Tumbling Bones offer a fresh spin on Americana

Red-hot Americana trio Tumbling Bones play The Crane Bar on Tuesday next, April 29. The show will be the final date in a 17-date Irish tour that began last Sunday in Tí Neachtain on Cross Street.

“That’s kind of a home base for us. It was a session for us, we were playing acoustically in the corner of the pub,” says singer and guitarist Pete Wynne about Tí Neachtain.
Tumbling Bones will also be playing in Belmullet, Westport and Ballybofey in Donegal, as well as making a trip to the Aran Islands for a show in Inis Oírr.  That’s a more extensive tour than most Irish bands would manage. Why are Tumbling Bones so keen to play all over Ireland?
“A lot of American bands play a show in Dublin, Cork and Galway and then they go on to England or continental Europe, but we like to think of Ireland as one of the main reasons for coming over,” says Pete.
“Even though it’s a small country, it’s a country where people really appreciate traditional music and they have a lot of respect for the arts in general. I think there’s a lot of links between our music and the music here.”
