Sam Draisey And The Revolt

We are delighted that Sam Draisey and The Revolt are the first act to headline "Local &Live", Songs of Anger and Redemption's new programme of gigs highlighting local talent.

Given one word to describe his music, Sam Draisey will always choose 'honest'. Whether it's politics, family, solidarity or heartache, Sam's folk-punk style will leave you in no doubt as to where he stands on the subject. Joined by The Revolt for a rare full band show, expect it to be bigger, louder and more passionate than ever.

Influenced by the likes of Billy Bragg, Damien Rice and Cat Stevens, Sam has been plying his trade all over the country on the independent festival circuit and beyond. Audiences have been known to laugh, cry, sing and nod along (sometimes in time with the music, sometimes in agreement with the subject matter!).
