THE CEDARS A mesmerising Americana 4-piece with infectious stomping rhythms, a mournful, muscular female vocal and a mean dose of slide guitar and banjo. Playing songs of jilted love, distant lovers, murder and revenge, these guys conjure up scenes of dusty crossroads and cracked river beds so vivid that your throat gets dry just listening to them. Since they formed as 4-piece in 2006, they have played a raft of gigs including the Reading Festival and have had radio play in the UK and the USA. Music Mart said of them: "They're very clearly a class act; there are a whole raft of signed bands unfit to lick the shiny boots of The Cedars" ----
