The year of 2019 saw Jess make her festival debut at award-winning Buckle & Boots, opening for Nashville's Kelsey Waldon, Jade Helliwell and Jess and the Bandits, as well as release her single The Old Me, heavily supported by radio DJ Baylen Leonard, Chris Country, Paul Sexton, Brad Paisley, BBC Introducing, Matt Spracklen and Spotify editorial playlists.

Nathan O'Reagan
BIO
Nathan O’Regan has a mastery over his voice that his peers surely envy. Slipping gracefully between gritty impassioned pleas and sweet longing melodies, Nathan pairs his beautiful singing with delicate, refined songwriting. A natural raconteur, his songs are full of melancholy and hopefulness that have captivated audiences all around Ireland. Like any artist worth their salt, Nathan has faced his own challenges. His voice and writing were spotted by Universal, who signed him at sixteen, recognising even at a young age Nathan's ability to write songs that would stop a listener in their tracks. He was paired with producer, Jimmy Hogarth and tasked to record an album. Halfway through the project, as is
often the case, contact from the label grew cold and the work never saw the light of day. Universal’s mistake proved to be Ireland’s gain. Some artists capitulate after being dropped by a major label, but Nathan has gone from strength to strength, his talent impossible to ignore by anyone who has heard his songs or witnessed him lead his band like it was the last gig on Earth. A truly special talent.

Andy Hewitt
Music has always been my escape, a voyage away from reality into a world where everything is perfect. Whether that was growing up to the sounds of Oasis or using my own music and song writing as a way to cope with the problems that life throws at us all.
As a man I always find it incredibly difficult to talk about mental health and what truly is on my mind, however song writing sets me free. Subjects I can’t talk about I can write a song about, share my struggles and find a clearer path.
Following life changing events over the last few years I decided to release my music in the hope that sharing my struggles would help others who felt lost in their own journey.
