Known for a mix of innovative, soulful and traditional bluegrass and mid-century country, London’s Lunch Special now turn their attention to the women of bluegrass and country who have inspired their love of the genres.
Also featuring one of the UK’s finest bluegrass banjo players, Chris Lord, the band will pay homage to the giants of country and bluegrass, such as Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss, as well as showcasing their love and appreciation of lesser known women across the genres.
LUNCH SPECIAL: Started out as a bluegrass string band, Lunch Special have been captivating audience with their mind-blowing vocals, close-knit harmonies, and rambunctious energy since 2017. Taking inspiration from their diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, the London-based trio have created a soulful, raucous sound of its own kind through off-kilter originals and buried bluegrass, country, and gospel classics. Lunch Special have performed at various major UK festivals in the past years including Red Rooster, Maverick, and Glastonbury. In 2019, they released their debut EP Lunchtime Sessions #34, and their second EP Orphan’s Lament was released in 2021.
