Talent spotted by BBC Radio‘s Bob Harris, Annie Keating is “building the reputation her talent deserves” according to the Daily Telegraph, with a brilliant UK live band and eleven critically acclaimed studio albums, she draws comparisons to Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt and John Prine. Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe — in that way that only the best artists can — that all of it is worth the cost.
“One of the brightest lights on the Americana scene.”
Foley describes the musical blend of his songs: “I grew up listening to a wide variety of music and I have never been drawn towards being a purist of any particular genre. It’s folk, rock n’ roll, country, pop, blues and more but none of those things in their original form. Being able to mix and change styles has always been part of who I am as a songwriter.” Born into an Anglo-Irish family in Manchester, Foley was always around music and remembers fondly the family gatherings when people would sing and share songs together. Americana influences have been there all along but his sound is very much his own.
