ROB COWEN & THE DISSIDENTS create euphoric epic-folk that manages to sound both timeless and timely. Part poems and part sing-a-long anthems, these are swaggering rock ‘n’ roll songs of passion and hope, infectious tales of survival and social observation that come straight from this country's heartlands. The story of this elegiac, epic sound starts with singer/songwriter Rob Cowen who hails from a small town on the Yorkshire moors.

Roxy Rawson knows how to bewitch a crowd. The classically- trained musician has been bringing her unique blend of impish violin vocals to the London gig scene for a few years. Her music is beautifully peculiar; a sweet mix of classical notes and frenzied, catch-me-if-you-can lyrics interspersed with bursts of laughter. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and is original to the point of raising eyebrows; comparisons to the likes of Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor are beginning to emerge. With each show, the applause gets louder and her name gets bigger.
