Sons Of Town Hall

“Unique and beautiful…unforgettable” Phil Collins
“Nothing short of stunning” Lisa Schwartz, Director Philadelphia Folk Festival
“Part balladry, part performance art…it’s totally cool. Think Simon and Garfunkel lost at sea and you get a sense of the mythic world at play here”  Philadelphia Inquirer
“Amazing, a splendour to behold. They simply exist on a different plane to everyone else” Folk Radio UK
“Purposely timeless yet anachronistic, a sort of aural steampunk” Sata Fe New Mexican
Welcome to the mythic world of Sons of Town Hall, the International, waterbourne duo of Ulysses Brown (UK) and Chester Jones (USA). The pair transcend time and space, dressed in threadbare Victorian outfits, they meditate about the ocean, and sing songs that beg you to sing along. Their songs are masterful in their own right, poetic turns of phrases sung with voices that are so perfectly matched it’s impossible to tell them apart, harmonies so sublime they’ll seem the work of witchcraft, and intricately finger picked guitar parts worthy of Apollo himself. But it is Sons Of Town Hall’s presentation that sets them apart from every other guitar slinging, song writing team out there.
The show is 3 parts concert, one part theatre, it’s unlike anything most have witnessed. The between song banter is unique and absolutely hilarious as they share their tales of travelling the world on the water and roaming the frontier looking for work. The affection they show for one another is contagious, and audiences leave in love with both of them, with each other and with life in general’ You will laugh. You will cry. You will be transfixed and transformed, drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition. Highly highly recommended.
