Grateful Fred’s have been pioneering Americana and Roots music in Formby, Southport and Liverpool since 2010 and during that time have presented some of the best US, Canadian and World artists.

On the first Wednesday of every month, join the Fredhead’s at The Atkinson for a wonderful night of live acoustic music.

From the ranching country of southern Alberta, Canada, we welcome the return of the great duo Over The Moon – Suzanne Levesque and Craig Bignell. These award-winning multi-instrumentalists play a wild ride of music from 1940s western swing and Appalachian old-time to cowboy blues. What makes them special is their near-perfect vocal blend (which has been known to move people to tears) and their use of strictly acoustic instruments including ukuleles, washboard, kazoo, double bass, and guitars. Most of their songs are originals that tell stories of life in southern Alberta’s ranching country, and they were given their first album’s title song “Moondancer” by the late Ian Tyson himself. Their latest album “Chinook Waltz” showcases their beautiful two-part harmonies and the wide array of instruments they play. This is feel-good music at its finest!
