Chris will be releasing a song every 2 months throughout 2025 and will be bringing his full band across the UK for his first headline tour in October.

Georgia Maria – Described as “Joni-meets-Joan-Jett”, London-based, turbocharged acoustic rocker Georgia Maria first appeared on the scene at the onset of 2019, armed with her distinctive brand of ultra-melodic, prog-tinged folk-rock. The Camden native – already something of a veteran with years of experience playing in bands and doing guitar sessions and function gigs – channels her diverse musical experiences and “hands-on” education, into a sound that combines classic folk songwriting savvy with rock’n’roll intensity and an undeniably infectious dose of front-and-centre-stage, foot-on-the-monitor attitude.

Pan and the Wild – A lyrically substantive Folk-Rock ‘kick-offony’ assemblage of drummer Connor Molinski, bassist Toby Bhanji, guitarist Jim Cowdell and frontman Tam Mallitte. Inspired by Van Morrison, Pearl Jam, Pulp, Roy Harper, Jeff Buckley, and a ‘Hard Rain’ Dylan, the band aims to drive provocative wit and mysticism by jangle, bass & beat.
