Line Up
Dynamic rock duo from Yorkshire. As heard on BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and Planet Rock. With their rough around the edges style and metaphorical lyrics, the Hazy Janes create a noir-inspired musical experience that keeps you grooving. Their moody yet energising songs take listeners on a journey through shadowy alleys of emotions, while their upbeat and playful sound keeps spirits high. Recording directly to tape, they capture the raw essence of their music, infusing it with a vintage charm reminiscent of the ‘60s and ‘70s. With their dynamic chemistry, the Hazy Janes bring the electrifying aura of classic rock to the modern stage. The Hazy Janes’ latest EP, “Welcome to Cylinder City,” is their first concept release. Through their gritty blues rock, they explore the human experience and how we deal with chaos, injustice, crime and conflict.
“I can so hear this (The Grayston Boogie) on the opening credits of a TV series, SO GOOD.” Honor Morrison, BBC 6 Music
“Hang on a minute, how lethal was that session from the Hazy Janes?! I thought it was absolutely quality.” Jericho Keys, BBC Music Introducing York & North Yorkshire
“We love The Hazy Janes.” Alan Raw, BBC Music Introducing Humberside
“A band to be reckoned with… the talk of the town.” Mark Page, Director of Sesh Events/Humber Street Sesh

Fear, the Man is a folk musician and songwriter. During lockdown, a dark time for most, he dug deep into that yearning for connection and the earth and wrote a concept album inspired by his favourite genre - sea shanties. Since then, that album (titled ABACUS) has been recorded and performed at various venues across London and Birmingham, including the Hope & Anchor in Islington, as well as a stirring performance at the Worcester Music Festival. Each performance encourages a sense of community that feels needed in these modern times - so grab a tankard and get your pirate on.
Jude Todd
T. Thomason has captured audiences with high energy, emotional indie pop performances in Canada & beyond since his teenage years.
A passionate advocate for queer/trans rights, T. aims to create life affirming, joyful experiences for his community (& everyone else) through music. He approaches songwriting as a commitment to “Say tough things tenderly,” a practice revealing an impressive depth of wisdom, clarity & courage in the young artist.
Collaborating with Sarah McLachlan, opening for Carly Rae Jepsen, & touring with Collective Soul are only some highlights of T.’s exciting career to date. Recently signed with Six Shooter Records, 2024 promises to usher in T.’s best work yet, starting with singles Ruinous Love (written exclusively for the Tik Tok viral, New York Times bestselling dark romance Leather and Lark by Brynne Weaver), and the upbeat pop bop Fantasy, marking the beginning of a new era for T.!
