K.C. McKanzie does her very own brand of Americana and Folk. A bittersweet Old-Time-flavour combines with a contemporary touch of rootsy rhythms.
On her 4th album "DryLand" K.C. McKanzie (voc, guit, banjo) and her partner in crime Budi (bs, banjo, dr, p) present a multitude of melodies, supplemented now and then with cello or piano. The simple acoustic instrumentation gives an unpretentious but very intense sound.

Fronted by singer Chele Willow, formerly of Las Vegas, and playing a lively mixture of folk, rock, blues and Americana style, BorderLine Crossing is based in Warwickshire,UK. Their line-up sees the return to an essentially acoustic sound that has proved popular at folk clubs and festivals. Their repertoire encompasses the influences of blues, soul, west-coast rock and traditional American music and includes a number of self-penned material alongside classics first recorded by Billie Holiday, Townes van Zandt, Patti Scialfa, Jackson Browne and Amos Lee.

The Gilded Palace of Sin is a country band from Manchester, England. Their debut album "You Break Our Hearts, We'll Tear Yours Out" was released in the UK in 2009. (note that the Gilded Palace of Sin is an album by the country rock group The Flying Burrito Brothers; it was released in 1969)

Songwriter Christopher Watkins developed an intense passion for the Delta blues at the early age of 16. Seven years later, as "Preacher Boy", he put together an electric band that would maintain the traditional feel of acoustic blues while transplanting it into clubs for young audiences who may have never even heard of Robert Johnson or Charley Patton. Preacher Boy and the Natural Blues were an instant hit on the alternative rock circuit, their skewed roots sound capturing the imagination of everyone within earshot.
