PERTHSHIRE ADVERTISER (Perth Scotland ) May 28, 2002

Transatlantic Country on the Menu – by Dave Acari

Avant garde Americana singer/songwriter Doug Hoekstra makes his first visit to Perthshire on Wednesday for a show at the Bein Inn.

Hoekstra’s recent Around the Margins album was reviewed in glowing terms in last week’s CD Listen. It’s just the tip of the iceberg, though, as gig-goers will find out when they hear the US artist’s live show.

Also on the bill is John Miller, frontman of superb Glasgow band Radio Sweethearts. His latest album, Popping Pills, is a country-flavoured masterpiece which has all the cult appeal of early Hank Willams and the wide cross-section appeal of the Mavericks.

Doug Hoekstra & John Miller play the Bein Inn by Glenfarg on Wednesday 29 May
