Canaan Cox is the definition of a triple threat - artist, actor and dancer. His music is a fusion of contemporary country, pop and a hint of rhythm and blues, which is no surprise as he grew up in a musical household. Originally from North Carolina, his father blasted Conway Twitty records while his mother toured the southeast with her band, and his seven sisters ensured he had a healthy dose of pop music. Cox went on to earn his BFA in Musical Theatre from Catawba College which allows him a unique musical perspective that influences everything he does today, from writing original music to his performance during live shows. Cox moved to Nashville in the fall of 2016, and began playing the downtown bars on Broadway.

From the French chanson ‘Sans Deséspor’ to celtic-inspired ‘Mother You Are’ to the grungy ‘Don’t Despair’, this last year has seen award-winning Hannah White release a brand new single every month, and they have been making waves along the way. With glowing reviews applauding her “effortless, suave pop sensibility” (Fresh on the Net) and &amp;quot;irresistible cinematic soundtrack” (W21Music) creations, the songs have been championed by Cerys Matthews, aired nationally on BBC Radio 2 &amp;amp; BBC 6 Music and led to an invitation for a ‘Live in Session’ show on BBC Radio Scotland.The artist Holler Magazine described as “Americana’s answer to Mike Skinner. More Patsy Palmer than Cline” began 2023 by earning a Americana Music Association UK Best Song Award, and ended it with the release of her much-anticipated album ‘Sweet Revolution’ which reached #17 in the Official UK Americana Charts and #14 in the Official Independent Album Charts, earning her two wins at this year’s 2025 Americana Music Association UK Awards for ‘Album Of The Year’ and ‘UK Artist Of The Year’, and one for guitarist husband Keiron Marshall who was awarded ‘UK Instrumentalist Of The Year’.Her typically British, self-deprecating humour does nothing to diminish the emotion which Acoustic Magazine described as “arresting and wholly believable”. Hannah White is an artist who has “a wittiness to her grittiness and a sparkling wink in her poetry”; One who personifies authenticity. Her shows are the true story of a person whose path has taken her from homeless single mother to internationally recognised award-winning artist and, needless to say, one who leaves nothing in the dressing room.Uncut Magazine called her’s “an expressive voice and songcraft”, whilst Krentenuitdepop, Netherlands attested this is “roots music on par with the best currently being made in the US”. Fatea Magazine said “songwriting from the top drawer” whilst 3 Chords And The Truth agree ”we are in the midst of a seriously fine songwriter”.“If soul is a feeling, a fire that burns inside you, then Hannah White is without a doubt a soul singer” (Holler).

In 2021 Vision Video released their debut LP, Inked in Red, which told the story of lead singer Dusty Gannon (aka TikTok’s “Goth Dad”) and the darkness he saw as a soldier in Afghanistan.This story continues with 2022’s Haunted Hours, which explores Dusty’s experience as a firefighter and paramedic during one of the darkest times in recent history. Working on the frontlines of a deadly pandemic immediately after leaving the horrors of war transformed Dusty’s songwriting resulting in a more accessible album as the subject matter has touched us all.The theme of Haunted Hours is most clearly illustrated in the lead single “Beautiful Day to Die.” Musically, the track is light and airy with a clear ‘80s Brit Pop influence. Of the lyrics Dusty explains: “I wrote this song about how I had to become friends with the concept of mortality because I was around it so regularly. The shock of seeing bodies becomes more pedestrian, and you’re even able to see beauty in some situations; like when families come together over loss, or the stories people will tell you about the deceased.” Dusty’s real-life experience is again the driving force behind the record, imparting both an authenticity and passion unique to Vision Video’s sound.Not content to just tell his own story this time around, Dusty draws from the experiences of Vision Video’s new legion of fans, or “Baby Bats,” as they are known in TikTok circles. This new, empathetic approach to writing is fully realized in the title track “Haunted Hours” which channels the true story of a fan’s husband’s untimely passing that was transformed into arguably the most accessible, yet meaningful song the band has written. Dusty reflected on this track – “I wanted to capture the ache of loss, the weight of memory and the appreciation of memory all at once.” This sentiment is realized through the melody of an incredibly catchy chorus that captures loss wrapped in beauty.The story of Haunted Hours would be incomplete without a discussion of the Goth Dad phenomenon. After experiencing so much pain and suffering first-hand, Dusty threw himself into a character he created on social media to help others deal with their pain, be it the loss we all share from the pandemic, or accepting yourself for who you truly are no matter what other people think. This fervent leverage of the time lockdown provided has been the story of Vision Video, the band used this opportunity to create, build a following, and reach out to the world, letting them know they are not alone. The message resonated, leading to over 600k followers across social media platforms.Goth Dad is now part of the band, and the love and support provided by the Baby Bats has let the band flourish. Vision Video made a tough decision to not sign to a label and control their own destiny. The Baby Bats have provided the support to make an independent Vision Video successful, allowing them to make another record on their own terms, and the band is forever grateful.www.visionvideoband.com

