Review Centre: Americana Bands

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews."

"Last night I met up with some pals down at the very hospitable Mermaid Inn to check out the latest musical venture of the great Harmonica Lewinsky. We’ve always been highly entertained by his music hall/cockney act and indeed his 60s/70s cover material, but this was to be something of a completely different flavour – a country/ western swing experience! Launching into ‘Glendale Train’, Lewinsky and his band, The Highway Patrol, soon had the place rocking. The sound of finger pickin’ Dzal Martin’s Telecaster was the perfect accompaniment and upright bass player Ewan Penkey’s rhythm proved that no drummer was required. As well as rockers such as ‘Panama Red’, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ and the brilliant tongue-twisting ‘Hot Rod Lincoln’, Lewinsky and the boys were also able to deliver truly 'hurtin' & heartbreaking' melancholy classics such as Warren Zevon’s ‘Carmelita’ and Kenny Rogers’ ‘Ruby’. Their touching version of Commander Cody’s ‘Seeds & Stems Blues’, featuring the wonderful pedal-steel guitar playing of John Davis, (who had been impeccable all evening) had me almost crying into my pretzels. Personality and humour has always been an important part of Harmonica Lewinsky’s act and, with his usual banter and rapport, he certainly didn’t let us down. We particularly enjoyed the tongue-in cheek ‘All My Exes Live in Texas’. Thanks for a great night, boys – we look forward to the next time."

"We approached Owen in order to ask if he would perform at a charity night over in York. Owen was delighted to accept and on the night he even altered his set times so the catering staff could stick to their schedule. Always very obliging and his talent is there for all to see. Certainly a rising star on the UK country scene!!"

"We had a great time last night. We had Me & jiggs play at our going away party' and what a night to remember. We had a barbeque in the yard' .. the band came out to play an acoustic set of traditional tunes' ..all the young children gathered in a circle and danced to their hearts content. After about a half hour the band went inside where they had already set up for the performance .it was lively and there was something to suit everyone. The band had their own lights which brought the venue to life. It was unforgetable' we both really enjoyed it as did all of our friends. "

"The Midnight Anthem Rocks!!! They did an incredible performance of the National Anthem for the Hat Tricks at the Danbury Ice Arena, then played for our fans and the show was off the charts. Great play list, awesome sound and the crowd was feeling it. We will be bringing them back!!! "

"Owen arrived early, was polite and sang amazing country songs going above and beyond to sing songs that were requested from Jackson Dean to Max McNown, as well as the brilliant classics. I would highly recommend Owen and we have already booked him for my partners 60th."

"I hired the third rails to play my wedding, knew them through a friend of a friend so I didn’t really have a lot of high expectations. BUT THEY LITERALLY ROCKED IT. Everyone was dancing and having a good time. I asked them if they could place some of my favorite songs and they did! The absolute sweetest guys. Thanks for such an awesome night!"

"Cold Weather Company were an amazing addition to our event. Steve, Brian, and Jeff exceeded all expectations with original songs + covers! They have a unique sound, where Mumford and Sons meets Bon Iver. Perfect choice if you are looking for an Indie/Folk band, who put their twist on anything from The Beatles to Vance Joy. Already booked them again! Thank you, CWC!"
