath by the ashburton rail tracks on their first ever run out of town twenty years ago, we realise it looks like we've been electrocuted cause our hair is so sticky outie, but we can asure it was the style back then... maybe. We offer this blow to collective dignity so you will buy sympathy tickets, for shanks show, not cause of that strange hair day but for having to have stood next to mcgrath for twenty bloody years.
tickets here or on the door 7pm:
