Calvin Love is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose music lingers in the shadows of nostalgia and noir. With a signature croon and a sound that fuses psych-folk, cinematic longing, and romanticism, he’s built a world both vintage and strangely timeless. The press has called his work “a crestfallen soundtrack of near-escape... like Chris Isaak trapped in a David Lynch film.” An artist of quiet intensity and prolific output, Love has carved a singular space on the fringes of indie music - shaped by introspection, lyrical depth, and a restless DIY spirit. Influenced by the pulse of rock ’n’ roll and the bruised glamour of 1980s balladeers, he’s crafted a sonic universe entirely his own. Known for live shows that blur the line between concert and dream sequence, Love approaches each song like a method actor - dissolving the boundary between persona and performance with slow-burning precision. Whether standing alone with a 12-string guitar or fronting a seven-piece ensemble, his performances radiate a magnetic stillness: immersive, nuanced, and emotionally resonant. With multiple albums and international tours behind him, Calvin Love has spent the last decade quietly shaping one of the most distinct and haunting voices on the outer edges of indie music.

"I don't write sad songs, I write lonely songs," declares Slow Leaves in the liner notes to his 2025 album In Solitude, For Company. His assertion could serve as a thesis statement for a body of work with recurrent themes of love, loss, loneliness, memory, and time. Slow Leaves is the project of Winnipeg's Grant Davidson. Awarded Western Canadian Music Awards Songwriter of the Year, his folk and psych-rock inclinations though rooted in fingerpicking songwriter of the past, roam freely in today's post-genre landscape. On his newest release and sixth Slow Leaves album of new material, The Ruins of Things Unfinished, Davidson explores his thoughts on ambition and the long setting sun of a life dedicated to art and family. "I've somehow made a career of self-perceived failure," he writes. "I've often reflected on whether that mindset fulfills its own prophecy: quite possibly. But I think at heart, I'm not seeking greatness, at least not outside my own little world. Or maybe I've simply given up on misplaced ambitions. My ambition now is a life of greatness in small spaces, a private fame in close quarters, a life so intimate it need only whisper its declarations of love and victory." The Ruins of Things Unfinished came out in May 2026 on Birthday Cake Records and Make My Day in G/S/A/Benelux. Presented by Folklore Sessions This is an 18+ event

Just when Sean Solomon thought he was out, they pulled him back in. The songwriter had stepped away from the mic, making the difficult decision with his bandmates to put his Sub Pop-signed band Moaning on indefinite hiatus and recalibrate. He poured himself into animation — an obsession and dream job that quickly became a reality. He made music videos for Run The Jewels and Unknown Mortal Orchestra and CHAI and Odd Future. He was living a dream, but it was only part of the dream. He still heard chords when he went to bed, ached for the feeling that artists like Elliott Smith, The Microphones, and Neutral Milk Hotel gave him.

Exeter-based duo Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood dovetail beautifully on their debut album, For All Our Sins, a beguiling acoustic pop collection replete with lyrical sensibility on tracks like the first single, Smokescreen (“Living beyond the darkness others create for us, and growing into something positive”), The Circus (“When everyone wants something from you, who can you trust?”) and Mr Wilson (“The chemistry of a new relationship, unsure of where it is going, but knowing that you want more from it”). Already championed by Chris Evans – who declared himself “blown away” when he heard Sound of the Sirens for the first time – they’re certain to broaden a burgeoning fan base on the back of For All Our Sins. It’s a fan base built up not just over several sublime EP self-releases – but also through their live shows, which combine a natural facility for connecting with their audiences and unforgettable performances predicated on energy, warmth, humour and, above all, real conviction.

Two distinctive voices in contemporary British songwriting come together for an intimate evening of folk, Americana and atmospheric storytelling. Hampshire-based Lucy Kitchen combines the warmth of classic 1970s songwriting with songs shaped by nature, grief and transformation. Her acclaimed third album, In the Low Light, has established her as a quietly compelling voice in modern folk, with Clash describing her music as utterly beguiling. Nottinghamshire songwriter and visual artist E.R. Thorpe brings a darker, cinematic edge. Produced by Jim Baron of Crazy P/JIM, her debut album Human Love pairs unusual fingerpicked guitar with vivid, emotionally charged storytelling and has received strong support from BBC Radio 6 Music. Performing two separate but beautifully complementary sets, Lucy and Emma invite audiences into a close, absorbing listening-room experience where every lyric and detail can be heard. For fans of Beth Orton, This Is The Kit, Aldous Harding, PJ Harvey and timeless, beautifully crafted songwriting.

A painter, poet, songwriter and storyteller, music is just one facet of Toria Wooff's wildly creative imagination which metamorphoses in many forms.

Folklore Sessions Presents DEKKER + Support February 20th 2027 £15adv 18+ Dekker is the solo project of American songwriter Brookln Dekker, based in Nottingham, UK. After years of touring internationally with the indie folk duo Rue Royale, and later collaborating on the Lambert & Dekker project, he slowly built a quieter, more personal path under his own name. Since 2019, Dekker has released four albums, an EP and a growing catalogue of songs that have gathered over 250 million streams while finding homes in bedrooms, headphones, long walks and late night drives around the world. But the live show remains at the centre of it all. Over the last eighteen years Brookln has played more than 2000 concerts across Europe and beyond, developing a solo performance style that feels intimate, funny, melancholic and deeply human all at once. Alone on stage, armed with guitars and stories and a disarming honesty, Dekker's concerts often feel less like performances and more like rooms people briefly inhabit together. His songs sit somewhere between indie folk, slow burning pop and reflective songwriting, drawing influence from artists such as José González, Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, while maintaining a voice and atmosphere distinctly his own. Recent years have seen sold out tours across Europe, strong support from European radio and editorial playlists, and a growing audience drawn not only to the music itself but to the emotional openness and humanity within it. At its core, the Dekker project is less interested in spectacle than connection. Songs as companionship. Music as a way of understanding yourself a little more clearly while moving through the world.

