Willy Vlautin and his band The Delines have been touring the UK since 2014 and previously with his former act Richmond Fontaine. The Delines feature the exquisite vocals of Amy Boone with the drummer Sean Oldham and bassist Freddy Trujillo (both also formerly of Richmond Fontaine). The quintet is rounded off by Cory Gray on trumpet and keys.

Their debut record, COLFAX, appeared in 2014 and surprised fans and critics alike. Evoking a beat-up Dusty Springfield or a weary Rickie Lee Jones, COLFAX made over a dozen top ten year end lists. It was a four-year wait until their sophomore effort, THE IMPERIAL was released. Singer, Amy Boone spent much of that time in hospital beds recovering from serious injuries sustained in a car accident in Austin, Texas. When she was just strong enough to stand she finished THE IMPERIAL, a record that spent two weeks on top of the UK official Americana charts with the band playing sold out shows across the UK and Europe. The band returned with their cinematic third album THE SEA DRIFT which Americana UK and BBC6 Gideon Coe both made their ?Album of the Year?.

Willy Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, Uncut, Rolling Stone and Mojo, both as a musician and a novelist with seven books under his belt. Two of his books have become major films with another currently in production with Netflix for release in 2025.
