Jaimee Harris

22 Nov 2026 - 22 Nov 2026

Jaimee Harris's sophomore effort Boomerang Town marks a bold step forward for this country-folk-leaning singer-songwriter. It is an arresting, ambitious song-cycle that explores the generational arc of family, the stranglehold of addiction, and the fragile ties that bind us together as Americans. Harris began cultivating Boomerang Town in 2016, a time of great loss for many in the Americana community, with the songwriter losing several musicians close to her. A shift in the nation's political landscape had ushered in a new level of cultural polarization and for someone who grew up in a small town outside of Waco, Texas, Harris believed the values instilled by her parents were not entirely in line with how many were viewing, and vilifying, Christians. As a person in recovery, Harris has had to re-evaluate her own connection to faith and find strength in a higher power. It was from the intersection of these social, personal, and political currents that the album was born. While themes of addiction and grief permeate sections of the record, it echoes hope in the face of the darkness. Out February 17th, Boomerang Town understands that love and grief are two sides of the same coin.

Mirabilia Mundi was released in 2025 on Junkyard Songs and is the current album from Songdog. Over the course of the record's ten songs Lyndon continues his exploration of favourite themes: time passing and the struggle to make sense of a disappearing world; a foreboding of things ending and a looking back at long-lost glory days. There are nods to the earliest Songdog albums woven throughout for those who know them. There's a new producer, too, Al Steele (also known as guitarist with The Korgis). Previous albums include 2022's Of Gods And Men (which came out under Lyndon's own name), A Happy Ending, Joy Street, 'Last Orders at Harry's Bar, A Life Eroding, A Wretched Sinner's Song, The Time Of Summer Lightning, Haiku and The Way Of The World and were released to great reviews from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, The Mirror, Maverick, RnR and Americana UK amongst others.

What theyve said about the music: Ten songs, ten peerless evocations of place, people and time passing, where every word is exactly right and every line conjures up an unforgettable image or memory.. This will be the album of the year. 5 RnR (Jeremy Searle) A gifted, fearless songwriter 'sculpting heart's-done-time melancholy, reverie, black comedy and poetry into extraordinary shapes. 4 Mojo (James McNair) These are elegies for art and bad behaviour that felt immortally good, an old idea of bohemia defiantly hanging on. 8/10 Uncut (Nick Hasted There lingers a feeling that Mr Morgans is a little bit star crossed. It is a wonderful world and Morgans has travelled through it possessing a big talent. Americana UK (Andy Davidson) Mortality, loss and failed dreams loom large, through Morgans's deeply poetic words and the simple but intoxicating melodies. Fatea (Mike Davies) Broken-hearted canvases filled with elusive, poetic narratives. Arts Desk (Thomas Green)

Terra Spencer

19 Apr 2027 - 19 Apr 2027

Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, hairy dogs, questionable tattoos...all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer ~ and the songs are good ones, judging from the accolades her four albums have received, and from the calibre of her collaborators, which include Dave Gunning, and Matt Andersen, and David Francey who welcomed Terra as a co-writer and performer on his JUNO-winning album ‘The Breath Between’. Cinematic storytelling is a hallmark of many great Canadian folk songwriters, but in Terra’s case, it is charged with the wood-paneled ’70s warmth of Elton John, Karen Carpenter, and Jackson Browne. As a fun-loving and fearless solo performer, Terra has played some of Canada’s most renowned festival stages, including Mariposa, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, and Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, where her Maritime waltz “Lunenburg Moon” has become an unofficial anthem. Think Steve Poltz and Carole King’s East Coast cousin. Although her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician, it’s her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500.

Pete is a storyteller in his songs, and writes as a mature man who has lived and suffered and loved. The soulfulness that Pete brings to everything that he does is inspiring. He has the passion of a young writer, and the philosophical overview of a wise man." CHARLIE & CRAIG REID (THE PROCLAIMERS) For me, it's all about recognising in another brother or sister that same appreciation that another side to this life exists. We can smell each other out.

Jenny Sturgeon & M G Boulter

16 Sept 2026 - 16 Sept 2026

Jenny Sturgeon and M G Boulter have been pen pals since 2021, maintaining the ebb and flow of a musical conversation between their respective homes on Shetland and Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Both established songwriters in their own right they cemented their collaboration through the Shetland Songwriting Festival, where they were both tutors in 2022, as well as sharing mutual musical friends and becoming label mates on the indie folk label, Hudson Records. Those catch-ups, held online across months and years, led to the quiet creation of a collection of songs which will be released in 2026. The songs reflect the topics that naturally came up in their conversations, from meditations on travel ('Holding Patterns') and family ('Jason') to idle talk about trips taken and wonders seen ('Flint Knapped'). In between touring, recording and their daily lives, the songs were pieced together from melodies rushed onto voice memos or fragments of lyrics emailed to each other for revision and tinkering. The songs are the culmination of all this work in the moments between the busyness, when two songwriters had time to sit and see what they could make of the world.