&quot;Carl Marah carries a traditional feel that remains timeless... familiar yet fresh&quot; - SNACK Magazine. &quot;Lyricism, consciousness, musicality, seamless vocal, guitar and looping dexterity, ultimately all rolled up into his uniquely intimately genial story&quot; - Medicine Show RadioCarl Marah is a modern songsmith whose timeless sound, evocative voice, and cinematic storytelling echo the poetic depth of Dylan, the melodic warmth of Paul Simon, and the haunting mystique of Rodriguez. His music feels like it was found in the dust of an old record shop - weathered, timeless, and humming with heartfelt truths. An Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter, Marah walks the line between past and present, his melodies stretching across decades, his voice conveying the memories and stories of life’s lessons and observations.Marah has long been a driving force in the Edinburgh music scene, co-fronting psychedelic pop outfit Logan’s Close. Now in addition, he is stepping out into the solo spotlight, showcasing his wealth of original material, each song a flickering film reel of images conjured in the mind’s eye.His latest release, Siren Song, is a fever dream set to music - with the kind of Lynchian drama where reality blurs at the edges, where the familiar becomes strange, and where beauty and danger waltz in slow motion. His voice oscillates between tender vulnerability and a subtle, underlying intensity, drawing listeners into a soundscape that is as mysterious as it is captivating. This nuanced vocal performance complements the song&#39;s themes, creating an atmosphere that lingers long after the final note.In early 2025, following the release of Siren Song, Marah set out across the UK, performing as North as Ullapool and as South as London, and visiting almost everywhere in between. Each performance was a communion - his voice reverberating through dimly lit venues, weaving songs of love, life, and nostalgia, ultimately converting listeners to his musical cause.Like the great troubadours before him, Carl Marah doesn’t just write songs; he conjures worlds. And if you listen closely, you might just find yourself lost in one.http://www.carlmarah.com/http://www.linktree.com/carlmarah

&quot;Nashville-based and Australian-born, this singer-songwriter crafts music that delves deep into personal pain and triumph, capturing the essence of human experience in her powerful, anthemic sound.” - House of SoloAcclaimed Nashville-based Australian singer-songwriter Imogen Clark returns to the UK, celebrating the release of her new album The Art of Getting Through.A proud road dog, Imogen has toured relentlessly since her teenage years, crisscrossing Australia, the UK, Europe and the US with artists including The Tallest Man on Earth, BOWEN * YOUNG, Steve Poltz, Jim Lauderdale and Shania Twain.The new album ‘The Art of Getting Through’, proudly genre-agnostic, encapsulates Imogen’s range as a songwriter and recording artist. The lyrics are her most bracingly personal and vulnerable, the music more powerful and anthemic than ever. From navigating her identity to touching on the shadows of an eating disorder, each of Imogen&#39;s songs unfold like a chapter in a deeply personal diary, capturing moments, memories, and confessions from her journey.After writing over a hundred songs, she embarked on a musical pilgrimage, traveling to cities that have inspired her musically - London, Nashville, and Los Angeles. This journey took her to some of the world’s most iconic recording spaces including Peter Frampton’s Studio Phenix in Nashville, Abbey Road in London, and East West in Los Angeles, where the legendary &quot;Pet Sounds&quot; was recorded.It’s no wonder collaborators from Jim Lauderdale to Colin Hay to Steve Poltz to members of Gang of Youths, Bright Eyes, Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello’s Imposters, Dawes, My Morning Jacket and more have lined up to collaborate with an artist whose dynamism, relentless creativity and striving to be the most fully evolved version of herself, both in and out of the studio, shows her as a force to be reckoned with, and one who is just getting started.”
