Lucca Mae

Lucca Mae is taking the UK by storm—one gig at a time. A standout talent on the burgeoning London Soul/Blues circuit, Mae channels the raw soul of Sam Cooke, Paulo Nutini and the timeless spirit of Amy Winehouse. Her artistry caught the attention of legendary drummer brothers Alan White (Oasis) and Steve White (Paul Weller), who recorded on her highly anticipated debut album—an endorsement few can claim. With a trail of sold-out shows across the UK, Australia, Canada and Sweden her ability to woo an audience has made her one of the most talked-about emerging artists in the scene.

The Sonda Live Band

Joe and Max have been writing and performing together all over the UK for over 3 years. Both as session players for various artists as well as performing their own music, backed by some of Bristols top session musicians. Sonda fuses glistening disco, soul and funk to create a sound that will keeps heads boppin’ and feet movin’! 

ZENA

Fusing the sounds of folk and neo-soul with sharp, relatable lyrics, ZENA has become an ever growing talent on the South-West music scene. With her value placed in poignant and honest lyricism and a love for experimentation with instrumental arrangement and genre mixing, ZENA finds power in connecting with audiences through performance.

She’s performed at popular Bristol venues such as Thekla and The Fleece, as well as a range of festivals that includes ValleyFest, Victorius Festival and AnExperience Festival.

Her latest release “Where The Dead Things Lay” has been featured on Jazz FM and flourishes as the lead single from collective Bristol album, “Something In The Water.”
