Delaney are an Acoustic Blues Duo originally from Sheffield and Kent in the UK who formed in late 2011 by songwriters, Jennie Delaney and Kirk Little. Since those early gigs honing their talents on the London music circuit, Delaney have graced many historic venues including, Ronnie Scotts, The Troubadour, Ain’t Nothing But Blues Bar and the 12 Bar. Their blend of country blues and Americana has also gained them recognition on a selection of Festivals most notably the 2012 London Olympic Games and Brighton Fringe Festival. Even though they are a duo they can certainly pack a punch with some gritty honesty and powerful lyrics. This will be Delaney’s first tour of the US and are hoping to reach out and make some new friends with their own blend of blues to NYC.
