Legendary Nashville guitarist Warner E.
Hodges (Jason & The Scorchers, The Bluefields and Dan Baird and
Homemade Sin) returns to The Greystones with a new band featuring Mikael Fassberg (ex Bonafide)
on guitar.
Last
year Warner tore the place up with his
band playing Scorchers classics and songs from Warner's solo outings,
including his blistering new album Gunslinger. Everyone in the room was blown away by the sheer
exuberance and power of Warner's performance.
The evening will be a true celebration
of kick yer ass and melt yer face Americana with support from two of
Sheffield's finest, Roaming Son and The Fargo Railroad Company.
Warner E Hodges is a real legend in
every sense of the word. Get your tickets now before they're gone.
This will be an amazing night of sweaty, face-bending, head-filling,
ass-kicking rock 'n' roll.

"Jason & The
Scorchers are musical pioneers... generation after generation have fallen
under this sing-songy definition of success in one way or another. But
Jason and the Scorchers embodied all three prongs of the hypothesis. They
were punk. They were country. They were rock… most of all, they were
originals."
- Americana Music Association
"there is absolutely no
question that Hodges plays dirty, loud guitar better than many of his
better-known contemporaries. With his heart so obviously in loud rock and
roll and with blazing performances under his wing... to see Warner E.
Hodges on stage is to see him at his best." - Penny Black Music
"...one of
rock n roll’s top 5 most thrilling moments, the mean-spirited
relentlessness of
‘White
Lies’...
this song, some 20 odd years later still has the
ability to simultaneously make love to and bugger the listener senseless.
With the ferocious guitar work of
Warner E. Hodges
battling for supremacy next to Jason’s howling vocal performances there
are few finer examples in the annals of recorded music of how the
electricity of personality makes for such thrilling sonic adventure."
