7 years ago
One of the Liverpool’s finest and best loved bands are coming home for a very special intimate gig in Liverpool
Jack Daniel’s and the Music Venue Trust are to host the homecoming gig featuring Circa Waves at Liverpool’s own EBGBs on April 5th. Continuing the brand’s ongoing support for independent music, 100% of the ticket price will be going to the Music Venue Trust, a charity created to protect the UK live music network by securing the long-term future of iconic grassroots venues.
Having met on the local Liverpool music scene, Circa Waves enjoyed a phenomenal ascent to the upper reaches of the current indie scene. After hitting the Top 10 with their debut album ‘Young Chasers’, their second album ‘Different Creatures’ was heralded by NME as “something to believe in.”
Based in the heart of the city centre, EBGB’S extends the city’s rich musical heritage by providing a live music venue in its basement – the perfect place for the next wave of talent to master their craft.
Bringing the band back to their hometown, the show will be a rare opportunity to see one of UK’s hottest rock bands Circa Waves playing to 200 people in the city that made them. The gig is part of a three date, mini-tour this April which includes Peace at Birmingham’s Sunflower Lounge and Band of Skulls at Southhampton’s The Joiners (25th) Jack Daniel’s recognises the importance of where you come from, every drop of Jack Daniel’s is made in Lynchburg Tennessee, the birthplace and centre of its distilling tradition for over 150 years.
Mark Davyd, CEO of the Music Venue Trust, commented;
“We’re thrilled to extend our partnership with Jack Daniel’s with these fantastic Homecoming shows which are a vital part of the nationwide Fightback by grassroots music venues, artists and audiences. Working together we can stop closures, secure a long-term future for venues, and start to improve Britain’s grassroots circuit.”
Tickets for the show go on sale from midday Friday 2nd March and will be available here.
