JACK ROWBERRY
A passionate musician since his earliest memories, Rowberry’s journey took flight in 2017 when his band secured coveted support slots alongside renowned acts like Ocean Colour Scene and Razorlight. However, life’s unexpected turns led to a hiatus, which was further compounded by the disruptive impact of the global pandemic, halting the momentum that Rowberry and his band had been building.
CLAIRE HASTINGS
Folksinger, songwriter and ukulele player Claire Hastings has made a name for herself on the folk scene since winning BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year in 2015.
Originally from Dumfries and Galloway, Claire has toured extensively both as a solo artist and with her band, with standout performances including BBC’s Friday Night is Music Night alongside Lulu and Jamie Cullum, on BBC’s Hogmanay 2021 performing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and as a soloist with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Randers Chamber Orchestra and Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, as well as numerous folk festival appearances.
KATEE KROSS
Katee Kross' vocals can flip from breathtaking beautiful to hard hitting grit throughout her set and her charismatic, energetic and quiry stage presence will get any crowd in the party mood.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland - Katee Kross is a talented singer songwriter whose music can be best described as a blend of Country and Americana.
Coming from a small tight-knit musical family Katee's dreams and aspirations have always been fully supported. Her Dad, who is also a professional musician and one of her biggest influences, helped to show Katee the ropes from a very young age and instilled in her the benefits of hard work, passion and self belief. Being the youngest in her family Katee was often introduced to a wide range of genres such as Folk, Country, Roots, Rock and Americana. Which now helps to flavour her original and standalone material.
