ASHLEY CAMPBELL | THE GOODNIGHT NASHVILLE TOUR
FRIDAY 06 MARCH 2026 | DOORS 18:45 | Show Times TBAAbout Ashley…
Ashley Campbell, daughter of country legend Glen Campbell began her career playing banjo and keyboard in her father's band on several world tours and has found success as a solo artist in the country and Americana music scene; most notably with her debut single "Remembering" which she wrote for her father and is featured on the Grammy award winning and Oscar nominated album for the documentary Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me. Her original music has taken her all over the world, from China to Japan, from playing The Royal Albert Hall in London with Ben Folds as well as with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, to opening for Kris Kristofferson as well as playing at Carnegie Hall with songwriting legend Jimmy Webb. Ashley released her first album, The Lonely One, in 2018 which hit the Top Ten of the UK Country Chart upon release.
Ashley’s sophomore album, Something Lovely (produced by friend and co-writer of “Remembering” Kai Welch) was released October 9, 2020, featuring a duet with Vince Gill on “If I Wasn’t”. There is depth as well as undeniable style; a mature and confident set from a musician who has earned her place in the spotlight.
In 2022, Ashley teamed up with virtuoso guitarist Thor Jensen as the duo Campbell Jensen and together released their debut album Turtle Cottage in late 2023. The duo earned a nomination for “best live act” at the 2024 UK Americana Awards as well as Ashley garnering another nomination for “UK Instrumentalist of the Year”. Ashley has also released four videos with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox and has done multiple UK/EU tours with them since the spring of 2024.
Ashley’s third studio album Goodnight Nashville was released on June 27, 2025. Showcasing her signature clear-as-a-bell vocals, lush string arrangements and a mesmerising banjo instrumental featuring Grammy award-winning artist Carl Jackson; Goodnight Nashville is a listening experience not to be missed. Her lyrics seem to have a “lived in” quality with a striking sense of self-awareness and acceptance. The first single “I See You”, penned by Ashley & released in December 2024, shines a light on being present and constant for the people we care deeply for. “I’m right here my love. I see you.” A true powerhouse of a songwriter, listeners can expect to see Ashley float like a butterfly and sting like a bee with beautiful ballads about finding real love through finding yourself in “I Found You” right alongside zingers like “POS”, a witty mariachi-inspired tune where she calls out the man who cheated on her friend. Ashley has been living in London since 2023 and continues to make her mark in the Country and Americana scene across the UK and Europe. Don’t miss her on “The Goodnight Nashville Tour” starting in the UK and Ireland this November and going on into 2026.

RACHEL HILL
GUEST LIST FULL Doors 18:45 | Live 19:15 | Finish 10:45
With her authentic and vulnerable lyricism Rachel’s songs come alive to
create entrancing performances, especially with her mastery of live vocal
looping. The clarity of tone within Rachel’s higher register, gleaned from
years of training as a classical soprano, allow her melodies to dance
around effortlessly in a way which has been repeatedly likened to
birdsong. Authentic to her roots in choral and a cappella singing, Rachel’s
carefully composed harmonic soundscapes set the backdrop for her
soaring vocals; a bed upon which her lyrics build to captivate the listener.
The overall result is a unique style that evokes the timeless vocals of
artists such as Joni Mitchell and modern voices in current indie folk
playlists like Dodie and Lizzie McAlpine.'Rachel is a hugely talented performer. She delivers
quality original compositions with vocal clarity and
instrumental richness. All wrapped up in an engaging,
warm stage personality.'
(Ray Jones, CEO of Talentbanq)'Rachel is a very talented singer songwriter. She shows a great maturity in her
style and has an enchanting engaging voice. I’ve no doubt she will go on to great
things.'

SNIFF 'N' THE TEARS

ICONIC BAND SNIFF 'N' THE TEARS | ACOUSTIC SHOW | SATURDAY 07 MARCH 2026
SNIFF ‘N’ THE TEARS Acoustic is the duo project of Sniff ‘n’ the Tears singer and songwriter Paul Roberts and original ‘Sniff’ guitarist Les Davidson.
