Line Up

CJ Solar has spent the past decade writing hits for some of country’s biggest artists - Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Justin Moore, and others. With his southern roots, rock influences, and country storytelling, Solar has the formula down for relatable hit songs. After releasing music and touring now for over a decade himself, Solar has captured the live essence of his shows in his upcoming music project set for release in 2025.

He has been named one of Rolling Stone’s “New Artists You Need to Know”, nominated for ASCAP’s “Artist-Writer of the Year”, and named Music Row’s Independent Artist of the Year over the past years…THIS is the year that you will know why.

KC Johns’ music is infectious and with dynamic powerhouse pipes that take you on a whiskey-soaked jaunt to your favourite honky-tonk in the best way possible. Think Miranda Lambert meets Sheryl Crow with a touch of Brandi Carlisle, and you’ve got an artist with a voice all her own, with songs that make you feel like you’ve known her forever. Born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in Hernando, Mississippi, a small town along the Tennessee-Mississippi line, KC was surrounded by music for as long as she can remember. Named after KC and the Sunshine Band and raised on the greats like Led Zeppelin, Stevie Nicks, and Sheryl Crow, as KC gears up for 2025, new songs and performances will follow.

KC Johns is a unique musical force, and as she enters the next phase of her career, her mission remains clear. “I honestly just want to continue going out and meeting wonderful people,” she humbly advises. “I love relating to people through my music.”

In little over a year, Jack Francis has gone from playing his unique brand of Folk/Soul/Americana at small local gigs in his hometown of Southampton, to appearing at major UK festivals such as the Isle Of Wight, Victorious and Stone Free Festival at the O2 Arena.

Attracting the attention of the industry, his debut EP 'The Van Wyck Expressway' has been championed by BBC Introducing, as well as receiving national radio play on Tom Robinson's Radio 6 Music show. His self-titled second EP was released at the start of 2017. The lead single 'Play On' was recorded at The Workshop, Notting Hill in late 2016, and was debuted on BBC Introducing shortly after."
