Dryadic @ The Grove w/ Samuel Jackson-Reed
Details
I saw Dryadic last year at The Grove supporting Matt Pless, was very impressed indeed! They are an alt-folk band consisting mainly of guitar, fiddle and double bass (which ended up being shoulder slung with a strap which was impressive too!)
They have a new album, Permission To Speak and they're on the road supporting that.
Support comes from Samuel Jackson-Reed, who while from Nottingham, I don't think I've seen him before!!

Dryadic are delighted to be returning to The Grove as part of our Permission to Speak tour in March.
Queer, alt-folk agitators, Dryadic deliver an intelligent, feminist blend of rootsy folk with a melodic pop flair, peppered with heart soaring vocals, and vibrant fiddle licks.
Dryadic's distinctive sound and connected live show command the audience with tenacious singalong hooks delivered straight from the heart, backed by epic layered harmonies, raw energy, emotion and charisma. Feel-good, rousing rhythms underpin candid, humorous lyrics. Expect foot-stomping feminist protest songs and travelling folk tales, to dreamy epic ballads with five string fiddle and double bass do-si-do in the audience.
Dryadic's new album "Permission to Speak” is released this coming February 20th, with a UK tour to accompany.
