A gig? What’s that?! Yes, it was only a matter of time before we announced one. One year on from releasing their debut studio album, we are delighted to bring Tugboat Captain to Glasgow as part of their UK tour.

A little more about the band: Born in 2017 as the solo project of London based multi-instrumentalist Alexander Sokolow, Tugboat Captain have morphed over three albums and a handful of EP's into an ambitious baroque-pop four piece. Growing from 2017's moody lo-fi debut 'The Tugboat Captain' through jangly, folk-inflected sophomore record 'Everybody Seems To Think That I'm A Raincloud', into the murky waters of a 2020 lockdown the band released their debut studio album, 'Rut'. On Rut the band emerge from the sonic limitations of homespun bedroom-pop accompanied by a ramshackle orchestra of friends with a grand, symphonic pop record which loses none of the intimacy of the previous work that garnered significant critical acclaim across the UK DIY community.

Supports TBA, keep your eyes peeled xo
