Jason And The Scorchers arrive in the UK

Legendary Nashville cowpunks and alt. country pioneers Jason And The Scorchers arrive in the UK at the end of April for their first shows here since 1999.

Both frontman Jason Ringenberg and Scorchers' guitarist Warner E. Hodges have albums out to coincide – Jason, a 2CD retrospective / rarities set entitled 'Best Tracks And Side Tracks 1979-2007', while Warner releases his long-awaited debut album 'Centerline'. Both albums will be released May 12th.

Jason Ringenberg also has an extensive solo tour of the UK lined up throughout May, including numerous dates in his Farmer Jason guise, while Warner E. Hodges has a run of UK dates of his own slotted in immediately prior to the Scorchers shows.
