Hey, Tonight! Roots, music festival with North American roots

Get ready for three days when American roots music will take center stage. Ten international, national and Valencian artists, united by the sound that comes out of the plains, prairies, deserts and mountains of North America.

Hey Tonight! Roots is a festival of North American roots music that brings together musicians, journalists, promoters and specialists in the genre. Its first edition will be held from December 7 to 9 in the Loco Club hall, and the schedule will feature concerts, colloquiums, DJ sets and the recording of the "Radio con botas" show with Manolo Fernández (Subterfuge Radio). Quite the event!

Schedule of Hey Tonight! Roots.

Luke Winslow-King

With his eclectic mix of Mississippi Delta blues, folk music, traditional jazz and rock 'n roll.

Track Dogs

Their style includes pop, folk, bluegrass and many others, with atypical instrumentation, since they replace the electric guitar with the trumpet and the drums with the flamenco cajón.

Lovesick

It intertwines styles such as hillbilly, honky tonk, bluegrass, old time music and country.

Daniel Kemish

Timeless American music.

Red Beard

From traditional country, hillbilly and bluegrass, to southern rock and, finally, the protagonism of soul-folk.

Tobacco Raiders

Southern rock accompanied by mandolin, lap steel, cigar box and banjo.

Henry Lee Schmidt

The union of British lyrics with American rhythms.

Los Nikis de la Pradera

The most traditional country sound. 

La gran esperanza blanca

Fusion of folk, rock, country-blues and alt-country elements with Spanish lyrics.

Desperados

Covers of music from the American west coast of the 70s.

Colloquium + Live "Radio con botas" Podcast

The live music will give way to a conversation in a colloquium on American roots music and its influence, with promoter José Luis Carnes, specialized broadcaster Manolo Fernández, and a representative from Ruta 66 magazine.

This is the first time that a festival dedicated to this music genre is being held in Valencia. If you're into dusty cowboy boots and music that tastes of bourbon and chewing tobacco, you have an appointment at the Loco Club from December 7 to 9.
