Award winning singer songwriter Chris Fox has worked his way through the Cambridge music scene the past few years, including Cambridge Folk Festival. His music reflects thought provoking topics and humorous  insights on life with deep powerful vocals and varied and eclectic guitar styles that span the roots lexicon of Americana, Folk, Country and Blues. Here is our chat, influenced by a few beers, and an exclusive performance from Chris of two of his songs.

Roswell are Zoё Wren and Jasmine Watkiss, two harmony-obsessed multi-instrumentalists who formed a duo after an impromptu Cambridgeshire gig in 2018. As Americana UK wrote, “Roswell are on an upward trajectory, no doubt about it; get in there now so you can say ‘Ah yes, I was listening to them before they were famous’.” It’s an honour to get to know them better, and the 2 songs that featured just show how well they sound together. https://www.roswellband.co.uk/ #BehindTheFolk
