About The Dustbowl Sinners

Soulful Americana From London - "The best thing to ever come out of Staines" - Keith Richards
The Dustbowl Sinners's profile picture
Americana band
Chertsey
Public liability insurance of £10 million

From the unrelenting windswept plains of Byfleet & New Haw, and the brutal wilderness that is Staines-upon-Thames, comes the musicians' collective known as "The Dustbowl Sinners". The playing of soulful Roots and Americana music most Thursday evenings after tea, has become their only release from the merciless savagery of day to day existence in the abyss of wretchedness that is the North Surrey / South-West Middlesex delta. Formed in the dark winter nights of early 2018, "The Sinners" contribute thusly: Peter Harmer - Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Alex Tedesco - Guitar and Lead Vocals Stefanie Penkey - Accordion and Washboard Al Butler - Harmonica Dave Adamick - Dobro Ewan Penkey - Double Bass

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Acoustic Guitar, Dobro, Banjo, Harmonica, Accordion / Washboard & Double Bass

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can you roam around while you perform?

To a certain degree. We can perform completely acoustically, or also have a portable, battery-powered PA which can be set up very quickly.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We are happy to discuss setlist options in detail.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

We have a high quality PA system, which is included in the price. Lighting is an option which we can provide at an extra cost.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we may be able to do this for you.
