IV & The Strange Band (USA) @ 15u30

(Country/HonkyTonk)

The lesson wasn't always so clear. As the great-grandson of Hank Williams Sr., grandson of Hank Williams Jr., and only son of Hank 3, Coleman spent years waging an internal battle with the expectations thrust upon him by his own lineage. He represented the fourth generation of country music's most legendary family — hence his nickname, "IV" — and the pressure to launch his own career was enormous. Although Coleman would eventually make his mark with Southern Circus — the genre-bending debut from his band, IV and the Strange Band, combining southern storytelling and country textures with 100-watt guitar amps and DIY attitude — he needed to break free first and discover his own musical approach along the way. "Before I even knew who I was, people were already expecting things of me," he says. "It felt like there was zero freedom of expression for someone with the last name 'Williams.' Singing about a bloodline didn't appeal to me, though. I wasn't interested in fitting into a shadow that already existed. What did appeal to me was the underground scene in Nashville." Coleman became a fierce champion of Nashville's house-show circuit as a teenager, drawn in by the scene's supportive spirit and DIY ethics. This was a community that valued principles over pedigrees. A community that offered artists of all stripes a place to express themselves. From punk shows to heavy metal gigs to electronic experiments, Coleman loved it all… and for the first time in his life, he felt like he belonged somewhere.

Sarah Shook & The Disarmers (USA) @ 21u30

(Country/Punk)

Sarah Shook & The Disarmers is an American country band led by singer-songwriter Sarah Shook. The band started as a recording project, with Eric Peterson on guitar, and John Howie Jr. (Two Dollar Pistols, John Howie Jr. & the Rosewood Bluff) on drums, Jason Hendrick on bass fiddle, and Phil Sullivan on lap steel.

Shook's original songs take on the usual country spin on poor relationships, bad decisions, and excessive alcohol consumption for damn good reasons. Songs with self-explanatory self-deprecation, "Fuck Up", tangled in with a portrayal of a doomed relationship dripping with sarcasm,"The Nail", are bastioned by the subtleties of a bar patron considering taking a chance on a stranger in title track, "Sidelong".

Bob Wayne & The Outlaw Carnies (USA) @ 15u30

(Outlaw Country)

So happy to get my brother from another mother coming over again. 

It all started with Bob on our live bands journey and festivals, 14 years ago meanwhile, dang. Below you can find video where im the main character in the video. Was so much fun making this. ENJOY and see you on EasterMonday

Bob Wayne makes raw, deep, ‘pure country’ music that walks the line betweencomedy and dark truths, never trying to be anything he’s not and consequentlyensuring everything he does is genuine, with a total lack of affectation. With hisnatural vocal style often having common links to artists such as the late greatJohnny Cash and his songwriting style compared to Kris Kristofferson Bob brings aneo-Cash vibe that is much needed in todays resurgence of authentic countrymusic.In 2023 Bob continues to carry the torch. With his newest album ‘13 more TruckinSongs’ containing songs like ‘Space Trucker’, ‘Truck Driving Woman’, and ‘Truckingfor Jesus’ this record is sure to deliver a plethora of new trucker classics in his neo-country authentic way

Sunday 4 May 2025: 

Belly Hole Freak (CAN) @ 15u30

(Raw & Dirty Blues)

The background of Belly Hole Freak sinks his roots in the most rural, raw and dirty blues. An instinctive and visceral sound enriched by different colours, rhythms and shades of boogie tones, rhythm'n'blues, country, bluegrass, mixed with a more Hard Rock Blues sound, playing live shows with much energy and clear Rock'n'Roll attitude . Among the artists of reference there are Howlin Wolf, Captain Beefheart, Robert Jhonson, Tom Waits and bands like Cream, Allman Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cactus, The Bluesbreakers to name a few. Energy, introspective research, unconscious and spirituality, are among the main sources of inspiration, a channel of surreal communication, a free language, sometimes using  invented words but with such a concrete meaning given by a very expressive interpretation. This is for Belly Hole Freak, the way to  feel and live the BLUES, the way to break the mould, in the full freedom, to give voice to the soul. BHF is Massimiliano “Belly” on guitar, voice, handmade footboard stomp, Hi Hat, cymbals, Cowbell tamburine, Kazoo, anklets. All instruments are played simultaneously in his one man shows.

