This is a standing/dancing gig

Heeding Woody Guthrie’s maxim, Alabama 3 have never feared the reduction of their technology. Consequently, Alabama 3 Acoustic is brave enough to go out on the road armed only with a battered acoustic guitar and harmonica, preaching Guthrie’s word that ‘this machine kills fascists.’

In homage to the classic delta blues slide players like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker and their own Rock Freebase, they present their acoustic slant on Alabama 3 and the music that has inspired them along the way.

Guitarist Rock Freebase has developed a style of guitar that combines elements of both MacDowell and White, with a hint of banjo picking and an urban twist. Complete with Larry Love’s whiskey-soaked vocals, Devlin Love’s soulful chorus and Nick Reynolds bad-ass blues on harmonica, they provide a rhapsodic and raucous acoustic gig.

Alabama 3 Acoustic have played all around the world in festivals, theatres, concert halls and prisons. Unrivalled, Alabama 3 Acoustic are on a mission to get you moving and will be the perfect way to end the 2024 Canterbury Festival.
