The Putbacks are stone cold pros, grizzled veterans of all the tours and all the studios. As individuals, they’re the players behind so many bands it’s difficult to list. Featuring Simon Mavin on Hammond, Mick Meagher on bass, Tom Martin on guitar, Justin Marshall on percussion, and on the drum kit – Rory McDougall. Their collaboration with Emma Donovan elevates their music and Emma’s songs to another level, an enigmatic sound that can be heard on their most recent release Under These Streets (2021) written in the depths of lockdown, and prior to this Crossover (2020).

The Putbacks take their cues from the great house bands of the 60s and 70s soul studios - think of The MGs, The Meters and The Wrecking Crew, as well as film composers from David Axelrod to Adrian Younge and contemporary instrumental groups BADBADNOTGOOD and Khruangbin.
