Southern Fried presents Late & Southern Fried

Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys: 10.45pm

Red Pine Timber Co: 12.15am

Hailing from Prince Edward Island on Canada’s east coast, the multi-award-winning Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys serve up old-time roots music with an energy level that practically yanks you out of your seat by the collar. If ever someone was deserving of his nickname ‘Crazy Legs’, it is Gordie MacKeeman. His thrilling dance style, while simultaneously playing the fiddle, mixes with great close-harmony bluegrass vocals, Peter Cann’s blistering guitar solos, and the lively multi-instrumental talents of Thomas Webb and Jason Burbine. Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys are an international sensation causing standing ovations wherever they go.

Red Pine Timber Co's winning blend of Americana, country, soul, blues and southern rock has rightly earned them a formidable reputation as a truly great live act. The great reception given their new album Sorry For The Good Times on its release earlier this year confirms their arrival as a great studio outfit too.

Even more than the sum of its many talented parts, Red Pine boast a magnetic front pairing of songwriter Gav Munro and the fabulous voice of Katie Whittaker. The band’s trump card is their imaginative brass arrangements, which create an utterly unique sound, adding great depth and soul to an already combustible mixture.
