For one unforgettable evening on 28th June 2025, Crazy Coqs in Piccadilly plays host to a truly special event: Hilary Gardner & The Lonesome Pines live in London. If you’ve ever dreamed of vast American landscapes, timeless harmonies, and a nostalgic nod to the “singing cowboy” era, this is your night. Here are five reasons why this one-night-only show is a must-see:

1. A Critically Acclaimed Voice from NYC Lands in London
Hailed by The New Yorker as “a singer with a beguilingly subtle wit,” Hilary Gardner brings a rare and heartfelt vocal style that has enchanted audiences from New York to Nashville—and now, London. With past collaborations including Jeff Goldblum and Michael Feinstein, Gardner’s artistry is steeped in class, nuance, and undeniable stage presence.

2. Award-Winning Music with a Western Soul
The band’s album On The Trail has earned impressive accolades, including the 2025 Western Heritage Award for Outstanding Traditional Western Album, and ranked no.7 in The Times’ “20 Best Jazz Albums of 2024”. This isn’t just a performance—it’s a journey through a lush sonic landscape shaped by timeless melodies, poetic lyrics, and desert-daydream vibes.
