The Phil Davidson Roadshow

The Phil Davidson Roadshow (also known as ‘Red Lester & the Crackers’) are Helen Hutchinson (bass), Seonaid Matheson (fiddle), Paul Bienek (banjo), Phil Stott (mandolin), and of course Phil Davidson (Guitar and vocal). They are all well-seasoned musicians who have been friends for more years than they care to remember.

 

The band was born out of a post-pandemic open-mic scratch band at the Gower Bluegrass Festival back in 2021. They all enjoyed it so much, and had a few subsequent open mic outings culminating in a performance at the Didmarton Bluegrass Festival last September.
