The 50th anniversary of Woody Guthrie’s death is on October 3, giving us a moment to reflect on his legacy.
For all the itinerant folk musicians looking to lift the spirits of the listener, Woody’s music speaks loud.
Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage are two such singers, and they mark this anniversary by launching their Way Over Yonder Tour and releasing one of Guthrie’s most loved songs: “We have opened our sets for the last year on the road with Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key as a reminder of the footsteps we travel in,” says Hannah “...and because it sets the stage for what we sing for today – joy, irreverence, and an integrity of sound and feeling we feel is crucial to folk music right now.”
The duo are playing the show around a single vintage microphone, which is a craft heavy, intimate warm experience. "We would love for people to leave our shows feeling uplifted. We have been told that we are a duo who look and sound classically timeless, yet feel refreshingly unique".
Hannah and Ben will be live The Song Loft, at The Cock Hotel in Stony Stratford on Friday (September 29). Doors open at 7.30pm and tickets are £7.70.
