Tyler Ramsey. 2.4.26. Gosforth Civic Theatre.

Starting tonight’s show, Callum Pitt, with lovely vocal support from Eve Simpson, opens us up with a fine blend of gentle guitar and Americana-Isms. Layering his solo electronic guitar work with falsetto vocals, Pitt delivers an excellent 35 minute set complete with “Moths and Butterflies” and recent single “Ghosts along the coast line”. New song “Learning to walk” and the lovely “White Lillie’s on the water” stand out in a set filled with Josh-Rouse inspired songwriting and lovely harmonies.  Pitt’s recent releases show that he’s still one to watch. A quick turnaround is all that’s needed before Ramsey appears, all super low-key, humble and modest.  Demonstrating proficient guitar playing with his style of acoustic-flamenco-classic fretwork, Ramsey is a master of his craft – there’s no tricks or effects or peddles here as he wraps his way across standouts “No more shadow, no more sorrow”, “Celestun” and “Flying Things”.  A quick mine into his Band of Horses era also finds gold, with both “Everything’s gonna be undone” and “Evening Kitchen” showcasing the fine blend of Ramsey’s vocal and guitar capabilities.
