#1 Mia Priest

She plays guitar and provides vocals for her bands, including **ABSENCE OF THE SACRED**, **BLOOD DIVISION**, **NIGHTMARE A.D.**, and **RADIOACTIVE DEATHMONKEY**.

Her music blends Melancholic-folk with Grunge and Latin-jazz influences, and does so with a Punk spirit!

Beyond performing, she organizes shows under **GET IN THE PENH** and co-organizes the **SLAM CITY ASIA** festival in Cambodia.

#2 Liam & Ariane
Liam has played sporadically in ill-fated garage bands since his teens, but his first real foray into live music was alongside Ariane and Mike McCann in Penh Pals, from late 2022 until earlier this year. They played stone-cold classics, as well as well-known covers, in an all-acoustic format at venues around the city.
His self-Penhed (ahem) output blends upbeat, whimsical tunes with occasional wistful turns, that find a new lease of life when Ariane sings them. "I'm happy to be performing together again, and thrilled to be able to contribute to her songs!"
As a teenage girl in Hamm, Germany, Ariane started singing in the local Irish Folk band and has not stopped singing in bands ever since, just switched genre now and then.
It took her many years to discover that songwriting is something she can actually do despite her quite rudimentary guitar skills.
"I am delighted and grateful that Liam, who is such a talented guitarist and songwriter, is going to play some of my songs with me and even trusts me with singing some of his at this edition of Originals Sessions."
#3 Lewis McTie
Scottish singer/songwriter, Lewis McTie, is the former co-frontman of Little Thieves, and former lead-guitarist of Japan Guitar Shop, founder of the acoustic trio Skin & String, guitarist and FX manufacturer of Absolute Zero, and 1/5 of WIND-UP MICE (best thing since sliced bread).
He will be performing solo for this acoustic performance, playing a mix of original songs composed over the past couple of years, including some newbies. He has become somewhat obsessed with FX pedals and his looper, adding layers of harmony and texture to the sound.
Drawing inspiration from indy/folk-rock with some motown flavours, his voice is dynamic; both considerately quiet, then raspy and bold. Lewis Mctie is bound to lure you in with a certain fond curiosity. His alternative-folk styling will be sure to relax and excite you all at once.
