CALENDAR
Past Events
Californian singer songwriter Dorian Wood explodes onto the Birmingham UK scene, where his working class tales of woe and heartbreak are probably even more resonant than on the sunny East Coast of America. Friends of the stars will also be hosting and playing, performing beautifully crafted pieces from their debut album, Lighting and Electrical. Also performing at this special event is Birmingham's own singer-songwriter Dorian Wood, who inspired the gig in the first place when he was contacted on a name search by his Californian namesake. A very special evening not to be missed.
