SHOW ANNOUNCE 💥 Road Less Travelled presents…

Delighted to bring Wexford twin brothers, The Ocelots to York end of May! The first of many gig announcements this year for the Arts Barge community venue.

Blood harmonies are the centre of The Ocelots’ sound - imperfections of a voice breaking or a tempo shifting. The band’s performances help form a driven, energetic scrapbook, coloured by flutes, synths, harmonica and harmonium. The twin brothers blend absurdity and sincerity in an array of literature-inspired musings. Open tunings and clawhammer banjo bring country-folk contemplation, but the imagery is very much urban, living outside of the romanticised glaze of wood cabins and cottage-core nostalgia.

TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM SEETICKETS ✨

Buy tickets for The Ocelots at The Arts Barge from the official retailer, See Tickets.
