The night will be hosted by the multi-award winning Glaswegian duo Raintown. Tickets are £15 in advance or £18 on the door.

Amber Kamminga: It’s no surprise that music from Nashville got to Amber Kamminga from the just as rural town Grootebroek, The Netherlands (population: 9,000). The (country)music of Jewel, Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves brought big dreams for the small town girl. After spending two years writing her bold but beautiful pop songs with that American sound, she released her first EP ‘Star-Crossed Lovers’ in March 2017. The musical journey has taken her to great stages all over the Netherlands such as Paradiso, De Vorstin, Patronaat, PopEI, Sugarfactory and several national radioshows. She shared the stage with great acts like Darlyn, Rivers, Molly Burch (US), Emil Landman and Matt Winson. The girl from Grootebroek even got to play the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee. She got to document her Nashville adventure in vlogs for Viva Magazine. “Kamminga sings like she was born and raised in Nashville – crystal clear with a twang”” – Here Comes The Flood

Sophie Hanson: Sophie Hanson is a Swedish Country-Pop artist with a Nordic melancholic twist. Born & raised in Eskilstuna she grew up listening to old time classics like Johnny Cash, Little Richard & Chuck Berry. With a powerful, yet emotional voice she combines the best of both worlds In 2018 she had her big breakthrough with “So Long”. It reached great success with heavy rotation on Sweden national radio followed by radio plays in USA, Canada, UK, Australia & India. “Die At 29” is her new single from the upcoming album. A song about how her own setbacks and failures in life made her fall so hard that that it felt like she was going to die – never give up, keep on fighting! Life is not over at the age of 29.

Raintown: Over the last 2 years, their live reputation continued to grow with performances that included, a successful UK tour, Country2Country at London's O2 Arena, Party at the Palace Music Festival, Belladrum Music Festival, supporting Deacon Blue at Montorse Music Festival, Runrig at the iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire and American, Josh Kelley in Glasgow. “Go and see one of their dynamic live performances and get on the Raintown bandwagon because the best is yet to come” - Country Music People Their sophomore release, ‘WRITING ON THE WALL’ continues their impressive development. It contains a polished mix of bright, up-tempo guitar-led Americana, Country pop-rock all arranged around superb harmonies and the duo’s trade mark back and forth vocals. It has gained praise from fans and critics alike including five star review’s from both ‘Country Music People’ - who said, “every single track has something remarkable about it” - and Maverick Magazine which commented, “the record is truly excellent.” “It is very,very good.” Bob Harris – Radio2
