Former Elephant Revival frontman turned solo folk and indie artist Daniel Rodriguez to swap American stadiums for intimate gig in Southwell

A folk artist has swapped American stadiums for a more intimate performance.

Americana folk and indie guitar star Daniel Rodriguez, from Colorado, and his band will perform in Southwell next Saturday (November 18).

It will be a taste of what can be expected at the Gate To Southwell Festival 2024, from July 4 to July 7.

Daniel made his name as the founder and frontman of Elephant Revival — a band Gate To Southwell festival organisers tried to book for many years before they split in 2018 — but then released his debut solo album Sojourn of a Burning Sun in 2020.

Well used to performing in American stadiums, the performance at Southwell W.I. Hall, off Queen Street, will be an opportunity to hear him in more intimate surroundings.

His acclaimed USA band features Zachary Jackson on bass and Justin Mazer on Telecaster guitar, with vocal harmonies from Emma Rose.

A solo artist in her own right, Emma also performs the support slot before Daniel takes the stage.

Tickets are £14 from the Gate To Southwell Festival website, or £16 on the door.
