NEW Brunswick song-craftsman PJ Bond currently in the UK to support the release of his latest album Where Were You?.

He’ll headline a Rockbitch line-up in Basingstoke’s Sanctuary on Sunday, July 5.

The line-up in full:

9.20pm-10.30pm PJ Bond

Basingstoke Gazette:

PJ Bond is a wandering songster who has traversed the American and European landscapes more times than he can easily count. H e got his start over ten years ago in what was then called the DIY Indie scene, back when musicians still made money on CDs and people spent a lot of their time trying to get signed.

A decade later, Bond’s lyrically dark but otherwise upbeat songs span from introspective Americana to reverb-laden rock from an earlier era.

If forced to draw parallels and speak of influences, one might say he has drawn from the likes of Elliott Smith and Wilco, though he might prefer to credit Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan these days.

When not travelling the globe, PJ splits his time between Brooklyn, NY and Asheville, NC.

Rockbitch’s Jon says: “We try and grab PJ every time he comes to the UK – he’s one of our favourite acts ever. One of a kind.”

Basingstoke Gazette:

The Lion and The Wolf is the performing moniker of Thomas George. Thomas has been touring relentlessly since quitting his job exactly a year ago, and his addictive live set of dejected yet hopeful songs coupled with truthful and earnest vocals have seen him perform all over Europe and the UK.
