Damian and his fantastic band are scheduled to play several summer festivals this year! More dates could be added but for now, here is the line-up.

Up first is Black Deer Festival of Americana at Eridge Park located on the Kent/East Sussex border near Tunbridge Wells on Saturday June 15. Damian will play the main stage ahead of headliner Sheryl Crow. Damian played a gig at last year’s festival and is a welcomed return. Black Deer is an award-winning UK festival in celebration of singer-songwriter music, such as Americana, Folk, Bluegrass, Roots and the Blues. Described as being dropped into a musical melting pot, you’ll find wholesome food and drink, artisan wares, boutique camping, a saloon bar, BBQ arena with smokehouse cooking and demos/masterclasses with renowned chefs, custom-built motorcycles, and the great outdoors. It will be a jamboree! Get ticket information here.

Next up is Pub in the Park at Chiswick House and Gardens in Chiswick ahead of musician Jools Holland on Sunday, June 30. Pub in the Park is billed as the ultimate crossover of food and music – one of the hottest foodie destination this summer. The festival has carefully curated a line-up of award-winning and Michelin-starred eateries and you’ll be able to hop between pop-up restaurants to feast on exclusive menus created by the nation’s best chefs and restaurants, all the while listening to brilliant live music. Sounds like a culinary delight. Get ticket information here.
