Track Dogs bring their indefinable magic to St Michael's Church as Nansledan Arts Festival reaches its midsummer crescendo. This Madrid-based quintet has spent two decades crafting their distinctive sound – a compelling fusion of acoustic guitar, electric bass, trumpet, cajón and four-part vocal harmonies that transforms "sunshine-y songs thriving on dark themes" into irresistible rhythms.
Their genre-busting approach seamlessly weaves Americana, bluegrass, folk and blues into something entirely their own. With eleven albums and performances spanning Glastonbury to the Royal Albert Hall, Track Dogs have mastered the art of keeping audiences guessing – one moment deadly serious, the next revealing their finely-tuned humour.
Set within Newquay's atmospheric St Michael's Church, this anniversary tour performance promises an evening where foot-tapping inevitably becomes dancing. As critics note, they're "the antidote to a bad day" – pure musical joy that celebrates the festival's finale in style.
