Dharma Burns
Acoustic grunge duo based in Bristol mixing vulnerable and intimate folk songwriting with raw, volatile alternative music. A stripped back but heavy sound getting to the grit of grunge via interwoven guitar progressions and vocal harmonies . Expect an emotional and dynamic performance.
Teorstan is led by songwriter, singer, and guitarist Tom Martin. Named after the Old English word for the river that runs through his hometown, Teorstan’s songs combine the storytelling tradition of folk music with a modern feel, pairing a poetic pen with raw, real emotion. His songs blend the narrative folk of Nebraska-era Springsteen and the intricate, intimate stylings of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens.
Gumf is a collection of pocket lint, nonsense; a tiny wet something handed to you by a toddler.
FFO: home baking, people trying to avoid writing in the third person, Talking Heads.
