Sons of Town Hall—an immersive, theatrical folk duo blending storytelling, soaring harmonies, and adventure. Part concert, part performance art, their show will captivate fans of Simon & Garfunkel, Tom Waits, and Monty Python. American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/producer Ben Parker conjure their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th-century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love. They’re also the stars of the hilarious radio-theater fiction podcast series Madmen Cross the Water, which tells the adventures behind the songs from their forthcoming album, Of Ghosts and Gods.
In concert, the duo weaves wild stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. Audiences are uplifted and inspired, transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall’s harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition. Sons of Town Hall help us to dream and to hope. And in these turbulent times, their unique artistry is more important than ever.
