A genre busting bunch of tunes, songs and performers: award winning singer songwriters, folk, rootsy blues rock, insurgent country, funky Afrobeats, americana and a hint of mariachi.

Dive into a world of music and stories with a diverse group of performers, with a wide range of ages and experience, including two female fronted bands. Be transported for a short while into a world of Scottish folk, a backstreet rock joint with a hint of Memphis, a west African Friday night party, or a New Mexico cantina with a whiff of tequila and desert dust.