The duo perform a stripped back acoustic set exploring songs from the band’s 1979 worldwide hit Driver’s Seat, to the duo’s acoustic album ‘Jump’ released in 2020. Poetic lyrics contrast day to day life and love with darker observations on the state of the world, and are interwoven with diverse and intricate guitar melodies.
The acoustic gigs have opened up a new way to present the songs and connect to an audience, with Roberts describing the project as ‘a great way to really explore the songs in the way of the troubadours, off the cuff and from the heart, with less concern for the arrangement.’
Since launching the acoustic project in 2018, Sniff’n’the Tears Acoustic have performed a number of UK shows, including the Acoustic stage at Glastonbury Festival (2023) and performed in the Netherlands.

THE GRAHAMS full band show | VICCI KATS
Doors 18:45 | Live 19:15 | Finish 10:45
THE GRAHAMS | SATURDAY 28 MARCH 2026
https://youtu.be/NU4oaHsxVhU?si=R7_BfbzdNOdu2cXP
The Grahams
The Bridge
2025 BioAlyssa and Doug Graham have spent most of their 37 years together making music. The New
Jersey natives, who met in high school, traveled the world early on in a quasi-jazz band. One of
the bands they frequently performed with in the jazz touring circuit included members of the
GRAMMY-nominated Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band. While this was an incredible
experience, the pair wanted to return home to their folk roots.
Once stateside, during a walk in New York’s Central Park, the couple brainstormed a 10-year
project of three concept albums. They soon embraced their love of Americana music, rooted in
childhood favorites like the Grateful Dead, The Band, and Neil Young, and traveled “the rivers,
the rails, and the roads,” Doug says. The trilogy had The Grahams writing songs (along with
childhood bestie Bryan McCann) about the people they met along the way for their 2013 debut
Riverman’s Daughter, which saw the pair spend a year on a Mississippi riverboat; 2015
sophomore album Glory Bound, where they toured the country by rail; and the final installment,
Kids Like Us (2020), in which they trekked Route 66 via the roads on motorcycle.
The songwriters continue to push themselves creatively on their new record, The Bridge. For the
first time since the inception of The Grahams in 2013, Alyssa and Doug give listeners an honest
glimpse into their personal lives within their music. The Bridge, the duo’s fourth studio album,
has the couple embrace the collaborative Nashville co-write and, as a result, leave a bit of
themselves in each of the project’s 11 tracks. Named after the George Washington Bridge that
frequently took the duo from the Garden State to New York City during their childhood and
formative teen years, The Bridge is inspired by their everyday lives.
“We were always trying to write these voyeuristic stories about people we met on the road,
places we went, and different cultures,” Alyssa says. “This time, we tried something new and had
an amazing experience with these songwriters, digging into who we were as children, who we’ve
become, what our real life is about. It was scary and challenging.”
The Grahams wrote much of The Bridge with GRAMMY-nominated producer Dex Green,
singer-songwriter Kate York, and GRAMMY-nominated songwriter Aaron Lee Tasjan. The pair
credits Kate for pulling “the real stuff” out. “This record is hyper personal, and we went places
with the lyrics that we would never go ourselves,” Doug says.The lead single, “Found It In Us,” was the first song The Grahams penned with the team. The
ethereal ballad about searching for one’s place in the world finds the couple reflecting on their
life as touring musicians. While Doug had wanted to stop traveling for years, Alyssa describes
herself as being “go, go, go.”
“I have always been searching for something, though I’ve never been sure what it is,” she says.
“We were always chasing something. The song is about the recognition and realization that we
don’t have to chase the dream. This is the dream: us. This childhood love affair we’ve had for
over 37 years, and now this amazing, six-year-old daughter.”
