THE Red Dirt Skinners, a genre-busting husband-wife duo, are performing at UTEA, The Chipping Hall, in Wotton-under-Edge on Saturday, October 28 at 8pm.

They are the first act in history to achieve accolades at the British Blues Awards and the British Country Music Awards, plus the distinction of finalists in the Folk category for the UK Songwriting Awards.

The current album, Behind The Wheel was nominated Album of the Year at the International Acoustic Music Awards and voted Folk/Roots Album of the Year in several polls.

Having no tie to any particular genre means that the Red Dirt Skinners’ sound is instantly recognisable.

With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos, the audience is swept along by the refreshingly different approach to music from this husband and wife duo.

With five critically acclaimed albums to their name, they have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are an experience to remember.

  • Tickets £12, £10 concessions available from utea.org.uk and from the Fish Out Of Water gallery.
