Rhiannon PaigeHailing from Bristol, Rhiannon Paige is a country-pop-rock powerhouse making serious waves in the UK country scene.
She smashed it in The Road to Nashville competition, placing in the top 50 out of over 20,000 applicants, has been featured on BBC Introducing, and her songs are spinning on radio stations across the UK. She’s rocked a sold-out headline show at Ron’s Honky Tonk in London, played Oxted Festival 2024 alongside Ella Henderson, Sigala, and Harley Moon Kemp, opened for First Time Flyers at RoadHouse Unplugged, joined Kezia Gill on her Kezia Gill and Friends Tour, and even opened up for Jools Holland at Good Times Live. Rhiannon has also had the thrill of singing alongside Sam Ryder, further cementing her place as one of the most exciting rising voices in the scene.
Her debut EP Playing Games dropped in 2023, celebrated with a packed-out launch party in Bristol. She followed it up with her own UK tour across York, Manchester, and Bristol, showcasing her music to growing crowds around the country. And if that wasn’t enough, she also had the honor of singing the Australian National Anthem for 15,000 people at Ashton Gate Stadium before the Bristol Bears vs. Wallabies match in 2024.
Online, Rhiannon is just as unstoppable. She’s built a 19K+ strong TikTok following, with her cover of Holding Out for a Hero racking up a jaw-dropping 1.3 million views.
BearFoot Soul
US‑born singer‑songwriter BearFootSoul brings a powerful blend of Appalachian roots, blues, soul and Americana. After leaving Northern Appalachia with a bundle of cherished family vinyl, he travelled Europe and settled in East Anglia, where his homesick, soul‑searching songwriting took shape.
Since 2021 he’s reignited his musical fire, earning a reputation for gritty lyrics, soul‑powered vocals and authentically earthy acoustic performances. Along the way he’s worked with Jimmy Rodgers, Mick Taylor, Zoot Money, The Hoax, Joel Fisk & Giles King, cementing his place in the UK roots scene.
His upcoming EP RoadBumps & Revelations was produced by Andy Strange at the acclaimed Strangeworld Studios in London — a name associated with artists like Paolo Nutini, Mark Knopfler, Elton John and George Michael. The result is a warm, resonant, beautifully crafted collection of songs shaped by world‑class ears.
A sonic elixir of grit, graft, grace and gratitude from a modern‑day musical medicine‑man.
