We’re delighted to welcome Shotgun Jimmie back to Manchester – with special guests Dog Daisies!

Shotgun Jimmie is a singer-songwriter/one-person-band based in Manitoba, Canada. He’s been touring regularly and releasing records on Toronto’s You’ve Changed Records since 2009.

Jimmie cut his rock & roll teeth in the early 2000s, as part of the seminal Canadian indie outfit Shotgun and Jaybird alongside Canadian indie darling Julie Doiron (Eric’s Trip). He has appeared on recordings by John K. Samson (Weakerthans), Joel Plaskett (Thrush Hermit) and By Divine Right.

His 2011 release Transistor Sister was long-listed for Canada’s Polaris Music Prize. In May 2024 Jimmie toured the UK with Mathias Kom and Ariel Sharratt from the Burning Hell. This time around, in support of his new self-titled album, Jimmie will be accompanied by Canadian cellist Leanne Zacharias.

Special guests are Dog Daisies. Dog Daisies is a widescreen indie-pop group based around the home-studio adventures of songwriter Stephen Hudson. Inspired by midnight walks, motorways and the Lancashire coast, the band have released a flurry of cinematic, lyrical records earning them airplay on BBC 6 Music and supports for bands such as The Bug Club, Divorce, Katy J Pearson and The Lovely Eggs.

They return this Spring with their latest album Reclaim, due for release on Sheffield indie label Bingo Records and the follow up to 2021’s Moonbathing. It sets Ste’s characteristic storytelling lyricism to the backdrop of the Fylde Coast and asks the question: ‘How can you reclaim your spirit when it has been eroded by death, politics, hostile change, and the weather?’
