Gig Information
Following the release and tour of critically acclaimed fourth album How We Got To Now in 2015, The Broken Heartbreakers retreated to the wings, the core songwriting duo of John Guy Howell and Rachel Bailey stepping out only occasionally over the past few years.
The Broken Heartbreakers are excited to be heading back to play their old haunt, the Wine Cellar for two shows in January with a five-piece line-up that sees singer/guitarists Howell and Bailey joined by Craig Monk (violin, guitar), Angus McBryde (bass) and Paul McLennan-Kissel (drums) for a journey through the band’s full catalogue and new material.
