Led by Americana Music Association award winner Sid Griffin, whose band the Long Ryders are credited by many with inventing ‘alt-country’, and featuring Grammy award winner Kerenza Peacock on fiddle.
After touring extensively for 15 years, with appearances at Glastonbury and Roskilde and live sessions on BBC Radio 2, Radio 6 Music and USA’s Country Music Channel watched by 6 million viewers, the Coal Porters hung up their instruments in 2018. Now reunited, and co-helmed by renowned songwriter Neil Bob Herd.
“Not your average fish & chips bluegrass, the Coal Porters have expanded their music with broad strokes and fearless execution.” (Chris Hillman - Byrds/Flying Burrito Bros).
“Sid Griffin was playing Americana long before it was called that with his Long Ryders and his pioneering spirit lives on in his work with the Coal Porters.” (Billy Bragg).
“The Coal Porters whisk together a hugely listenable cocktail of bluegrass, folk and country.” (Uncut).
