Liz Jones and Broken Windows

Gutsy, jazzy, bluesy, roots rock from Edinburgh band who sound like they’ve been lurking on the dark side of Memphis; with blistering guitar, sparkling percussion and classy, smoky vocals. Original songs delivered with fiery panache. Fronted by the dynamic Liz Jones, a surprisingly unique and gripping vocalist, they enjoy national radio play, sell-out shows and great reviews. Six-piece band including drums and bass, with veteran Blues’N’Trouble axeman John Bruce on guitar, along with rising keys maestro Jamie Hamilton and percussionist Suzy Cargill. The genre shifting answer to Edinburgh’s rootsy rock and blues needs!

Dean Owens and the Sinners

Let award-winning Scottish troubadour and band (with special guest Kirsten Adamson, daughter of Big Country's Stuart) transport you to a sepia-stained cantina with songs from his acclaimed new Sinner's Shrine album (recorded with musicians from Calexico). A unique blend of Scottish roots and Americana, with added desert noir. A multi-talented band including bass, electric guitar and trumpet with Dean's searingly soulful voice upfront, conjure the magic of the US desert states infused with Scotland's post-industrial heartland. Songs of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts

Fierce, funny and fabulous, she sandblasted her name in the annals of pop culture on RuPaul's Drag Race.
