Pete Falloon – Album Lauch + Special Guest Small Town Jonesfalloon A4

Exmouth, Devon based multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Pete Falloon is celebrating the launch of his debut album Reed In The River in November 2016 with a full performance of the new LP. Similar to the self-styled Paisley Overground movement pioneered by bands such as Co-pilgrim and The Dreaming Spires, Pete’s music draws a line through many of the classic folk/pop acts of the psychedelic era such as Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds and James Taylor, to modern greats such as R.E.M., The Stone Roses as well as taking in influence from more contemporary acts such as Canadian Americana band The Barr Brothers. On the subject of the influence of the spectacular, idyllic beauty of the West Country in his music, he says that “the music is definitely influenced by my love for the natural environment, and inspired by living in Devon – the moors, coast, countryside, rivers and skies here are something very special”.

The full band shows will feature Pete on acoustic/electric guitars and mandolin, brother Matthew Falloon on bass (Smoke Feathers), Mischa Bray (Orange Circus Band) on mandolin/fiddle and Paul Everest (Smoke Feathers) on drums/percussion. Radio 2’s Whispering Bob Harris favourite North Devon Americana act Small Town Jones, will feature at the Exeter show.
