The Dublin band offer a refreshing blend of raw sounds using an eclectic mix of instruments including acoustic guitars, fiddles, saxophones, an upright bass, harmonicas and even a guitjo (that's not quite a guitar, not quite a banjo).

The Country Mix FM regulars play Whelan's on May 31 before hot-footing it down to Kilkenny for the city's Rhythm & Roots Festival, where they play 5 free gigs over the weekend.

Tickets are €10, on sale now from the WAV box office and usual outlets.
