Alice Howe is on tour with Freebo, her producer and creative partner. Each a compelling performer in their own right, Alice & Freebo lead and support each other in their well-crafted songs with flawless harmonies and tasteful instrumentation. They have worked as creative collaborators in the studio and on stage since 2017. Freebo weaves his unique fretless bass stylings into Alice's superb vocals for a presentation with undeniable chemistry.
Freebo is best known for his decade of touring and recording with Bonnie Raitt, and has distinguished himself as one of the great bassists of our time, playing on records with CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, and Neil Young as well as appearing on Saturday Night Live, The Midnight Special, The Muppet Show, and in concert with the legendary Spinal Tap.
One night with Bradley will run the gamut from humor, hedonism, and activism to heartbreaking sadness. From Folk-Rock anthems to indie folk, flares of psychedelic alt-country, to straight-up storytelling. Influenced by songwriters like John Prine, Billy Bragg, Gram Parsons, and Townes Van Zandt his timeless songs mix love, humor, and protest seamlessly to get you through the tough times.

Originaria de Chicago, luego de Nashville, Tori Sparks se trasladó a Barcelona hace más que una década.

Desde entonces, sus canciones han formado parte de anuncios y series, más recientemente en la banda sonora de la serie Sky Rojo de Netflix.

Americana Barcelona Presents: Charlie Sexton
Charlie Sexton, raised in Austin, Texas, made his debut with Pictures For Pleasure in 1985 at just 16 years old. He quickly became known as a guitar prodigy and spent his teenage years as an in-demand session musician. He has recorded and toured with legendary names such as Ron Wood, Keith Richards, and Bob Dylan.
In addition to his musical career, Sexton has appeared in several films, including the Academy Award-winning Boyhood by Richard Linklater, as well as portraying Townes Van Zandt in the movie Blaze.
As a songwriter, Sexton writes about what he knows. Growing up among the greats, his lyrics blend autobiographical experiences with vivid images of Texas culture. He credits Bob Dylan as his strongest songwriting influence, while his guitar style draws from Austin legends Jimmie Vaughan and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Staying true to his roots, Sexton continues to perform with top artists. In recent years, he has toured, played, and recorded with Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, and Bob Dylan.
Sexton is currently on a solo tour of Europe, joined by special guest singer-songwriter Calder Allen. Allen has toured with some of the biggest names in country and Americana music, including Cody Jinks, Wade Bowen, Miranda Lambert, Turnpike Troubadours, The Red Clay Strays, Shane Smith & The Saints, Charles Wesley Godwin, and more. He has also performed at major festivals, including Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Two Step Inn, Oceans Calling, and many others.
