David Broad and the Meanwood Valley Stompers bring together country blues, rural swing and early jazz, drawing on the sounds of Americas deep musical roots. Based in Leeds, the trio move easily between blues, ragtime, folk and swing, creating music that feels both well travelled and warmly familiar.

Davids playing is steeped in the traditions of fingerpicking blues and folk guitar, inspired by artists such as Blind Blake, Reverend Gary Davis and Robert Johnson, while the bands love of swing dance and early jazz brings another layer of rhythm and energy to the sound.
Whether playing a packed late night bar, a festival field or a dance floor full of lindy hoppers, the Meanwood Valley Stompers carry the same spirit through everything they do: acoustic music played close to the roots, full of character, warmth and swing.
