He’ll be appearing at the Whinbush Road venue next Friday, December 4.

Zander’s Bob Dylan-style vocals, heavy strum, and cheeky lyrics have made him a name to watch in the USA, and now he’s touring the globe to boost his second album Zander The Great.

The Club 85 Roots & Roll Cafe gig will also feature a headline turn from Beds-based Painted Lady, whose bittersweet male/female vocals will soon be heard on an EP release, as well as rising Walkern star Roxy Searle, Hitchin rockers Oldskool and Charmaine Dawson.

It’s only £6 on the door with music from 8pm – visit www.club-85.co.uk for full details.
