BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Hailing from England, Skinny Lister formed in 2009 after meeting in the London folk scene and jamming together. The following year they released two EPs that were unique in their recording process -- the Grand Union EP was recorded while floating down a canal in a boat, while the Homemade Tour EP was recorded at the homes of family and friends while the band was on tour. They followed up the records with several shows throughout the US, the UK, and Germany, earning thousands of new fans along the way. After attracting attention from execs at Side One Dummy, Skinny Lister signed a deal with the label and released their 2012 debut album Forge & Flagon to major critical acclaim. The band has shared the stage with Dropkick Murphy's and Boy George and is becoming well-known for their sprightly live shows and driving punk-meets-folk sound. Skinny Lister is a promising new act that keeps ticket buyers coming back for more after every performance.
