Solo UK tour in March with Joan Shelley

Hello,

Really looking forward to these first shows of 2016 where I will be opening the bill for Joan Shelley on the UK leg of her EU tour. Joan, in collaboration with Nathan Salsburg, made one of the finest folk lp's in recent memory last year. It's called Over and Even and you can see the pair performing a few tracks from it in the video below these dates. Hope to see some friends, old and new, across these dates. Sadly we won't be making it southwest, or to Wales. Hopefully sometime in the future. I will be trying out a bunch of new songs.

Happy New Year!

Mar 2 - Bexhill-On-Sea - De La Warr Pavilion

Mar 3 - London - The Islington

Mar 4 - Farndale - The Band Room

Mar 5 - Glasgow - The Glad Cafe

Press & Reviews

“fervid three-guitar + fiddle workouts. You could place them as an Anglo-celt analogue to folk-rock churners like Arbouretum and, especially, PG Six, though there’s something of The Waterboys circa “A Pagan Place” in there, too.” John Mulvey, UNCUT

“Red River Dialect are interesting in that they appear to fuse this traditional strain of inclusive, rabble-rousing folk rock with more adventurous, psychedelic influences that place them right at the genre's cutting edge… (they) are obviously neither bandwagon-jumping dilettantes nor finger-in-the-ear luddites, but experienced musicians and long-term enthusiasts whose fusion of styles is always in service of the song…

Awellupontheway fuses folk-rock's past with its future, carrying forward the energy, urgency and melody that has long served the form well, and merging it with the more experimental, avant-garde approach of some of our most exciting guitar bands… Red River Dialect is a language open to all.” The Quietus

“Morris’s songs, eight of them here, take the lilt and roll of British sea chanties and blow them into amplified, feedback-droning, violin squalling anthems. This is, no kidding, one of the best folk-derived, psych-filtered rock albums of 2012, a great hoary rampaging beast of a record that rakes bloody, violent claws through the symmetries of traditional folk.” Jennifer Kelly, Dusted Magazine.
