Josh Rouse: Nashville 20th Anniversary
Two decades on from its 2005 release, Nashville comes to Glasgow as Josh Rouse brings a full-band performance of his acclaimed fifth album to Celtic Connections!
About Josh Rouse: Nashville 20th Anniversary
A genre-hopping singer-songwriter, Rouse has built a solid career spanning over 25 years. From his 1998 debut, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, to his 2003 breakthrough, 1972, Rouse’s well-crafted, hook-laden tracks are complemented by rich, well-observed lyrics — and Nashville is no different.
Written as a farewell to the city he called home for a decade, we invite you to hunker down in Drygate Brewery and discover first-hand why Entertainment Weekly called this album “persistently gorgeous.
