Cowboy Punk / Gritty County-Folk band from The Black Country in the West-Midlands of England.

Described by London's 'Soul Stripped Sessions' as 'a powerhouse and then some', Oxfordshire’s Abi Farrell was raised on a soundtrack of female-driven pop, funk and soul.
Influences from the likes of Aretha, Carole King, Eva Cassidy and Chaka Khan may all be present in Abi’s music but each song is brought into the here and now by her effortlessly pure voice and earnest, empowering lyrics;
In November 2019 she released her debut EP ‘The Only Way I Learn’ which has amassed nearly 50K streams to date.
Following its release, Abi was named Richer Unsigned’s ‘Artist of the Week’ - “Abi’s control and vibrato of her incredible vocal tone is truly stunning”.
At an East London jam In February 2020, a chance meeting with Nick Corbin (New Street Adventure, Lack of Afro, Laville), sparked a songwriting partnership that would develop fruitfully over lockdown.
A shared love of soulful music contributed to ‘Empowered’ - Abi’s solo composition, re-produced in demo form by Nick - and the co-written ‘I Will See You Through’.
The songs attracted the attention of producer, Mitch Ayling (The Milk), who invited Abi and her band to record at Woods Lodge Studio in Essex.
Look out for the limited edition 7” vinyl featuring “Empowered” and “I Will See You Through” in early 2021!

Singer-songwriter and poet writing hopeful, cinematic and redemptive folk inspired by the heroes of lyrical songwriting. His big voice and poetic lyricism combines to create a unique and beautiful sound that resonates with listeners on a deeper level.

His latest EP ‘Valley Floor’ explores the dynamic between our desire for mountain top experiences and the valley floors our lives are actually lived on. The combination of folk and indie rock on the EP invites listeners to sing songs from the ground of the valley floors our lives, slow down, listen to others and see the light in everyone around them.
