Ceol Rac Vintage!
From Lawrence, KS with a taste of Ireland, Carswell & Hope bring vintage rock sounds and sensibilities together with big harmonies, carefully crafted textures and inventive songwriting, to create a sound and experience all of their own.
Tháinig Carswell & Hope le chéile sa bhliain 2012 nuair a thuirling an tÉireannach Nick Carswell in Lawrence, Kansas lena ghiotár ina láimh aige, ready to bring his unique voice and inventive songwriting to the US Midwest. He soon found Jason Slote (drums), Austin Quick (bass/keys) and Jordan Tucker (guitar), and the sound immediately began to form the cohesive yet difficult to define space that Carswell & Hope inhabits. Tá comparáidí déanta idir an banna seo agus Elvis Costello, Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, Local Natives agus ELO.
C&H released their self-produced debut LP A Hunger in 2014, hailed as “an impressive debut” by Hot Press Magazine, and accompanied by an Irish tour. Ryan McCall joining the lineup on keyboards and organ further expanded the sometimes grandiose and symphonic sound. C&H have built a following sharing bills with Mayer Hawthorne, The Mowglis, Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze) and Mundy (IRL), as well as becoming a staple feature of the annual Kansas City Irish Fest.
