Pumps with the headaches of broken hearts and empty bottles’

We’re very excited to have Case Hardin coming to play at The Old Barn on 2nd April.  Those of you that like your Alt-Americana music have probably heard about these guys over the years, or you may have been lucky enough to catch them at last year’s Rickmansworth Canal Festival.  Either Way they're not to be missed in this intimate little venue.
Front man Pete Gow is a great performer who, in addition to writing, creating, and performing music, also has an amazing PT Job: as a CBS News Journalist, reporting wars and protests around the world!  Check out this profile that his colleagues put together on CBS’s “The Early Show” :

Formed in 1999, Case Hardin are the outlet for song- writer Pete Gow to express his tales of sorrow, heartache, and flirtations with life’s dark side.  Despite something of a revolving door of contributors over recent years the band has once again settled to a firm and focused line up; musicians drilled in live performance, clearly comfortable in each other’s skins on stage and on record.
In September 2011 the Berkshire based band released Every Dirty Mirror, their second full-length studio album on Clubhouse Records, the new home for Americana in the UK.  This follows on from their much acclaimed 2007 album, Some Tunes For Charlie Spencer.  Their sounds have been described as impactive and organic.  Immediate, yet complex enough to deliver rewards to repeated listens.


Support from Declan Zapala, Classical Guitarist
