MacArts

Feb 2024

We took the full Augmented Joes lineup on the road, supporting our great friends Blue Deal, a German Blues Rock band on tour in the UK!

MacArts is a wonderful venue in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. A fantastic turnout made the night even more special!

Behind the scenes…

Jan 2024

Full of turkey and hope we raised the Augmented Joes lineup from its Winter slumber.

A new year brings with it exciting opportunities and one of them is just around the corner, with us supporting Blue Deal on their short UK tour in February.

This is what a practice often looks like, at the Arcadia Music Hall. If only we’d remembered to put the heating on!

Biggar Little Festival

Oct 2023

A new set, 3 new members and a whole lot of fun!

We decided to play a one off show for Biggar Little Festival. A musical tour of the west coast of the USA, from Laurel Canyon, LA, California through to the cooler climbs of Seattle in Washington State.

Huge thanks to Alex, Inga and Stuart for joining us and making it such a great night!

Oronsay, Skye

June 2023

Not a gig per se (though we did play a couple songs to a family with 2 young boys, whilst we were sat on the rock in the photo!) but we had a great time on Skye, catching up with pals and writing songs. We hiked to the top of the island (Oronsay) behind us in the photograph before being eaten alive by midges. No surprise for the west coast of Scotland in June.

One of the new songs (The Shores of Caledonia), we recorded whilst sitting in Dun Beag Broch only a couple of miles from this point. A special moment as the walls reflected our music back at us, enveloping us in sound.

Dreadnought Rock

Feb 2023

Sound check prior to a fantastic gig with our very good friends Blue Deal, who were over on tour from Germany.

We played a short set and then joined them on stage for the finale. An unforgettable night!

Dunbar Harbour Festival

An opportunity too good to miss at Dunbar harbour!

A great crowd and the best post gig feed from the seafood shack!
