The Staves were one of The Guardian’s Pop Picks of 2012 and are playing a one off headline gig in Hebden Bridge on Tuesday 21 February.
Currently on tour with another rising star Michael Kiwanuka, The Staves have been picking up rave reviews in the last year and visit the Trades Club for a special intimate show.
The Guardian described the three Stavely-Taylor sisters as being able to ’reduce an audience to awed silence’, and they’re developed their sound on tour with the likes of Willy Mason, Josh Ritter and James Vincent McMorrow.
They’re also attracted the attention of legendary producers Glyn and Ethan Johns – whose combined credits include The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Kings of Leon and Laura Marling to name – who found The Staves’ talents so compelling that they both independently tracked the band down.
The Staves’ debut album, due for release in 2012, will be the first record on which father and son have shared production credits.
“This is a real coup for the Trades to get The Staves who will definitely be one of the break out bands of 2012, especially with New Folk being so popular at the moment, but hurry up because tickets are going really fast,” says Trades Club spokesperson Mal Campbell.

STOP PRESS….Folks – fresh from touring Europe with Noel Gallagher’s high Flying Birds – have now joined the bill. The Trades is a really small venue and this is real value for money at only six quid.
