The Delines formed after Willy Vlautin, former frontman of Richmond Fontaine, heard Amy Boone sing a single ballad. He was so moved that he spent over a year writing songs for her before asking whether she wanted to start a band. The result was a band centred on Boone’s expressive voice and Vlautin’s literary storytelling.

With Sean Oldham on drums, Freddie Trujillo on bass and Cory Gray on keyboards and horns, The Delines have created an understated, soul- and country-inflected sound, often described as cinematic and deeply rooted in storytelling. Vlautin is also an acclaimed novelist, and several of his books have been adapted for the screen, including Lean on Pete. The author Ursula K. Le Guin called him one of the bravest contemporary American storytellers.

The band’s new album, “The Set Up”, released on 6 March via Decor Records, is in many ways a sister record to “Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom”. Where romance previously took centre stage, The Delines now venture deeper into a darker, more vulnerable world. The album portrays the lives of those weighed down by drugs, of swindlers and of lost souls – clearly shaped by an America scarred by the aftermath of the opioid crisis. Songs such as “Dilaudid Diane”, “The Reckless Life” and “Walking With His Sleeves Down” carry a loneliness and fragility that heighten the band’s distinctive, atmospheric sound.

With “The Set Up”, The Delines cement their position as one of the most atmospheric, storytelling-driven bands in modern American roots music.

Daniel Boda Skoglund is heading out on the road with double bassist Anders Grahn! Together with Grahn, known for his collaborations with Daniel Norgren and Johan Airijoki, among others, Songs of Boda presents an intimate, vibrant duo format.

With a long shared history and strong musical chemistry, the duo move freely between stripped-back and more driving arrangements, with presence and spontaneity at the heart of their performances. The repertoire draws on the entire Songs of Boda catalogue, alongside the friends’ personal interpretations of shared favourites. A format that brings the audience close and allows each performance to take its own shape.
