Treetop Flyers

Event Date: 
02/05/2013 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix, Gandy Street, Exeter

Though London-based, Treetop Flyers have a quintessentially vintage American West Coast sound, so it’s fitting that their outstanding debut album of country soul was recorded in the canyons of Southern California.

Displaying strong Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young influences, the band also betray an admiration for the British folk sounds of the 1970s, with whispers of Nick Drake and Fairport Convention amidst the canyon croons.

Tickets: £7

Box office: 01392 667080