His rich vocals and confident lyrical style are reflected in his storytelling, while his guitar work often echoes Nick Drake in approach. Organic instrumentation with a folk-rock influence reminiscent of classic Crosby, Stills & Nash and Jeff Buckley is evident.

Folklore Sessions Presents Samuel Nicholson \+ Support Friday 11th November £10adv The Folklore Rooms 18+ Samuel Nicholson is a cathartic songwriter, an impassioned singer, and a gifted guitarist. With his love of music set alight by listening to Motown records in the car with his mother, corrupted by hard rock records handed down by his father, and finally formed by his own forays into jazz, folk and experimental music of decades past. Nicholson's last album, Birthday Suit, came after years of searching and longing - serving as a dysfunctional self-portrait and a love letter in equal parts, dancing from electrifying guitar solos to naked vulnerability. Having spent the past two years locked away in the studio, Nicholson returns to the stage for three intimate headline shows, with the release of new music in sight.

Caleb Caudle's body of work is shaped from the ground up. His artistry has emerged through endurance and the steady momentum of a life in motion, carrying him from small stages in the North Carolina foothills he calls home, all the way to the Grand Ole Opry. Now, Caudle is entering a pivotal chapter - one of a profound culmination where life and art converge in powerful ways. The recent discovery that he and his wife are going to be first-time parents has added a new perspective, full of the responsibility and wonder that welcoming a child into the world brings.

Murphy Campbell is a ballad singer and old time banjo player with deep roots in Western North Carolina. Having just released her debut EP Murphy Campbell last year and her upcoming album Revenant set to be released this winter, she is a fast rising star within the traditional community. A contemporary clawhammer banjoist rooted in the influences of the Toe River valley, Murphy has developed a playing style that speaks to those familiar and unfamiliar with old time. With a bold but memorably sweet voice that demands the ear listens, Murphy has preserved countless ballads from her family tree. Murphy’s debut album Revenant is an act of preservation; over a dozen ballads from her ancestors recorded within a historic Mitchell county church under a mile from where her family settled hundreds of years ago. Performed with complete love and admiration for those who came before and complemented by her signature low tuned gut string banjo, it demonstrates that Murphy’s age of 19 is not the age of her soul. Murphy has played Scruggs Fest, FolkFest, MerleFest and has opened for the likes of Molly Tuttle and Chatham Rabbits. PLEASE NOTE: The ticket price includes a 50p venue levy.

Nashville-based folk singer/songwriter Mynolia blends melancholy instrumentation with lyrical surrealism, drawing melodic inspiration from traditional folk choirs and eastern flute music. Mynolia’s music is shaped by a life lived inside of, and felt outside of various nations, between Canada, New Zealand, Berlin, Germany, and most recently a cabin in the remote American South, where she spent two years writing, recording, and recalibrating. There, she made use of field recordings and found instruments, taught herself production techniques, and drew deeply on a bone-deep spirituality that runs through everything she makes. Her sound is earthen and serene with cosmic moments threaded in, resulting in a mystic folk that is tinged in a Berliner haze and a Southern heat. Her debut album, All Things Heavy, was released via Bronze Rat Records (Seasick Steve, Jon Spencer), compiling tracks from originally self-released EPs. Now signed to UK label Full Time Hobby, Mynolia has recently released the new single Run Like Hell. This is an 18+ event

The Woodgies are Irish sisters Hannah and Meghan Woodger, whose acoustic music blends indie-pop and folk with the innate warmth and intimacy only sibling bands can hope to achieve. Based in Switzerland, they first rose to prominence when their debut album Holding Hands won the Montreux Jazz Festival's Coup de C?ur award. Since then, they've reached millions online with their heartfelt songs performed a cappella with natural reverb - their cover of "Dreams" by The Cranberries has over 13 million views.

With a new EP on the horizon, produced in Dublin by John "Spud" Murphy (Lankum, Ye Vagabonds), the duo continue to captivate audiences with a sound shaped as much by Irish tradition as by their Swiss upbringing, carving out a space that feels both timeless and distinctly their own.

By her own admission, Roxanne de Bastion was a "weird kid". Smiling at the memory today, she recalls, "Being really frustrated with myself around the age of seven or eight and saying to my musician dad 'but when am I going to write a song?' and he would just say, 'You'll write a song when you've got something to say.' Take your time, it's fine." These words of reassurance are set to be proven prophetic with the release of Roxanne's second album, "You And Me, We Are The Same", a record that sees the now London-based singer-songwriter finding her authentic voice, while channelling the pain of her father's death last year. For Roxanne, it's been an arduous journey to this point, and one that's required her to keep courage in her convictions in order to succeed. Brought up between Berlin and the West Midlands, she grew up obsessed with The Beatles and Alanis Morissette, and was soon determined to become a musician like her father. To those ends, she left Berlin for London straight from high school and - with no financial support and no contacts in the city - got by balancing hospitality and admin work with the 90-odd solo gigs she played per year across the UK and Europe. To date, Roxanne has played over 600 gigs, including two USA tours in 2017 and 2018.
