Little Big Town

Little Big Town is an American country music band. Formed in 1999, the band has four members: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet. There is no lead singer in the band; instead, they trade lead vocal duties as well as rely on the harmonies of the four members. Little Big Town's self-titled 2002 debut for Sony's Monument Records was panned critically and did not sell commercially. The album had only one minor hit single, "Don't Waste My Time," and it wasn't long before Little Big Town was dropped from the label.

Andrea Glass

Hailing from Bolton in the north of England, Andrea Glass is a singer-songwriter. Her style is part folk, part Americana. Her lyrics are poignant and reflective, telling tales ­ real and imagined. Andrea’s love of music started at an early age. She began playing guitar when she was so small that she couldn’t reach the bass strings to play full chords. A brief stint playing borrowed brass instruments and keyboards ended when she rediscovered the guitar at age 14. She then committed herself to learning to play full chords and copying her favourite songs.

Going back and forth across this country from the Yukon, Gordie has performed some 200 shows a year either solo or with his band. He writes his own songs, plays a guitar, uses a slide, blows a harmonica, and is sometimes touched with a voice like a bird on a warm spring morning belting out the last day on earth. He also does other things before he gets to share his music like book his tours, promote them, manage his band, radio track his records, act as an agent, road manager, publicist, apply for things, pay for everything, parent the kids and make time for the girl.

Luke Brennan

...Rock from the ground, folk from town & country and pop from the sky... Luke Brennan is a compelling young singer-songwriter based in Melbourne. His work is inspired by an eclectic and eccentric interest in original music. As an artist his compass is set somewhere between the suburban streets of childhood where sullen and monotonous lives are romanticised by the escapist, and the sticky hardwood dancefloors of bandrooms where everyone dances with anyone in celebration of the traditions of soul, folk and rock n roll.

The Humour

Hailing from Wakefield, The Humour are all just 20 years old, though they’re already making it out of their home town in a very big way. Indeed, their reputation of being the UK’s next big rock band is spreading throughout the country. Sell out shows in the larger room at the Leeds Cockpit are hard enough for big-name, major-label bands with huge marketing budgets to achieve. But for The Humour, it’s standard stuff.
