About

Dr T & The Dangerous Women bring a bold and evocative take on Americana music—rooted in tradition, yet strikingly original. Born on stage at the 2022 Whare Flat Folk Festival, this collaboration has evolved into a dynamic five-piece outfit that blends the soulful grit of high desert country with the rich musical heritage of California's borderlands.

Led by Dr Twang, whose musical roots trace back to the Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard intermixed with the other influences like Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane, the band weaves together original songs and reimagined classics with emotional depth and storytelling flair. For this show The Dangerous Women are - Sophia Bidwell on accordion and keys, Leigham Fitzpatrick on bass and guitar and Claire Louise on lead and backing vocals.

From intimate ballads to foot-stomping barn burners, Dr T & The Dangerous Women create a live experience that transports audiences across time and terrain. Authentic, captivating, and musically rich, this is Americana and country music the way it was meant to be heard—straight from the heart.
