The Silver Wye (Album release) + Stylusboy @ Temperance
May 25 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

The Silver Wye is a band named after a moth, a river and a device for changing track.

The group is a collaborative project featuring a core of Midlands based musicians Ben Haines (drums & percussion), John Parker (double bass & electric bass) and Wes Finch (guitar and vocals) who are joined with various friends when circumstances allow.

It is a space for this group of musical friends to step a little outside of the realms of folk and Americana music into more electric, experimental and electronic places.

You can find their first EP on streaming sites and John & Wes’ LIVE@Temperance album at The Silver Wye‘s Bandcamp page. Search ‘Wes Finch The Silver Wye‘ on Youtube for visuals too.
