Spring is in the air and the sap is rising. Time for a showdown… time to get down to Letham Nights for another night of great, great music… and maybe some dancing …and some pizza…

This time we bring you…
Miss Quincy & The Showdown – a smokin’ hot all-girl trio all the way from Canada, featuring electric guitar, upright bass, and drums. We heard about Miss Quincy a few years back; been trying to get a date fixed ever since. And finally we managed! Channeling The Runaways, The Black Keys, and Big Mama Thornton, Miss Quincy doesn’t fit the classic girl singer/songwriter mould and The Showdown isn’t your average all-girl band. You won’t find them singing pretty pages out of their diaries. Instead you’ll find them starting a party everywhere they play by getting down and rocking out with raunchy roots & blues and straight up rock n’ roll.
Like The Devil Does, Miss Quincy’s second full length album is a moody collection of songs filled with dirty guitar licks, sweet gospel harmonies, swampy grooves, and stories of old time deal breakers. Miss Quincy and producer, Canadian roots & blues legend Tim Williams, set out to create an album with the gritty sound of tube amps, a tight rhythm section, and a band playing live-off-the-floor.
Good musicians playing good music, it’s the oldest trick in the book!
And we are not finished there! Opening for Miss Quincy and the Showdown, we present Letham Nights favourites….
The David Latto Band – our own dynamic duo comprised of experienced songwriters David Latto and Gavin Brady, returning with songs from their latest wonderful and highly acclaimed album. Drawing their influences from a diverse range of artists and songwriters- their largely acoustic sound taps into the vastness of the American country music tradition whilst paying respect to their Scottish roots. David and Gavin have produced a masterpiece here from cover art and production values to the sheer beauty and simplicity of the songs which channel an aching, heartbreaking Scottish Americana vibe like no other.
So are you ready for a showdown?
