On tour in the UK now (plays Oslo in London this Thursday 16th) and supporting Mark Lanegan in Europe this summer

In the face of an apocalypse, we all need a safe house. A place for sanctuary; not to hide, but to claim for our own. On his new album, South London’s unlikely bluesman Duke Garwood has found the perfect place for us all, and says it’s time to meet in the Garden of Ashes.

Duke will transport listeners this week on his own headline dates with Isle of Wight lone wolf Angelina in support and then again this summer with musical soulmate Mark Lanegan.

“I am an angry man; so angry I burn myself. So angry I heat up the air around me. This is the nuclear fuel I use to make music,” tells Duke. “In a world so full of pain and madness we need to be better than ever; to evolve not devolve. To become masters of our fate and stop listening to the snake talkers who would steal our last breath. It’s time to go Elvis and shoot the cursed TV.”

Only in the Garden of Ashes can such furious frustration be channelled. Whilst 2015’s breakthrough Heavy Love thrust Duke into the spotlight with well long-overdue praise for its clarity and the “mad blues” charisma of a musician at his 20-year career peak, Garden of Ashes takes it all up a level, higher than many would think possible. “This record is fantasy music,” Duke tells. “Beautiful apocalypse love music, it doesn’t hide from reality, but it could hide the listener from it all for a while.”
