The Coal Porters are an odd little band based out of London. They are led by American, and Long Ryders founder, Sid Griffin. They recorded their new record Durango over two weeks they spent in that Colorodao town. They will be returning to the states to bring their brand of bluegrass to SXSW on Wednesday, March 17 at 11:00 PM at Opal Divine’s Freehouse. But they’ll be playing a bunch of other shows in Austin:
