Francesco Renna was born in Avellino, a small town near Naples in the South of Italy, on January 5, 1987, and began playing guitar and harmonica at age 14, when he fell in love with his uncle’s Edoardo Bennato records. He started forming rock blues bands in high school, playing the repertoire of Eric Clapton and his own compositions. 
In 2005 he moved to Bologna to attend Communication Studies at University. During his time there, Renna got totally involved with Acoustic Blues music, which was a significant change for his musical style. He picked up the fingerstyle technique from Bob Dylan and Piedmont guitarists like John Jackson. During his spare time, he played the clubs and street corners of Campania and Emilia Romagna.

After a short period in Perugia in 2010, Renna came back to his hometown, where he started a good live activity and produced his first solo album Appunti dal blu. The CD came out in September 2011, getting a good response from Italian and international radio stations and some local media attention.
The deluxe version of Appunti dal blu contains 11 tracks plus 3 bonus live recorded tracks with the band Nuits d’Octobre.

Renna followed it up with Guidami Eshu – Live at Sound Design in July 2013, a record that began to focus his style towards songwriting. The album was broadcasted in some radio stations of Italy, America and Australia.
In late 2013 Renna moved to Australia for one year, where he started playing a few shows in some clubs and street corners of Perth and Fremantle. There he duet with Mike de Velta, a fabulous Australian songwriter, and recorded some guitar tracks for Alfredo Malabello’s album Reflections.

New Renna’s single, a rearrangement of the previous album’s title track Guidami Eshu, was released January 2016, three years after his last publication. The artistic production of the song was entrusted to Luigi Nobile of Monochrome Records. This song was chosen by the need to create a music video with an intense and meaningful story, intended to represent Renna’s musical journey.
The digital release includes three tracks, one of which is an improvisation on piano played by Luis Di Gennaro.

Matt Robertson see’s the world around him like a movie, with infinite story lines and soundtracks weaving together the harmonies of sadness and joy and melodies of dark and light. Always the dreamer, he naturally fell into the life of a creative soul, listening and making music to give life as he knew it depth and meaning. In those difficult days as a teenager he could always count on his guitar to keep him company, until of course that fateful day in the spring of 1987 when Jason Atterton, a high school buddy who shared Matt’s love of all things Grateful Dead decided to buy a bass guitar. That afternoon, in the basement of Matt’s parents house, the Tree Shepherds were born. They didn’t know it at the time but this would forever change their lives, taking them to the highest of peaks and the darkest of valleys for the next 25 years playing their unique style of rootsy acoustic folk music. They covered the music of the Grateful Dead, interpreting the songs of the band they loved so much with clumsy charm and loose grace.
This naturally led Matt to the art of song crafting, he was shy and introverted and went through many of life’s trauma’s early on but with a creative mind that seems to know no bounds he began writing to try to make sense of all the experiences one goes through growing up and growing older. This is how he got to understand why things are the way there are, through music, art, writing, photography and dance he made his way through life and survived and prospered. Over the years many musicians have come and gone and come back again, all remain brothers and sisters, integral and essential parts in a musical journey, sonicly woven together like a tapestry, connected for life. At the end of the day though, the real essence of the Tree Shepherds is just Jay and Matt.
Through good times and in bad, they have managed to stay true to their course, fumbling along, meeting at least once a week to play some of the old stuff, run through some of the new tunes Matt has written after which maybe they might play some tunes of the artists they love and admire like the Grateful Dead, Ryan Adams, Iron and Wine or Elliott Smith. You might wonder why after 25 years of being together why haven’t you heard of them.. well, you see they are veterans, not so much of the beer stained bars and the lonely cafes of the city but of the barns, basements and shacks where they have been crafting there style, trying to make it be just exactly perfect, and having big fun in the meantime.

Tom Smith is a singer-songwriter from Dublin. Armed with extensive experience and expanding musicianship developed from playing in bands around the Dublin area since a young age, he began writing songs on his own about two years ago. The serene and beautiful Moon Bird enticed many a follower to his Soundcloud page as people were impressed by this self-produced work and were left wanting to hear more. Likewise, the stripped back cover of God Only Knows by The Beach Boys demonstrates the unique originality he can bring to well-known songs while showcasing an exquisite vocal ability.

Mr Carroll followed, receiving a huge positive response. From its gentle opening guitar to the first line, ‘Tell you a story, about a man…’, it hooks you right in revealing an already well accomplished lyricist. If songs could paint pictures Mr Carroll would be a masterpiece. This particular song has been played on RTE2xm on more than one occasion as well as being featured on the September 2012 issue of the Music Review Unsigned Double Album ‘MRU PURE VOL 3’.

Tom’s most recent upload, Trouble’s Got You Down has so far garnered a similarly great response with a sharp rise in new plays. As interest in his music continues to grow in this digital age, there are promising things on the horizon. 

Since launching himself as a solo artist, Thomas has got out to promote himself live at singer-songwriter nights all over Dublin including Sweeney’s, Anseo, Camden Sessions,Vaughan’s and many more. All set to record his debut EP in the next few months he’ll be getting out to play live as much as he possibly can throughout 2013. With this forthcoming EP to promote and such inspiring and thought provoking music to share, he would like to appear at festivals throughout both Ireland and the UK this coming season. If he's playing near you don't miss out on what will be an evening of pure quality.

It's amazing what can be produced from just a guitar and a voice! The incredibly beautiful and simplistic easy listening of Thomas Smith - UNSIGNED DUBLIN
