Championed by Matt Spracklen on Absolute Radio Country “A brilliant mix of amazing, rootsy, Americana, country goodness!” and Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music “They play like they mean it!” Fine Lines is a seven piece British band that plays exquisite roots-infused Americana. Started by singer-songwriter David Boardman in 2016, the band has build a deserved reputation with fans of authentic live music up and down the country. The debut album ‘Hour Of Need’ and follow up, ‘Gaslight Roses’, both received universally glowing reviews upon release in  2017 and 2019 respectively and they have been performing to increasingly more appreciative audiences ever since including festival appearances with Texas, Razorlight, folk rock giants Merry Hell, John Power (Cast) and Miles Hunt (Wonderstuff).

Their sound has echoes of Dylan & the Band, Mercury-era Rod Stewart and Bruce Springsteen whilst maintaining a unique quality that is singularly their own. Centred around the twin vocals of Boardman and Zoe Blythe, the sound is perfectly complimented by the fine playing of musicians Gary O’Brien (piano and Hammond organ), Emily Doggett (fiddle), Chris Lee (pedal steel), Jim Broughton (bass) and BBC radio & TV presenter Mark Radcliffe (drums). The band’s third album ‘Deadbeat Lullabies’ was released on 25th October and was written by the group’s songwriting partnership of Boardman and Radcliffe. David’s yearning melodies perfectly complimenting Mark’s nuanced, observational lyrics.

‘Hour Of Need’ and ‘Gaslight Roses’ are also available on Parade Recordings.
