The Delines at The Glee Cardiff

The Delines return to tour the UK and EU in support of their 4th album out February 2024. The album was just mastered and brings more of their country-soul.

The debut record, COLFAX, appeared in 2014 and surprised fans and critics alike. Evoking a beat-up Dusty Springfield or a weary Rickie Lee Jones, COLFAX made over a dozen top ten year end lists. It was a four-year wait until their sophomore effort, THE IMPERIAL was released. Singer, Amy Boone spent much of that time in hospital beds recovering from serious injuries sustained in a car accident in Austin, Texas. When she was just strong enough to stand she finished THE IMPERIAL, a record that spent two weeks on top of the UK official Americana charts with the band playing sold out shows across the UK and Europe.

The band returned with their cinematic third album THE SEA DRIFT which Americana UK and BBC6 Gideon Coe both made their ‘Album of the Year’.  Penned by guitarist and songwriter Willy Vlautin with arrangements by keyboardist Cory Gray and the rhythm section of Sean Oldham and Freddy Trujillo. Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, Uncut, Rolling Stone and Mojo, both as a novelist with seven books under his belt (two of his books have become major films with Lean On Pete currently being made into a Netfilx movie out 2025). Willy, Oldham and Trujillo also lead the alt-country outfit Richmond Fontaine whom released over ten albums before breaking up in 2016. 2022/23 saw the Delines performing at EU festivals plus releasing two more singles plus a soundtrack, the band will be playing songs from including past classics.
