Tummyache is a project that blurs the line between band and personal confession, a raw and enigmatic expression crafted by songwriter and producer Soren Bryce. Since its inception in 2018, Tummyache has carved out a space in the DIY scenes of both the United States and the UK, resonating with listeners who feel the weight of systemic struggles and societal expectations. Bryce’s music pulls no punches; her lyrics confront issues of class, privilege, and inner conflict, inviting listeners to face the harsh realities she lays bare. Tummyache is a fiercely independent, DIY-driven band rooted in community, care, and creative freedom. Together they approach music as a shared space rather than a product —prioritising connection, inclusivity, and honest expression over commercial goals. Their shows are built around mutual respect, accessibility, and collaboration, often supporting grassroots causes and creating environments where everyone feels welcome to participate or contribute. Tummyache itself has been a vessel for several long and short term creative partnerships within the framework of itself as a ‘band’, with Soren Bryce acting as the central force. ‘Repeat in Reverse’ - the fourth album out October 16th, 2026 - is an in-depth examination of the after effects of grief, through the personal experience of Soren losing her father two years ago. From intimate tape recordings from her flat to visceral screaming, it captures the cyclical nature of grief and it’s ability to invade and infect day to day life - how there is no light without dark, no acceptance without breaking, and no love without growth.

The Hug and Pint

Celebrating 20 years in 2027, Missouri’s The Hooten Hallers have been tearing up the road, blending blues, garage rock, country, punk, and jazz into a sound that’s truly their own. The band’s high-octane live shows must be experienced to be believed, with their raucous jams, tight vocal harmonies, and danceable grooves that make for a wild night and an unforgettable music experience. This powerhouse trio is driven by the vocal growl and swirling electric and lap steel guitars of John Randall, the powerful drumming and falsetto howl of Andy Rehm, and the burning baritone and bass saxophone lines of Kellie Everett. It’s Morphine meets ZZ Top mixed with a dash of George Thorogood and Tom Waits. But anyone who has seen this band live knows that this group is unlike anything they’ve experienced before. When The Hooten Hallers come to town, you know it’s gonna be a party! Emerging from nearly two decades worth of singalongs while racking up more than half a million miles in a van, comes The Hooten Hallers’ 7th official full length album entitled Van Jams Vol. 1, was released on April 3, 2026. This collection of songs both resonated with and influenced The Hooten Hallers and spans across decades of rock, punk, country, soul, R&amp;B, and indie but are all delivered with the signature sound that fans have come to expect from the band: dueling vocals between John Randall’s powerful, gravely lows and Andy Rehm’s buttery high tenor, jangly electric guitar, pounding drums, and soaring bass lines on the baritone sax. One could be taken aback by the pairing of Roky Erickson, David Bowie, Morphine, and George Jones, but the band’s wide ranging musical tastes serve to bring the listener on a strangely cohesive ride and shows just how far this trio can push the limits of what’s musically possible. This album is the embodiment of an epic road trip that has been taken and will be taken for years to come.

Inspired mainly by her own spirit, and Bjork, Aldous Harding, Judee Sill, Paul Simon and with the limbs of a young David Byrne; Irish artist Ae Mak (Aoife McCann) has been creating what her friends describe as “nursery rhymes for adults”, producing genre-defying other-worldly pop music with industrial beats and charging them into visceral - kinetic stage shows.&nbsp; She has performed across Europe &amp; the UK; supported bands such as Ye Vagabonds, TuneYards, Django Django, Warpaint and performed at festivals such as Fusion, Reading &amp; Leeds, Latitude, KEXP; Icelandic Airwaves and Electric Picnic. Her songwriting led her to signing a worldwide publishing deal with BDI Music UK in 2019.&nbsp;﻿Having released a plethora of self-produced EPs, done the Berlin and done the L.A thing, and made a couple of cartoon albums;&nbsp; She has just released her debut record “Folk Songs For Mama &amp; Papa”&nbsp; A cosmical, spiritual - folk work.&nbsp;A “return to voice”.&nbsp; “Folk Songs For Mama &amp; Papa is a big record stitched together from small moments of wonder and joy.” - “A gorgeously fragile deep dive into the furthest realms of outsider pop - she sounds like a soprano serenading the end of the world” - Hotpress Magazine “It is lamenting, folk-induced, genre bending. Tender and soulful. It is a testament to what grows from eliminating excess noise, stripping songwriting back to the soulful springs of piano and voice” - The Goo

Celtic Connections: Sam Grassie

The duo of Scottish folk musician Alasdair Roberts and Norwegian experimental musician Fredrik Rasten fuses their respective work with traditional music, folk song and microtonal minimalism. Their first encounter was in the septet Alasdair Roberts &amp;amp; Völvur, which released the LP The Old Fabled River on Drag City Records in 2021.The record combined Roberts’s compositions with versions of Scottish and Norwegian traditional songs. On Seven Weathers, their forthcoming double album for Drag City Records, Roberts and Rasten focus on traditional Scottish narrative ballads, typically of long duration, where slowly evolving musical materials build up throughout the strophic verse-structure to emphasise the storytelling. They choose ballads with care, favouring time-transcending narrative themes that both bear witness to the day and age of their origin and are relevant to our times, be thatpolitically, culturally or ethically. Both sing and play a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments, Roberts’s clear and unadorned vocal delivery blending with Rasten’s sensibilities of just intonation tuning and timbral qualities of sound.