Zachary Lucky (CAN) @ 15u30

(Folk/Americana/Country)

Zachary Lucky is a Canadian songwriter, folk and Country artist who started his career in Saskatoon and now resides in Orillia, Ontario. He is the grandson of Canadian country music legend Smilin' Johnnie Lucky. Prior to starting his solo career in 2009, Lucky was a member of pop bands Tuxedo Mask and We Were Lovers. He has made a name for himself as one of the hardest working singer-songwriters to come out of Saskatchewan in recent years - often booking long, and potentially gruelling tours. Born and raised in Saskatoon, Lucky finds himself in the company of other Saskatchewan artists like Colter Wall, Deep Dark Woods, and Kacy & Clayton. Why has this rugged Canadian province produced such great roots music? Lucky thinks some of it must come down to the prairie landscape and its people. "There's something about the Canadian Midwestern people," he says in explanation. "There's a strong work ethic, and a kindness to them that you don't find anywhere else. There's also something about being in the middle of nowhere, beneath that vast prairie sky, watching it come alive with colour as the sun dips below the horizon."

Poor Man's Revenge (AT) @ 21u30

(Anti-Gospel/Murder-Folk)

Poor Man's Revenge brings the darkness of human existence and unrestrained passion to the stages of the city. Lyrically, the band deals with themes that our society likes to overlook - stories of suicide, murder and poverty teach us how to celebrate life despite all the pain. Banjo, guitar, upright bass and washboard mixed with melodic and raucous vocals set traditional bridges on fire to build a better future. Poor Man's Revenge blends punk, country and folk roots into a unique sound that sticks out like a switchblade.

Tim Holehouse (UK) @ 21u30

(Singer-Songwriter/Americana/Blues)

Global touring musician, Tim Holehouse brings experimental acoustic sounds. For the past 16 years, Tim has been one of the most hard working in the industry, travelling the globe, touring throughout the UK, US, Canada Europe, and beyond. His touring adventures have brought influences to his sound today. Breaking the 250-300 gig mark most years, Tim leads somewhat of a nomadic existence, but for all intents and purposes, treats London as his home when not out playing his trade to international and domestic audiences. Tim is equally prolific with his recording as he is with his travels, when not gigging his way round the world, he has found the time to release 20 albums and countless split releases, often with artists he tours with.

Tim's own sound is hugely varied, he’s often able to adapt to performing sets depending on the atmosphere of a show. He has been known to release folk, blues, experimental music and covers many other genres. Tim's songs come from a place of honesty and a keen ear for anything creative regardless of genre. His own philosophy is that, 'if music is good, it's just good, right?' To get a feel for Tim's wide and varied talent, be sure to check out his eclectic sounds and as Tim often quotes from one of his favourite films, 'Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure': 'Be excellent to each other.”

Sunday 5 October 2025: 

Whiskeydick (USA) @ 15u30

(Hillbilly/Country/Metal)

The Fort Worth duo carry on the Texas traditions of super-powered guitar slinging and clever songwriting that make lone star music a worldwide curiosity, except Reverend Johnson will remind you more of Dimebag Darrell than Billy Gibbons and Fritz remains more lyrically akin to David Allen Coe than Robert Earl Keen.

WhiskeyDick's live show is a true spectacle: two giant, tattooed, mean-looking dudes saunter on stage and sit down on 2 chairs, then pick up acoustic guitars and proceed to amaze everyone by generating more power than a full band by means of Fritz's deep, rich vocals, Johnson's unapproachable acoustic guitar heroics, and their triumphant songwriting.

Ward Hayden & The Outliers (USA) @ 15u30

(Country/HonkyTonk/Americana)

Boston is one of America’s great music towns. But among the various styles the city is known for that have launched many musical acts to success and stardom, country music wasn’t a truly thriving genre there, that’s until singer, songwriter and guitarist Ward Hayden and his band The Outliers (formerly known as Girls Guns & Glory) sang and played their distinctivec take on C&W with a rock’n’roll kick to the top of the Boston scene and a thriving, critically-acclaimed and highly-awarded career across America and in Europe. Now, with their ninth LP, South Shore, Ward Hayden & The Outliers bring their “amber-soaked melodies, tight musicianship, and casual elegance” (Boston Globe) all back home, literally and spiritually. Ward notes that the release is “the closest thing I’ve ever done to a concept album. I wanted to just recount my experience of growing up in a small town and what it meant and what it took to get out and leave that behind to try and pursue something, chase after something that was and is a dream. I used to joke that my greatest achievement was I got out of here because it was no easy feat. My family had moved 12 times by the time I was 12 years old, so once there was a place I could really call home and I’d developed friends and connections, it was tough to leave that behind. But, Scituate, Massachusetts isn’t Las Vegas, if you want to get your music to a wider audience you have to get out in the world and bring it to
them.”
