Squash Blossom presents Spencer Cullum?s Coin Collection with Erin Rae & Sean Thompson at SPILL Think Tank on Monday 14th August 2023.

Spencer Cullum?s Coin Collection 2, sees the Nashville-based musician step further from the pedal steel and towards center stage. Released on the evergreen Full Time Hobby label, this new collection of tracks is a kaleidoscopic collection of folk, jazz, and pop, cut though with immaculately-rendered songwriting.

Although ?Coin Collection?s modus operandi was "a very quintessential English folk record, but with really good Nashville players?, Cullum says of ...Coin Collection 2 that ?I wanted to be different. I wanted to try and pull away from wearing my influences on my sleeve? I was trying to pick out ideas that were new to me. You can never escape your musical influences but I wanted them to be more hidden sub-consciously than upfront.? Though you can pick out the odd similarity to other things here and there - The Beach Boys? Friends LP, perhaps, or The Incredible String Band, or Joni Mitchell - the thing is decidedly Cullum?s own. What?s also reassuring is that there hasn?t been some giant sonic leap from ?Coin Collection, rather that the beautifully sun-kissed, English country garden, bees-buzzing-round-lager atmosphere has remained, but complicated, weirded, deepened.

DJs from 6.30pm, support tba.