We could be looking forever
For something we already have
And maybe we travel too much
We already found it in us
Doug says they didn’t know how to create the idea in song form, but Kate did. The pair credits
York for helping them write about their lives honestly and vulnerably. While The Grahams say
“Found It In Us” is the core of who they are, other songs, like the deeply personal “The One
Who Remembers,” bare Doug and Alyssa’s soul.
“The One Who Remembers” is a heartbreaking tale of a loved one with Alzheimer’s. Alyssa
cries whenever she hears the piano ballad, and did so while writing with Doug, Kate, Dex, and
Aaron Lee. My father is an addict/ My husband kind of is too/ My mother can’t remember my
name, she sings in the opening verse.
“We were writing that song stream of consciousness,” Doug says. “That song is as bleeding-heart
honest as possible that we could write.”
Other songs, like “Worst Parts of Me” and “Little Fires,” highlight The Grahams’ playful side
and ability not to take themselves too seriously. While “Little Fires” shares marriage advice from
Doug (“you both have to be able to win fights”), the opening track “Worst Parts of Me” recalls
Carole King’s melodic movement.
Raised on Carole King, Joan Baez, and Carly Simon, Alyssa says King’s Tapestry album was a
mainstay in her childhood home. “I know every single word to every single song, and I always
felt a connection to her,” Alyssa says of King’s seminal album. It was only natural to nod to King
within the song’s melody.“The line that started that song is funny: Honestly, I know how I can be. The way I sing a little off
key when I'm drinking,” Alyssa says, reciting the track’s lyrics. “That’s a real thing. It started as a
silly infraction that is endearing to Doug. Then we were like, ‘There are a lot of those. What are
the worst parts that we still love about each other after all these years?’ That’s a fun song and a
cool throwback to the Carole King era.”
While the intriguing “Georgette” pays homage to their daughter with haunting instrumentals, The
Grahams credit their studio band for pushing them and making them better musicians. The band
features an A-list of studio and touring musicians including drummer Matt Chamberlain (Fiona
Apple, Bob Dylan), bassist Sebastian Steinberg (Fiona Apple, Soul Coughing), keyboardist Ray
Jacildo (The Black Keys), pianist Rob Berger (Iron & Wine), and synths mastermind Patrick
Warren (Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann).
This musicianship is best seen on the powerful closing track, “Only New York.” A song that pays
homage to a city that The Grahams call part of their heartbeat and one of the main characters in
their life, “Only New York” serves as a bookend to the deeply personal project.
“This record sets the tone for us as evolved songwriters who have lots more to say,” Alyssa says.
“We would love people to delve into these personal stories.”
The Bridge was recorded at 3Sirens, The Grahams’ East Nashville studio and record label.
Opened in September 2021, the space was conceived to inspire fellow creatives and dreamers in
a communal environment.
“We want people to come and have the setting to create, whether it’s writing sessions, recording
sessions, or videos,” Alyssa says. “Part of what we wanted to do with 3Sirens, and why we
started doing compilations for charity, is because we wanted to give back to humanity as well as
make music.”
The Grahams also give back through their DAG Foundation, which provides financial assistance
to one musician, writer, and fine artist annually. “It’s another way for us to give back to the
artistic community,” she adds. “We’ve been trying to help other artists avoid some of the pitfalls
we went through, and give them access to places to write, places to collaborate, build
community, and fund it.”
With nearly 40 years of creativity, The Grahams continue to expand their artistic journey while
inspiring others. Throughout the process, Alyssa and Doug Graham leave the world better than
they found it.

JULIET LLOYD Band Show (four piece)
Doors 18:45 | Live 19:15 | Finish 10:45
Juliet Lloyd is an acclaimed singer/songwriter based in the DC region who has garnered comparisons to Brandi Carlile, Aimee Mann, and Tori Amos for her signature blend of soulful, roots-infused folk/pop. Across her 20-year career as a writer and artist, Juliet has released four studio albums, earning placements on television shows on MTV and VH1 and airplay on more than 175 radio stations across the country. Her 2024 full-length album Carnival has been hailed by reviewers for its "evocative storytelling and raw honesty" and "powerfully emotive performance from start to finish." It features nine songs that "movingly and poetically tell of broken hearts and loneliness yet finds brightness in its melodies and in the luster of Lloyd's voice." Juliet's songwriting and performance chops have earned her top honors in the 2022 Bernard/Ebb Songwriting Awards and Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, four “Wammie” finalist nods, and multiple prestigious national songwriter awards across the past several years. Both solo and with her band, Juliet has performed 150+ shows a year since 2020, including festivals and listening rooms across the US and UK.
