Curiosity Shop

Curiosity Shop, a act playing blues, country and folk, performing at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city.

Curiosity Shop performs music in the blues, country and folk traditions. Blues grew out of African American work songs and field hollers in the rural Southern United States, built on repeated verse forms and expressive guitar and vocal phrasing. Country and folk draw on older ballad and string-band traditions, in which a narrative and a plain melody carry most of the weight.

The Glad Cafe hosts concerts and shows in Glasgow, so this performance sits within the city's live music calendar. The three styles share roots in the rural string and vocal traditions of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. For anyone seeking these roots styles in Glasgow, the night offers a direct way to hear them performed live.
