Mr Plow - A simple man with simple songs. A little bit country, a little bit rock n roll, the rest junk food and prescription medicine. Served with side dishes of murder, misery and despair.
Mr. Plow grew up in the north of England. He now lives in the middle of England. He plays music of a gospel-surf-country-murder ballad-skiffle-folk-blues sort of genre.
Mr. Plow has played gazillions of live shows, with audience numbers ranging from 'zero' to thousands. Plow and the band have shared a stage with a host of acts, includidng rootsy stars such as Deer Tick, Imelda May, Silvio Berlusconi and Rastamouse. He first released an EP on Pink Box Records (2008), and recorded a live session for Mark Lamarr on BBC Radio 2. Debut album, 'The Book of Common Despair' was released by Pink Box Records in August 2009 to pre-tty pre-tty pre-tty good reviews, copious radio play, and many hours traipsing up and down the country to promote it (along with trusty sidekicks Mrs Crusher White (drums) and John The Revelator (guitar)).
Both The Guardian and The Sunday Times consider Mr Plow to be 'cultural' - Hmmm ..
Mr Plow's second album 'Joyful In Song Are We' will be released in Spring 2011. The Reverand J. McCourt (on bass) has been added to the ranks of Team Plow for 2011. Keep checking back here for the Mr. Plow story as it unfolds ...