BIO
There’s an unmistakable urgency you can feel when a song is written and performed from a place of complete honesty. That feeling permeates singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd’s new album, Carnival.
“I’ve always been envious of writers who say they write songs because they have to, because they had these things they just had to get out of themselves,” Juliet says. “I had never really felt that way until this album. I’ve become someone who writes because they have to.”
The album is Juliet’s first full-length effort since 2007. Shortly after releasing her sophomore album that year, she walked away from music completely for more than 10 years, feeling burned out and unhappy with her career progression like so many other independent artists. After going through a divorce in 2019 and in the midst of a global pandemic, she found herself pulled back toward the siren call of songwriting and again making the leap to pursue it full time. Carnival is in many ways the culmination of those decisions, and the reintroduction of an artist who now has the wisdom of experience.
“These songs have helped me make sense of emotions and experiences that have happened both recently and those that I’ve buried for 20+ years, to confront truths about myself and about others that I’ve been afraid or unwilling to say out loud,” Juliet says. “I’ve never been a confrontational person. But this is definitely a confrontational album. And I love it.”
Recorded in an unhurried process over nearly 15 months and produced by Todd Wright (Lucy Woodward, Butch Walker, Toby Lightman), Carnival’s nine songs are a study in contrasts. Light and dark, devastating and self-deprecating, apologetic and angry, conversational and conceptual. They are genre-fluid, weaving elements of pop, folk, soul, and rock to create a vibrant and often unexpected platform for Juliet’s unflinching storytelling.
“When you give all your grace away to those who don't deserve it, there's no saving grace for yourself,” Lloyd sings on the album’s leadoff single, “Pretty.” It’s a line that takes aim in equal parts at both narrator and subject, a common device throughout Carnival’s lyrics.
The central theme of Carnival and that of its title track is not being too precious about any one experience or decision. Take them for what they are, live in the moment, and move on when they’re done. It acknowledges also that memory can be subjective, and ambiguous—was an experience ultimately a good thing or a bad thing? And whose memory can you rely on to determine the answer to that question?
These questions are on full display in one of the album’s standout tracks, “Sorry Now,” a raw and immediate interrogation of divorce. “Why does it feel like the choices of who gets the knife set, the mattress, the old picture frames are harder than choosing to leave in the first place?” Juliet sings over a sparse keyboard accompaniment before the track kicks in with a lush, R&B-inflected production.
“I had a really visceral memory of sorting through our shared stuff when I moved out, boring things like kitchen utensils and towels, and what felt so mechanical at the time now feels colored with sadness,” Juliet says. “I wanted to pose questions in the lyrics, to myself and to whoever needs to hear them, because I still don’t have everything figured out, and that’s okay.”
Throughout much of Carnival, Juliet puts these themes in the context of specific personal relationships—sometimes painful to recall. The aforementioned “Pretty” deals with the lingering shame and guilt of an abusive relationship from 25 years ago, and serves as a cautionary anthem for women who similarly find themselves wondering how they could have let themselves be in that situation. Interestingly, a later track, “Call Your Wife,” is a continuation of that story.
“Shortly after I released ‘Pretty’ this spring, I got a text message in the middle of the night from a number I didn’t recognize,” Juliet says. “The sender apparently didn’t think I was being fair to the guy in my song.” Her response is a defiant, slightly unhinged carnival pastiche—another standout song on the album, co-written with Wright—that begins as an innocent-sounding waltz with sweetly threatening lyrics (“you say I’m being unfair, there’s cracks in your ego too deep to repair”) and builds to a satisfying, vengeful final chorus.
