Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings - Trad Music, Musical Audacity and Theatrical Brio
Stroud
Dates: 28/09/2024
Venue: The Subscription Rooms, George St. Stroud. GL5 1AE.
Jon Boden has become the ‘stand out performer of his generation’ (The Guardian) of
traditional folk artists, but one whose repertoire extends far beyond the boundaries
of the genre.
Jon founded his band The Remnant Kings in 2009, originally formed to perform the album ’Songs from the Floodplain’, the first in his post-apocalyptic trilogy of albums. The performances combined the post-oil concept of the album, with other songs that might survive the apocalypse. In this genre busting mix, Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings performed concerts where folk songs, Bach, pop and jazz all rubbed shoulders with Jon’s own songs. This was all augmented by the use on stage of two wax cylinder players, which played specially recorded material.
The band went into hibernation for several years whilst Bellowhead hit top gear, but were reunited and relaunched to record ‘Afterglow’ in 2017, and have since contributed to the album ‘Rose In June’ (2019) and performances of Jon’s final album in the trilogy, ‘Last Mile Home’ (2021).
