JESS SILKJess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her passionate and
melodic brand of folk/punk music gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar, lyrics right from the heart and a distinctive, powerful voice that many don't expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK and has shared stages with many well known names among the folk/punk scene.
Jess released her debut album, Break the Bottle, in May 2018 with a packed out show at
her spiritual home of Katie Fitzgerald's in Sturbridge. 2020 saw the world shut down and Jess release two (almost completely) self produced EPs, the first of which, If We're Damned, was put together from songs that had been gathering metaphorical dust on her hard drive, and the second, There's A Bar At the End Of the World, a collection of songs written between March and August taking their inspiration from the events of the year. At the end of August 2021 Jess released her second full-length album Blitz Spirit, and in April 2025 she released her new EP Old, Broken Isle which was recorded at Metway Studios in Brighton.
In recent years Jess has appeared at a number of festivals including Bearded Theory, Rebellion, Beautiful Days, Shrewsbury Folk Festival and Glastonbury where she shared a stage with Billy Bragg as part of his Radical Roundup on the Left Field stage. She has opened for the likes of the Levellers, New Model Army, Bar Stool Preachers, The Men They Couldn't Hang and Merry Hell amongst others and she continues to tour around the UK playing festivals, supports and her own headline tours.
THE ACOUSTIC SKRAELINGS
The Skraelings Acoustic are an Essex born and bred duo, a stripped down version of the full band (album out soon). The acoustic set was developed during the dark days of the lockdowns, and then went from their debuting at private parties, to expanding out towards venues and the festival scene. Acoustic, yes, loud and in your face, also yes.