Biting lyrics are also on display on the throwback, 70s soul-inspired “Search Your Soul,” which Juliet wrote about the same subject as her previous song “High Road,” a highlight from her 2022 EP by the same name. “In your funhouse mirror you see what you see / your history is doomed to always repeat / you send another woman into therapy / Did that make you happy?” Juliet taunts the real-life narcissist in question over a breezy, disco-string laden track.
Stylistically, Carnival draws on a range of influences from Laurel Canyon-era singer/songwriters, to Lilith Fair rockers, to confessional country/folk balladeers, to indie pop. Across her 20+ year career, she’s been admittedly stylistically non-monogamous. Her first full-length album, All Dressed Up, was released in 2005 and was heavily jazz-influenced, a label that she rejected at the time. “I am a piano player and a woman, so I was immediately compared to Norah Jones—and I bristled at that,” Juliet says. “Listening back now, I can totally see that it was true, and it of course wasn’t a bad thing.” Her follow-up release, Leave the Light On, came out two years later and featured a slick piano-pop production that led to five of its songs being placed on reality TV shows on MTV and VH1. Most recently, coming back after her 10-year break from writing and recording, Juliet released High Road, a collection of five Americana/soul-tinged songs produced by Jim Ebert (Meredith Brooks, Shai) that earned her widespread recognition and songwriting awards both in her home region of DC as well as nationally.
“Though I still primarily consider myself a piano player, I write and play more guitar now,” Juliet says. “That definitely influences the kinds of songs I write, because I’m so limited by the chords I can play right now. It’s forced me to be simple and to put more of an emphasis on lyrics than I may have in past projects.”
One of those songs, Carnival’s anthemic opener, “Wallflower,” draws directly on Juliet’s relatable experiences as an introvert in the music industry. In it, she reassures fellow introverts that it’s okay to “disappear in the spaces between, and hide all your brilliant color in cracks, they have to know where to look to be seen.” But like nearly every song on the album, it’s tinged with a bit of cynicism: “the dance ain’t as cool as it seems.” Another guitar-driven track, the tongue-in-cheek, upbeat album closer “Motorcycle & Tattoo Sleeve” is the closest Juliet says she’s come to writing a “three chords and the truth”-style song in her career. In it, she pokes fun at the unexpected hobbies we all take on when we’re in new relationships, while reassuring us “maybe we’re all just doing the best that we can do.”
Carnival doesn’t just deal with the complexities of ending relationships—it also deals with all the feelings that come with moving on. “When Love Comes Round Again” is a deceptively simple ballad with a traditional song structure borrowed from jazz and musical theatre, but the lyrics elegantly reveal the struggle that comes with giving yourself permission to celebrate finding love again. And “The Spring,” another co-write with Wright, paints a striking, darkly dreamy picture of what it feels like to not want to move on, even as everything else around you is.
Taken together, Carnival’s nine songs feature evocative storytelling that reveals a simple truth: when the carnival inevitably leaves town, you’re left with an empty parking lot. And how you remember it is a choice. As Juliet sings in the title track, “If only there was a way you could bottle up that feeling / and you’d drink it in / when the days are short and you long.”

PAUL CASEY & DANIEL MILLAR
GUEST LIST FULL | Doors 18:30 | Live 19:15 | Finish 10:45
PAUL CASEY & DAN MILLER | SATURDAY 30 MAY 2026
Paul Casey is perhaps Ireland’s best kept secret. And it’s a secret thirty years in the making.
Paul Casey was born at a moment in Northern Irish life that shaped him unmistakably. His father’s record collection were a huge influence. Paul’s blues sensibility led to an encounter with the legendary Chris Rea. The shy teenager blagged his way backstage to ask for advice from his guitar hero. Rea advised the young novice, who took everything on board. Three years later Casey gave Rea a demo tape. He was impressed, and invited Paul to London. Thus began years of recording and touring together, and a friendship that endures to this day.
