Back at the Queens Head in Rye for Good Friday with a few new original songs and old favourites.

ABOUT EMS

Steve Stone, song writing/lead vocals – Dave McKean, keyboards/backing vocals – Paul Brasington, violin.

Original songs, played with intensity and flair; music for bobbing around, singing along, and wiping away the odd tear; a semi-acoustic trio rooted in post-punk South London, filtered through the gentler country air of East Sussex and Kent.

Steve Stone’s songwriting harks back to the 70s pub rock which bled into punk, and has that same energy, but where punk was angry Steve mostly sings of love and loss. Then layer on some country grooves, vocal influences from Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen, jazzier undertones from Dave’s keyboards, Celtic and East European overtones from Paul’s violin and you have a sound that’s as unique as it is entertaining.
