Southern Tenant Folk Union - Revivals, Rituals & Union Songs

Southern Tenant Folk Union are London's bluegrass sensations who combine acoustic savagery with sacred-harp vocals into a high-octane review of up tempo numbers and mountain ballad laments.

Formed by Belfast born five-string banjo player Pat McGarvey and taking their name from the ground breaking multi-racial union of sharecroppers and non-landowning tenant farmers founded in Arkansas in the 1930's, the Southern Tenant Folk Union are an explosive outfit, writing and performing their own unique brand of Old-Time, Bluegrass, Gospel and Celtic Folk.

The Southern Tenant Folk Union 2008 release is Revivals, Rituals & Union Songs, which follows the same pattern of genuine and heartfelt bluegrass as found on their highly successful self-titled debut.
