Joe Harvey-Whyte & Bobby Lee

An ambient and psych-country evening in London by Joe Harvey-Whyte and Bobby Lee, presented at The Old Church in Stoke Newington. The night showcases their collaborative project Last Ride.

Joe Harvey-Whyte and Bobby Lee work together on Last Ride, a project that combines ambient pedal steel with psych-country textures. The music blends cosmic country, British folk and new-age mellowness, and includes dusty instrumental pieces that recall the film Paris, Texas.

The project's stated reference points are Eno, Arthur Russell, Gram and JJ Cale. Its sound is described as merging west coast canyon rock with kosmische choogle, building soundscapes in which the pedal steel moves between open, slow-developing landscapes.

The Old Church is a religious building on Stoke Newington Church Street in north London. The evening suits listeners drawn to ambient music and cosmic country, and the set is built around the duo's shared work.
