News from the voodoo shack!

Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls 2023 was a fantastic year for the band, from being invited to play the UK Blues Challenge, to our debut at the Edinburgh Fringe to Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Psychobilly Freakout, Upton Blues mainstage, four trips across the seas to Europe

and with all the club shows in between there have been too many highlights to list. In fact 73 shows across 9 countries and all of them a highlight for us!

We love touring and meeting you all so in 2024 we wanna take our vaudeville blues and rockabilly rhythms everywhere possible. We are planning a lot of shows and festivals all over the UK and Europe this spring and summer, and full tours of Italy and Germany at the end of the year, so please tell your local venue or festival about us!

Lots of news, first up we're at the voodoo shack hiding from the wind and rain and having a sort through all the LPs and it appears that the 'Shake Them Rattlin' Bones' LP is almost sold out. It’s a great record and sounds fantastic on vinyl. No plans to repress this LP at the moment as the factories take at least 6 to 9 months to ship and manufacture. But, we are concentrating on making album five (watch this space for news on that).

The online store has been updated with all the merchandise we have in stock, check it out here - https://jocarleyandtheolddryskulls.bigcartel.com/

Shipping world-wide. EU orders will be shipped in March from the EU, so no import charges to pay!

Other news, some of you will be very happy to hear that we're also rehearsing and re-working some old songs from the 'Them Old Bones' and 'Shake Them Rattlin' Bones' albums to play at our shows in 2024.

“…This band is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill blues outfit. It's off-the-wall blues, honkytonk, and boogie with a pinch of country all mixed up like gumbo... I suggest you sit down with a drink and let Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls take you somewhere you would never dream of going..." Stephen Harrison / Blues Matters Magazine
