Fred’s House release debut album, Bonnie & Clyde

Fresh from winning the NMG award for ‘Best Folk & Roots Act’ and ‘Audience Choice’ (as voted by the general public), Cambridge folk-rock quintet Fred’s House are hitting the road in March/April for a full UK tour in support of their outstanding debut album, Bonnie & Clyde

The album, which follows hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed debut single, Fine Life, features 11 beautifully crafted tracks fusing familiar instruments such as acoustic/electric guitars, grand piano, bass and drums alongside extravagant arrangements for the banjo, cello, accordion, violin, Hammond Organ and even a subtle synth on a bed of powerful vocals and stunning three-part harmonies.

A band that have mastered the art of being both delicate and rousing in equal measures with their West Cost-inspired acoustic rock, Fred’s House have built a dedicated and loyal fanbase nationwide thanks to their exceptional live performances across the UK.

Following triumphant sell-out shows in their hometown, the band hit the road to promote Bonnie & Clyde with an extensive spring tour, before a run of summer festivals.

Fred’s House are fronted by couple and songwriting partners Vikki Gavin and Griff Jameson, along with Griff’s brother Gafyn Jameson on bass/backing vocals, lead guitarist/songwriter Lachlan Golder and drummer/percussionist Paul Richards. Since their formation in 2010, the band have played in excess of 250 live shows picking up a series of rave reviews from all quarters of the country along the way. Alongside regular airplay on BBC 6Music, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and BBC Radio Wales (including a BBC Introducing Session) the band have become a staple of the UK festival scene with appearances at prestigious festivals including Bestival, Cambridge Folk Festival and The Secret Garden Party.

Bonnie & Clyde is released on Monday, 21 April via independent label Cracking Tunes.
