Rufus Coates & Jess Smith - live in der Wildenbruch Bar
Rufus Coates and Jess Smith form the acoustic duo from the alt blues folk band Rufus Coates & the Blackened Trees.
They are an Irish dark, Blues/Folk combo who are currently based in Berlin. Their music is dark, atmospheric and unique. Their live performence always proves to be a heartfelt and atmospheric affair.
"the gravel-voiced Nick Cave-esque Coates, with a counterpoint of the sweet female vocals of Jess Smith, these are dour blues songs that have enough beauty to lighten the hearth of the home." Nialler9 'Album of the Week', Irish Times
"Listening to this debut LP from the Irish 5 piece brings to mind what is most enjoyable about music for me: being transported by sound, being suggested to by style and being impressed by complexity". Dublin Concerts
