The Crescent recently celebrated its 10th birthday as an independent, grassroots Music Venue and Community Space. Over this period it has been recognised as an important part of York’s cultural scene, bringing diverse artists to the city, empowering local artists and businesses, and attracting visitors from around the UK.

Moulded in the fertile rock crescent of Columbus, Ohio, three-piece Golomb (rhymes with Column) channel Midwest friction into an album that seeks to find a genuine connection. The band boasts not one, but two bonded dynamics, something of an aberration among most trios. Siblings Xenia (bass) and Hawken (drums) tie down the rhythm section with songwriter/guitarist Mickey Shuman and Xenia turning their tags to spouse after years of dating. The close bonds between the members have fed into the band’s process — family and friends first and band second, leveraging years of trust to turn The Beat Goes On into an album that never wavers in its sincerity.

Golomb appear at The Crescent on Tuesday 4th November