Another strand to Paul’s musical DNA is an uncompromising commitment to no-nonsense studio equipment, along with an enduring pursuit of the new recording tech that matters. And then, there’s the visuals; he’s a cinema geek. Rented VHS tapes have fashioned his life, and his music. Paul is a videographer, a guitarist, a songwriter, producer, and singer. Check out his take on In The Day's Before Rock 'N' Roll below.

IMOGEN CLARK
GUEST LIST FULL | Doors 18:30 | Live 19:15 | Finish 10:45
“Imogen returns to her roots with Choking on Fuel—a new album built around her acoustic guitar… the record showcases the emotional intensity, vulnerability, and musical depth that define her gripping live shows, delivering a stripped-down, powerful sound that’s unmistakably her own.
With raw, personal storytelling, a powerhouse voice, and a fearless, all-in stage presence, Imogen has earned the admiration of both her peers and musical heroes.” – Glide Magazine
ARIA and Golden Guitar nominee Imogen Clark calls Nashville home, but earned her stripes as a high-schooler playing bars in her native Western Sydney. Touring with Shania Twain, Steve Poltz and The Tallest Man on Earth, collaborating with Colin Hay and Jim Lauderdale and many more, Imogen has earned the respect of her heroes and peers through her deeply personal storytelling, roof-raising voice and leave it all out on the field live energy. Her witty, melodic songwriting crosses generations and genres, with influences from Joni Mitchell to Jason Isbell, Led Zeppelin to Taylor Swift.
After a breakneck year in 2024 of non-stop touring, Imogen’s new album Choking on Fuel (which rose to #5 on the Australian ARIA Country Albums chart and scored nominations at the ARIA Awards and Golden Guitar Awards) sees her returning to her roots. Armed with an acoustic guitar, Imogen is rolling out a record that captures the intensity, vulnerability, musical dexterity and vocal power that characterizes her compelling live performances.
“I spent last year on the road around the world, playing headline shows but also touring with Robyn Hitchcock, Steve Poltz, BOWEN * YOUNG and Andrew Farriss”, Imogen explains. “So many people have messaged me or commented on my social media to say that they would love to have an album that captured the spirit of what I do live, and that’s what this is”.
The album puts Imogen’s rich, devastating vocals front and center, foregrounding her deft, cutting lyrics and affecting melodies. A mix of co-writes and purely self-penned songs, the record runs the emotional gamut from the wry, incendiary All Hard Feelings (with 70s style backing vocals from co-writers Sinead Burgess and Blake O’Connor, who also tears up a blistering slide guitar solo), a high-octane harmonica solo on The Art of Getting Through from the legendary Mickey Raphael, the sexy bluegrass raveup of Sebastian (where Imogen is backed by Aussie grassers Midnight Chicken) to the raw, powerful anthem The Last of Me (with My Morning Jacket’s Bo Koster on propulsive piano), the road not taken nightmare of Squinters (a co-write with Steve Poltz powered by Bryan Sutton’s nuanced acoustic guitar) to the delicate, timeless wisdom of If Your Heart Never Breaks (featuring gorgeous harmonies from co-writer Jim Lauderdale and a dexterous and beautiful guitar from the iconic Tommy Emmanuel).
An unexpected closing note comes with a radical reinterpretation of the classic Sheryl Crow / Jeff Trott anthem ‘If It Makes You Happy’, reimagined as a vulnerable duet with Imogen’s tourmate and Americana UK Live Act of the Year Kezia Gill. Aussie fans will expect to see it on the setlist when Imogen and Kezia head down under for a co-headline tour in October.
“I’ve gotten to know and write with Jeff Trott since I’ve been living in Nashville,” Imogen explains. “After hearing him explain how he began writing this song late one night on the piano, it sparked the idea of approaching the song from that point of view. Having Kez sing it with me added so much extra magic to this version of one of my all-time favorite songs”.
