The Verklempt Family
London
Featuring members of Dan Raza & The Shrouds, Troubadour Rose, and The Hallelujah Trails the newly formed Verklempt Family promise a high quality roots stew! More details to be announced...
The Verklempt Family are the brainchild of urban legend Tafkas Verklempt (a.k.a. north London roots reptile Lyle Zimmerman) accompanied by siblings Grumio (Gary Bridgewood), Hymie (Jamie Shaw), and Princess Anaesthesia (Lizzy O’Connor) Verklempt and their cousin Qarc Robóçan (Rob Corcoran).
With Byrdsesque harmonies layered on lopsided time signatures and an unusual instrumental confection of bouzouki, cittern, mandolin, ubass and percussion, they make a racket somewhere between refracked Americana and the traditional music of alternative universes.
