When I get there
As the evening’s house band, the young bucks from Wicklow made a splash at Dublin’s recent Johnny Cash tribute gig for all the right reasons.
As the evening’s house band, the young bucks from Wicklow made a splash at Dublin’s recent Johnny Cash tribute gig for all the right reasons. One might think that a 9-piece country band sounds rather excessive, but Bray Vista combine a number of sounds - harmonica, mandolin, guitar, piano - to create a multi-layered, evocative and rousing country sound. ‘No-one To Talk To’ is particularly touching, while ‘The River That Knows‘ neatly showcases their mastery. In short, it’s country music with soul.
