Need a reason to attend Sir Richard Bishop? Here you go!
How to make sense of an act like Sir Richard Bishop at Roadburn? With an instrumentation like straight outta the drug-infused dreams of some acoustic-aficionado of the mightiest Rock bands of the 70s? Bands liek Led Zep, Purple and even Steppenwolf might be the grandfathers of Richard’s music. This is as much Hillbilly Bluegrass at it is classic Heavy Rock. And why does he do that? To show off his skills? Probably not. To show what is possible? Maybe. To find another outlet apart from his famous one, Sun City Girls? For sure. To incorporate other styles into his venture in the American Primitive music movement? Definitely! You can hear his ear for how to completely alter a track within a matter of seconds without the help of amplification. Now - why is he a good fit for Roadburn? Because you can totally lost in this man’s sonic visions, and especially on a Sunday these are a welcome change!
Sir Richard Bishop will perform on Sunday, April 19!
