The Delines
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The Delines, who have played sold-out shows and topped Americana charts across Europe for half a decade, are the joined forces of Amy Boone from legendary Austin, Texas, band The Damnations (Sire Records) and members of Americana cult heroes Richmond Fontaine, including songwriter and novelist Willy Vlautin. Based out of Portland, Oregon, Richmond Fontaine released 11 records and toured extensively in the US and Europe. Uncut magazine named the band’s 2003 album Post to Wire the fourth-best record of the year.
“We’d crossed paths with The Damnations a ton. Amy’s sister, Deborah, even sang on a couple of our records. So we were pals,” says Vlautin. “And then one tour we hired Amy to play keyboards with us and we did a BBC radio show in Glasgow. During the session she was alone in the studio playing piano and I happened to be in the control room. She didn’t know there was a hot mic; she was singing a ballad to herself, and the way she sang it just killed me. I knew right then that I wanted to be in a band where she sang all the songs.
