For June's Sunday Sounds, we're very excited to welcome Tai Shan & Erika Olson:
TAI SHAN: Combining the vintage soul of “Bonnie Raitt with the lyrical poignancy of Joni Mitchell,” Nashville-based, award-winning songwriter Tai Shan’s seventh studio album Wildfire Moon (August 2024) has been hailed by LA Weekly as “simply stunning.” Known for her magnetic live performances, Tai has toured extensively across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, sharing her breezy, road-trippin’ tunes described as “infectious and impossible to sit still to.” She has performed for audiences as varied as Pope John Paul II and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and graced iconic stages including Nashville’s Bluebird Café. A critic’s darling and a songwriter’s songwriter, she is a two-time Kerrville New Folk Finalist and the recipient of the grand prize from both the Rocky Mountain Songwriting Festival and the John Cirillo Scholarship Fund.

ERIKA OLSON: Heralded by Americana Highway as “a modern-day troubadour” Erika brings her unique blend of folk, pop and Americana to life with endearing artistry and a powerful live
connection. Her debut album, This Is How I Pray (May 2023), earned Erika recognition as a finalist in Holler's inaugural songwriting competition, secured her a coveted spot in the much-beloved Purbeck Rising Competition, and performed at festivals and venues across the UK, including the Black Deer Festival, The Green Note, Local and Live, Hastings Fat Tuesday, Elderflower Fields, Wick St and Banbury Canal Festival and beyond.

Hosted by Tom Cole:
"Steeped in the traditions of American folk, country, gospel and blues, Tom's is an Americana style of Alt Country meets Greenwich Village Folk Revival.
Hailing from Hastings on the South Coast of England, Tom crafts heartfelt songs from everyday life, with a softly understated vocal style underpinned by a mix of Merle Travis style fingerpicking and country flatpicking.
Tom's new album 'Stops on the Way to Here' was released 22nd March 2024. Previous EPs 'The Road Less Travelled' and 'Ramblin' Man' are also available at tomcolemusic.co.uk and on streaming services."
