Line Up
Tommy Rodger is a man of style with an energetic intensity. A handmade fresh take on an old-school storyteller sound.
This kind-eyed singer-songwriter keeps his sound stripped back and will remind you of boys of the past somehow. Here is a thoughtful old-soul with a cheeky humour who wears his whole heart on his sleeve. As Tommy begins to release his discography, he will discuss themes of joy, pain, love, fear, community, uncertainty, story, existence, mischief and contentment, so that we can, perhaps, together have a better understanding of this strange circumstance we call life.
Tommy lives and writes under the guide of one principal.
“To live the story of your life as YOU, truthfully and passionately, is the greatest action one could ever choose to partake in. In all its glory and all its tragedy."
This is what he hopes everyone takes away from the work.
And, also, let's have a bit of fun along the way.
Jacob Coley is an Alt-Rock artist based in Manchester. His sensitive introspective songwriting meets his band’s expansive and atmospheric sound; reminiscent of Ben Howard, Coldplay and The War on Drugs.
Goda Kukucione and her 4-piece soul band, based in London. She just released her first debut EP, Seasons, a project that goes beyond traditional genre limits to delve into the complex dimensions of love. Goda Kukucione and her band play regularly in London. In September, they played in 02 Academy Islington's main stage as a big project for the debut EP release party.
With her eclectic mix of genres, ranging from rock-infused anthems to jazz fusion melodies with a soul spice, you can expect original quality tunes influenced by artists like Joss Stone, Olivia Dean, Beady Belle and more.

Sam Stokes (the fire) is the eternal flame. She is the soft and tender candlelight dinner of a long-awaited first date and she is the strength and force of a large wildfire racing through the forest.
She is bold, courageous and commanding like a lioness in the jungle. Yet she is soft and sweet like honey from a sunflower. She bursts through your hallowed walls only to help you find the innocent child of your soul longing for a hug.
She is your wildest desires and she is no one. She is everyone, she is you. She is Sam Stokes (the fire).
Singer-Songwriter Trevan brings his fresh yet nostalgic ‘So-Cal’ Rock/Pop sound to more than 100 events annually and has performed for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, KTLA, Coto de Caza Magazine, OC Summer Park Series, as well as at resorts like the Balboa Bay Club, Cliff Laguna, the Club at Pasadera, and numerous wineries, breweries and private events.
Trevan combines his own original music (inspired by artists such as Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and Third Eye Blind) with a repertoire of over 150 covers; including 90's and 2000's favorites.
Trevan has also written music with Grammy Winning Macy Gray, Platinum UK Artist Daria Marx, and had licensing placements with T- Mobile, Wendy's, the NFL, and NBA.
