Driven by deeply personal, yet universal narratives Reed Waddle’s latest release, Time the River, showcases his unique musical vibes as a Nashville based musician. Time the River blends Reed’s acoustic singer/songwriter chops with the classic California country sound inspired by influences like Neil Young and Tom Petty. The album opens with Reed’s soulful voice on the high energy, toe-tapping tune, “Too Bright to Fade Away.”  The song’s powerful message, especially in the uncertain era of COVID-19, reminds us that we all have “a light too bright to fade away” and that “we’ll keep, we’ll keep on holding on.”
  
Throughout his multi-faceted career, Reed has honed his craft playing thousands of gigs and racking up prestigious awards. For the past five years, the grand prize winner of the Telluride Troubadour contest immersed himself in the Nashville songwriting scene, getting his songs heard by the musical greats and recorded by renowned indie artists. 
 
Reed started his musical journey along the sandy shores of his small, yet idyllic hometown of Destin, Florida. While there, he released two albums – Higher Ground and Piece By Piece. In 2009, seeking inspiration and adventure, Reed moved to Boston. Within months, he captured the Grand Prize of the coveted New York Songwriters Circle and was a winner of The Mountain Stage New Song Competition. During this period of great change, growth and struggle, Reed moved to New York City, found an ally in British producer Iestyn Polson (David Gray, David Bowie) and the two completed the critically acclaimed album, Creatures of the Heart. For his latest release, Time The River, Reed handpicked Nashville-based producer Jesse Thompson, and together they created a musical work of art that is drawn from real life experiences.
 
Reed has opened for or appeared on stage with Hall and Oates, Jason Isbell, Graham Nash, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Shawn Colvin, John Fogerty, The Indigo Girls, Matt Kearney, The All American Rejects, The Punch Brothers, Glen Hansard, Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers, Tim Reynolds (Dave Matthews Band), Shawn Mullins, Jessie Harris, The Whalers and many others.

Minnie Birch is a folk pop artist from Hertfordshire UK. She was BBC Radio 1s introducing artist of the week, Buzzfeed's "one to watch" and received awards and critical acclaim in national press for her original compositions on life, love, loss and fairytale. 

She released a Sunday Times Top 100 record of the year with a unique album based on songs heard on the football terraces.  Minnie has toured extensively across the UK, Europe and across Nashville USA. 

An intriguing and unusual artist, Minnie was forced to take a career break when she was diagnosed with a rare cancer, a diagnosis which turned her world on its head and also effected the mobility in her right harm. Minnie struggled through extensive physio to get back to playing her piano and guitar. 

Her new songs are a testament to the hope and the love you can find in your darkest hours. She is looking forward to sharing them with you. Prepare to have your heart put in a soft spin, wrung out, hung out to dry and handed back to you ready to wear to the party again.

Jack Blackman is fast developing into one the most accomplished and exciting young performers on the roots scene today. 
Jack’s guitar playing has been described as 'exceptional' by Whispering Bob Harris. He has performed his songs all across the country and as far as the Mississippi Delta. 

Having cut his teeth in his teens trading licks with such luminaries as Paul Jones and The Blues Band, more recently with Tony Joe White and receiving accolades from Martin Simpson who marvelled, ‘At last! A brilliant young guitarist coming through’, Jack is no stranger to blues and folk. On his latest album, 'Too South For Heaven', he fuses this with country, rock and pop with a voice that has been described as sounding 'older and more careworn than his tender years should allow' (Acoustic Magazine).

A rapidly rising star of the blues guitar, singer-songwriter Jack Blackman provides original contemporary blues numbers flavoured with folk and country (elements of Dylan and Tom Petty in the mix too) for a highly original fusion of styles underpinned by his accomplished guitar playing and his smooth vocals – which one reviewer described as “reminiscent of Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook” – and songwriting hooks.
