Independent Country are 6 cowboys from Birmingham (UK) who take Indie classics on a rollicking ride to Nashville and back. https://independentcountry.org/ https://independentcountry.bandcamp.com
That's all the #content we'll be throwing into the #engagement volcano for now. Come along on Saturday 6th June to Birmingham's lovely Cannon Hill Park and have a blast with us.
Tickets here: macbirmingham.co.uk/events/rylan...
Unlike Spotify, we'll actually be paying the artists who perform. You can hear songs from everyone on the bill on this playlist:

Here's a promo video of the event, with footage of a brilliant day in 2025 when we welcomed @mikiberenyi.bsky.social, Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian, The Tubs, and more. This year will be like that, but with THE HOUSE OF LOVE.

If you insist on putting yourself through such things, there is an event over page on Zuckerberg's algorithmic shithole: fb.me/e/5E4S5hnqg
There is a dedicated [CHECKS NOTES] 'microsite' with all the info you need about The Ryland Caravan 2026. As more acts are announced, they'll be added here.

Lots of fun was had on The Woodland Stage at Bearded Theory last night. Beautiful setting amongst the trees, and a real blast to play to such an appreciative (and huge!) crowd. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, folks, and thanks for having us along for the ride.

Ask away!
Absolutely true!
Thanks Dave. We’d love to come and play over there.
New vinyl pick up today. Elvis kickin’ ass and takin’ names c.1969. Magical stuff. 👑
Thanks Sam. Glad you like it. Things come full circle this August, when we play with @mikiberenyi.bsky.social - she has Kevin from Moose in her band.
Thank you for the kinds words. We’ll check out that cover!
Amazing. See you there! Thanks a lot.
Enjoying the spring sunshine with an old favourite playlist: Marvin Gaye's Clueless Ass.

She does look a lot like him to be fair
Are you suggesting these tariffs are not well thought through and completely unworkable? 🤠
(Albatross is fine)
This seems fair enough.
When spring has sprung in England very few things sound better than @thememoryband.bsky.social.
Miki's album is deservedly getting some amazing reviews. We can't wait to hear these songs live when we host @mikiberenyi.bsky.social and they guys at the Ryland Caravan on August 10th in Birmingham.
You should come. It's be great. More info here: independentcountry.org/ryland-carav...
Glad you like it!
New #HMHB LP, song titles alone are cause for joy. You just know Record Store Day is going to hit the target.
We did one of those AI Action Figure things all the kids are doing, and in ours Magic Dave looks like Terry McDermott in a Cossack hat.
Roll up, roll up. The Ryland Caravan 2025 is go!
We've got an incredible line up this year: @mikiberenyi.bsky.social, The Tubs, @stuartmurdoch.bsky.social of Belle and Sebastian, plus us and lots more.
10th Aug, 2-10pm, MAC, Cannon Hill Park, Brum.