Polly Paulusma & Dan Whitehouse

18 Oct 2026 - 18 Oct 2026

Expect an intimate, deeply atmospheric evening - songs, stories, spoken word and moments of stillness with two of the UK's most distinctive and innovative songwriterperformers. Across the evening, Dan Whitehouse and Polly Paulusma create a shared musical space where song and spoken word blur, and where two distinct voices meet in compelling dialogue. Moving between solo moments and subtle interplay, the set flows from sparse piano and guitar-led songs into more expansive textures, with each artist responding to the other's work in real time. Dan Whitehouse's work has been described as "Intriguing" and "Gorgeous" ★★★★ (The Guardian), and "Unflinching... haunting" (Clash Magazine), marking him out as a songwriter of rare emotional clarity. His most recent material, Only Love, shaped between England and Japan, explores presence, distance and fatherhood with striking honesty and his back catalogue has been celebrated by Folk On Foot and BBC Radio 6 for Dan's insight into social history and the human condition. Since her debut Scissors In My Pocket on One Little Independent Records, Polly Paulusma has built a critically acclaimed body of work spanning songwriting, production and academic research, and has toured internationally including supporting Bob Dylan and Coldplay. Her work has been widely praised, with The Guardian noting "a voice capable of some unexpected twists" and Rolling Stone describing her debut as "an enchanting... intelligent folk pop". Her recent album Wildfires brings her evolving fusion of spoken word and song to full expression. An evening shaped by process as much as performance. Both artists draw from the discipline known as 'morning pages' writing before the day begins, before the critical voice takes hold.

Dean's most recent album Spirit Ridge was recorded in Italy (the land of his lion tamer ancestor) with renowned producer Don Antonio. Following directly on from his highly acclaimed collaborations with Calexico, the songs on Spirit Ridge are both monumental and deeply personal, rooted in a half imagined hinterland that somehow connects the lush Italian hills, the US desert states and post industrial Scotland. the pulse of all our lives Irvine Welsh One of my favourite artists Bob Harris (BBC) Owens sings with a dark majesty that matches the gigantic emotional pull of his songs ★★★★ Mojo more intoxicating than the most treacherous of mezcals ★★★★ Rolling Stone

Time Out wrote: McNiff's quiet, intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world an almost timeless place, through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues. Long admired as one of the UK's most distinctive songwriters and guitarists, McNiff has built a devoted following through exceptional musicianship and the understated depth of his songs. His album Dust of Yesterday (2022) was named Album of the Week in The Times, and in 2024 he was voted Male Artist of the Year by Fatea. UK's premier fingerstyle guitarist.

Mando maestro Andrew Collins finds himself through no actual fault of his own at the epicentre of Canada's burgeoning acoustic/roots music scene. He didnt invent it but he's certainly been a contributor, having co-founded seriously noteworthy Canadian bands like the Creaking Tree String Quartet, the Foggy Hogtown Boys and, more recently, his namesake Trio. That's not to mention the fact that this prolific, robust performer comfortable on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello composes, produces, arranges, writes and teaches across multiple genres, including a popular collision of folk, jazz, bluegrass, celtic, and classical. As Collins gathers up innumerable JUNO nominations (5) and Canadian Folk Music Awards (7) won by his various ensembles, he's zeroing in on the work he does with Trio-mates: fellow string guru Adam Shier, whose versatility shines through on guitar, mandolin, and vocals, and in-the-pocket James McEleney holding it down on the bass, mandocello and vocals.

Bending and blending genres, these musical shape shifters land somewhere between the re-imagined worlds of Béla Fleck and Newgrass invader, David Grisman.

MATILDA FINN FRANCES: Matilda Finn Frances is an artist whose sound resonates with the gentle introspection of a life lived on the periphery, observing and reflecting on the world around her. Arriving on the South West's music scene at the end of last year, her beguiling voice and haunting melodies have been doing all the talking, leaving audiences (and rumour has it, record labels) spellbound. Early support from Steve Lamaq and Jo Whiley will no doubt make Matilda one to watch for the near future.
