Self-proclaimed ‘Schizo-Alt’ band Blueshift have been steadily climbing the ladder of the Hertfordshire music circuit ever since they formed in 2022. Comprised of core members Kuba “Mat” Krzysciak and Brandon Pearson, the pair also play with Dan Sheridan on lead guitar and Alex Deeks on Bass. ‘Schizo-Alt’ isn’t so much a musical genre as it is a band genre, with the groups live sets featuring catchy pop-punk riffs one second and high-octane hard punk the next. The group is currently celebrating the release of their first single “Mind of Mine” with talks of another single and an EP in the pipeline
WILLOW FEY

Willow, an incredible young artist, masterfully blends the raw power of classic rock and grunge into a uniquely intimate acoustic performance. They possess a rare talent for creating a relaxed, almost serene atmosphere while simultaneously delivering a huge surge of energy that captivates the audience. Willow’s stage presence is a testament to their skill, proving that true power lies not in volume, but in the ability to connect and command attention with every note.
