Making a Scene Presents

All his life, Eddie 9V (9-volt) has acted on instinct. Aged just 15, this old-soul artist turned away from the path of  college and jobs to burst all guns blazing onto the roots and blues club circuit of his native Atlanta, Georgia. Flash  forward to 2019, and for his debut album, Left My Soul In Memphis, the prodigious multi-instrumentalist simply  powered up the amps in his mobile trailer and with his brother/co-writer/producer, Lane Kelly, laid down one of  the year’s breakout releases, acclaimed as “fresh and life-affirming” by Rock & Blues Muse. “Memphis was a total  side project,” shrugs Eddie, “that ended up taking off.”

Jamie Williams and the Roots Collective are Jamie Williams on vocals & rhythm guitar; Dave 'The Hat' Milligan on lead guitar; Jake 'The Dude' Milligan on Bass & James Bacon on drums. They exist on an imaginary tightrope stretching between Tom Petty & The Rolling Stones. Settled into the current super-tight line-up after many years and hundreds of shows the band is now on fire, playing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana at festivals, venues, clubs & pubs including a couple of rapturous nights at London's legendary 100 Club, their ethos is always to have fun and make sure the crowd does too.  This is not a band that stands onstage staring at their (red) shoes.

Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls combine the voodoo sounds and syncopated rhythms of the blues, but uniquely delivered with an old timey vaudeville twist.  It’s music that makes people wanna come down and shake their bones!
