Dixon Sessions: The Bob Collum Band & Pete Davies

Across two decades and 6 fine albums, Oklahoma-born Essex-settled Bob Collum has cut a swathe through the UK Americana scene, bringing fistfuls of well-crafted songs and pin-sharp Tulsa-meets-Southend musicianship to venues up and down the country. Alt-country rock & roll with a dose of guilt, a dollop of sin and a drop of salvation.

Pete Davies is a singer songwriter originally from Cheshire, now based in Leigh-On-Sea. His musical style is influenced by folk and country among others. His lyrics explore human connection with moments of humour mixed with wistfulness and hope.
