The Hanging Stars are guitarist/vocalist Richard Olson, drummer Paulie Cobra, guitarist/keyboardist Patrick Ralla and bassist Paul Milne. They have been making total waves in the cosmic country world ever since they burst on to the London scene with their unique blend of sun-dappled west coast Americana and distinctly British folksy psychedelia - all shimmering twelve string guitars, twangy telecasters and four part vocal harmonies. They played an awesome set at The Bear Club in November 2023 and we’re thrilled to have them back.
They picked up the coveted Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award at the AMAUK awards, crossed the Atlantic to play to a packed room at Third Man’s Blue Room, with owner Jack White approvingly looking on, in Nashville and in 2025 they produced a widely-acclaimed collaboration with Canadian folk maven Bonnie Dobson (famed in the 1960s as the writer of folk antin-nuclear anthem Morning Dew).
The future is looking bright for The Hanging Stars.
“Glowing, cosmic UK Americana ... a set of epic soundtracks conjuring kindred spirits Teenage Fanclub and the Velvets.”
“This is music for those who want to turn everything off and be immersed. If you end up surrendering to your own dreams, that’s okay. Just press play again.”
