"Luke Philbrick & the Solid Gone Skiffle Invasion" releases “Home Recordings: 2018-2021”
Innovative roots rock and skiffle music drawing on traditional blues, jazz and folk influences and with frequent forays into gypsy-tinged psychedelia. Breathtakingly powerful vocals, raw delta blues styled guitar and an almost tribal foot-stomping beat combine with a potent cocktail of saxophone, violin, and harmonica to create a special atmosphere.
Songs are distinctive and original relating to subjects such as slavery, losing one’s religion, death, cowboys and his father-in-law going to hell!
Hailing from South West England, Luke Philbrick and the Solid Gone Skiffle Invasion! have built up a strong local fan-base always leaving audiences wanting more during their many travels throughout the UK and Europe. Performances often feature homemade instruments, improvised jam sessions and a dynamic line up from stripped back solo shows, all the way up to seven or so performers if the audience wants to party on into the night!
