Events in London, Manchester, Liverpool and York are just the start of the journey to expand the Black Deer brand, showcasing artists who are cementing their space on the Americana scene. Black Deer Live will be crossing the pond, back to the roots of Americana later this year in association with one of the USA’s leading independent promoter agencies with shows announced in New York and Florida with more to follow.
Today also sees the announcement of Black Deer Radio supported by Nation Broadcasting and Head On Media. The station will be bringing fans the live performances, headliner interviews from this year's festival and so much more, bringing to life the Black Deer ethos and culture and sharing all things Black Deer 24 hours a day.
Speaking on the announcement, Chris Russell-Fish Managing Director said: “You've been asking us to bring Black Deer Festival to a wider audience, beyond the three-day festival based in Kent. And we’ve listened. With Black Deer Live we hope to welcome fans from across the globe to the Black Deer family, introducing them to the best talent in this incredible genre”.
Black Deer’s Festival Co-founder Gill Tee will be heading up the Creative Production for Black Deer Live & Black Deer Radio added - “It was always the vision to create a brand that was not limited to one festival. We can’t wait to take Black Deer on tour this year, supporting some of the greatest grassroots venues across the country and giving incredible emerging and established artists more opportunities to showcase their talents both live and on radio.”
