BANJO MASTER MIKE SCOTT TO PERFORM AS FEATURED ARTIST
ON UPCOMING 15 CITY U.K AND IRELAND TOUR
Nashville, TN (August 27, 2019) Rural Rhythm Records recording artist and master banjoist Mike Scott will be a featured artist on the upcoming 15 day tour with the popular Irish group Stephen Rosney & The Back Axels. Nasville fiddler Travis Wetzel will also be a featured artist on the tour. The tour dates will cover many key cities in Ireland and the United Kingdom commencing on September 12th.
“While playing music around the open heart fire at a traditional session of singing and storytelling in my home house long ago, the local priest suggested a band name and so i thought it appropriate to call ourselves this name "The Back Axles" , as the music of old Ireland plays a big part in our music and song writing today. The band members come from all parts of Ireland bringing with them their own style of music which forms the unique sound of The Back Axles. Hope to meet you all along the way.”
?- Stephen Rosney
