Jude Brothers returns to York after a mesmerising set at last year's Arts Barge Arkansas Hoodang.

This will be a beautiful show, with support from We Are Hannah, Dyr Sister and Rowan. Expect sweet and haunting melodies, harps, violins and that mushy feeling you get in your bones.

"A savagely lyrical, surreal chronicle of some of the darker, more obscure moments in American history. Cruel ironies, double entendres and surprisingly subtle humor are everywhere in his songs. Eller’s also got a fantastic new album, How to Make It in Hollywood, which finds him taking a full-throttle detour into dark garage rock and classic soul music along with the oldtime sounds that made him one of New York’s most riveting live acts"
