Glasgow sextet James Edwyn & the Borrowed Band are the latest act to sign up for the Glasgow Americana festival. The first single Passing San Ysidro from their second album High Fences will be released in August.

The band were formed in 2013, influenced by folk singer songwriters like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan as well as alternative country artists such as Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlins, the Felice Brothers and Ryan Adams. Their music is a mix of alt country, folk rock and roots orientated Americana.

2017 promises to be another busy and successful year for the band. With some high profile support shows for Johnny Fritz , Brent Cobb and Colter Wall already under their belt, the festival season will include performances on the main stage at Hebcelt , Southwell Folk Festival , Gig in the Goil, Butefest and Mugstock .
