Jarrod Dickenson
Storytelling is something of a Texas tradition. Tall hats and even taller tales are woven into the fabric of The Lone Star State, and singer-songwriter, Jarrod Dickenson can spin a yarn with the best of them. Hailing from Waco, now based in Nashville via Brooklyn, Dickenson spends most of his time on the road bringing his own particular brand of soulful Americana to a wide variety of music loving audiences around the globe. Jarrod's critically acclaimed album 'The Lonesome Traveler' and his subsequent EP 'Songs From Willow St' paved the way for him to tour the UK, Ireland and Europe extensively over the last several years. Breakout performances at Glastonbury and Larmer Tree Festival, along with recent tours supporting legendary artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Don McLean and The Waterboys have earned Jarrod a formidable and loyal fan base across the globe, including BBC radio hosts Dermot O'Leary, Cerys Matthews, Huey Morgan, Janice Long, Robert Elms and Alex Lester.

New album, 'Ready The Horses' out now on Decca Records.
His songs carry an independent spirit and grit... a hard-bitten, yet romantic eye that seems bred into Lone Star Songwriters" -Q Magazine
​"A smokey-toned Texan with a smooth line in Americana-Soul... already a big favourite at Radio 2" -Uncut Magazine




Sarah McCreedy is a Singer/Songwriter from Holywood, Co.Down. She draws influence from the sounds of Fleetwood Mac, John Meyer, Colbie Calliat, and the Cranberries, as well as American literature, which she currently studies her PhD in at University College Cork.
Her voice and songs seem to come from the same source as classic female artists like Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crowe.
 She has played a number of venues and festivals, including the Empire Music Hall Belfast and the Dalriada Festival
