TIMELINE 2010 - 2019 | 2020 is the 10th ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR LITTLE RABBIT BARN | LRB | First barn show 02 July 2010 featured EVE SELIS and THE FLOE | 100 shows in the barn | 245 artist sets DANNI NICHOLLS 2021 SHOW ANNOUNCED

Dear friends, it is with heavy hearts we inform you that Little Rabbit Barn music evenings have been suspended until further notice. At this stage it is too early to predict when this will be but we hope our 10th anniversary year will be back on the road later in the year. We will willingly refund any PayPal donations made for the April 11, 25, May 09 and June 27 dates. Alternatively we can hold over your donations and transfer to any artist on a future LRB music evening. All artists booked up until June have been in contact with ourselves over the last couple of days to reluctantly tell us that there was no alternative but to cancel all touring planned for UK and rest of Europe. Everyone keep well, stay safe, have grace (thank you Elles so well put) and please look out for those less fortunate. All at Little Rabbit Barn

THE WANDERING HEARTS |***SATURDAY 06 MARCH 2021*** | NEW DATES for our In Harmony tour! We are rescheduling our In Harmony Tour to March 2021. We really hoped to see everyone on tour in August, but sadly, it’s just not possible within the current government guidelines. The impact of COVID-19 on the live music business has been devasting and we would really appreciate it – if at all possible – if you could keep hold of your tickets in order to support the venues and everyone who works in live music. We can’t wait to get back on the road and connect with you all in person. Until it’s safe to do so, stay well, and we promise to deliver a tour worth the wait!! Guest places for Little Rabbit Barn will be transferred to the new date. Refunds are available from LRB on request. Please make a request via contact page or direct by email.

CHERRY LEE MEWIS | NEW LIVE ALBUM | 5 tracks from LRB show on 21 July 2018 | Recorded over three separate performances from 2018 & 2019, this is an album you simply must add to your Cherry collection, the one album that truly captures that high energy CLM vibe, only experienced live. Recorded alongside Cherry's faithful band of Max Milligan, Robbie Stewart-Mathews, Nick Slater, Brian Greene and with special guest Lee Vernon on blues harp, this is a hotpot of bluesy soulfulness at it's best.

THE WANDERING HEARTS | MORGANWAY | SEAN TAYLOR | **DANNI NICHOLLS 2021 SHOW ANNOUNCED**

MORGANWAY | SATURDAY 26 SEPTEMBER 2020 | Super thrilled to announce a return to LRB. One moment is classic rock and the next mystical folk, catching the attention of Whispering Bob Harris and many others in the rising British Americana scene. Their collective obsession with ‘70s West Coast rock is also met with a love of Brit Rock, folk and modern Americana. Described as “One of Britain’s most exciting unsigned bands...they are going places.”

SEAN TAYLOR TRIO SHOW | Saturday 31 October 2020. Sean Taylor’s unique songwriting is a late night cocktail of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Jack Kerouac; with a voice that is a cross between John Martyn and Van Morrison and a guitar style that sounds like an acoustic Stevie Ray Vaughan jamming with JJ Cale…His live shows fuse world class songwriting with stories from the road. “Articulate, compelling ... brilliant” ****Mojo Magazine

RESCHEDULED TO YEAR END SHOWDOWN | Saturday 31 October 2020 Eagerly anticipated EP ‘Innocence Of Youth’ due to be released in May '20 followed by a full-length studio album in September '20.

WHEN RIVERS MEET | DUO SHOW | Saturday 31 October 2020 | Unique vocal-led approach to songwriting, dirty electric guitar and slide resonator mandolin create a minimalistic, contemporary Blues/Rock sound that echos 1970s classic rock with hints of the 1930s blues that inspire them. With an unconventional duo format for live shows, gutsy musicianship and powerful, fused vocal harmonies, they create an intense wall of sound.

POSTPONED | POSTPONED| DENNIS ELLSWORTH | Saturday 27 June 2020 | Full Band Show Unfortunately Dennis has postponed his UK Tour this summer NEW album “Common Senseless 'common senseless is a 13 track album. it was recorded over the past one and a half years with adam gallant at the hill sound in charlottetown, pei. that’s where we live. it’s got a lot to offer. a beautiful variety of songs of love, cynicism, doubt, current affairs, fortune and mental health.'

LYNNE HANSON and THE GOOD INTENTIONS | Saturday 10 April 2021 | Too tough for folk and too blues influenced for country, LYNNE HANSON's brand of "porch music with a little red dirt" can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full-on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. She's known for her high-energy, roots guitar driven live performances. RESCHEDULED FROM 2020

DANNI NICHOLLS | Saturday 29 May 2021 | Danni's music slips effortlessly between smoky soul, folk-pop and heart-wrenching alt-country. 4 out of 5 stars, Q Magazine | The Melted Morning 5 stars Maverick Magazine The LRB team is delighted to welcome Danni Nicholls back, an LRB favourite artist, for what will be a record breaking seventh appearance in the barn (confirmed on the artist boards).
