A Bristol-based duo will bring their mix of alt-Americana, blues rock and neo-psychedelia to Newbury.

True Strays will perform at Arlington Arts Centre on Friday, April 10, at 8pm.

The band, formed lifelong friends by James Cameron and Joseph James, is known for its raw sound and personal lyrics.

Their latest album, Never Ending Sunset, was self-produced over six months and features 14 tracks exploring life's fragility and resilience.

Songs like Shine A Light and Father of Mine reflect personal experiences, from childhood grief to brushes with death.

The duo, who work as a roofer and a primary school teacher by day, have toured the UK and Europe, performing more than 100 festival sets, including Glastonbury.

Their music has been featured on Spotify’s Nu-Blue and Modern Blues Rock playlists, as well as by BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 4.

Twice nominated as Emerging Act of the Year at the UK Blues Awards, True Strays have built a grassroots following with their soul-drenched live shows.

Tickets for the show are priced at £16, with a £1 booking fee per ticket.
