My Girl River and Serious Child
Kris Wilkinson Hughes aka My Girl the River is a Louisiana native who is now based in the UK after a decade of songwriting in Nashville. She has recently released her third album, Songs About Space, to strong critical acclaim.

As a performer, she is funny, warm and fearless with a sackful of hook laden Americana/roots songs and a voice of sweet sugared espresso. You might find yourself singing along or shedding a tear on your journey. Love, loss, Louisiana and Hot Chicken are just some of the stops along the way. My Girl The River have performed at the Isle of Wight festival and toured with folk legend Suzanne Vega.

I am about to utter the most fearsome words in folk, says Alan Young, aka Serious Child. This is a song about my grandmother ... its a singalong - Arts Republic

Roots musician Serious Child hails from an old beech wood in West Sussex, and draws from a wide range of acoustic influences from folk to pop to bossa nova. His pin sharp lyrics explore the world around us with a poets ear for emotion and a comedians eye for everyday detail. His fourth album, What Lies Beneath, is due to be released in Summer 2025.
