Jo Carley & The Old Dry Skulls : New Line-up and more 2026

New Line-up and more 2026 gigs announced!

2025's been throwing a few curveballs — both in the world and personally — and because of that, James, who’s been our live and studio bass player for about eight years, won’t be playing with us anymore. We’ll miss him heaps and wish him all the best.......►►►

But here’s the exciting part — We’re thrilled to share that we’ve joined forces with a talented multi-instrumentalist who’s bringing a fresh and exciting new sound to the band. He’s breathing new life into our older songs with the deep tones of the Baritone Saxophone (think Morphine, CW Stoneking, Tom Waits), and of course, handling our steadfast bandmate — the Skeleton Double Bass too.

Please join us in welcoming Stéphane Spitz to the band!

Look out for our new singles/videos coming out in the next couple of weeks, with a third out in the new year!

…and we can already announce our first shows with the new line-up

18th April 2026 - The Green Note - London - Tickets

19th April 2026 - Crooked Crow Bar - Leighton Buzzard - Tickets

See you on the road in 2026 xxx
