Thomas Truax
Merging a fevered imagination and solid songwriting with a mad scientist's brain for weird gadgets, American singer Thomas Truax is a true one-off.
He is known for his menagerie of unique self-made instruments including a motorized drum machine made of bike wheels, spoons and other found items called 'Mother Superior' and a souped up Gramophone called 'The Hornicator’
But don’t let the novelty fool you. He is also a talented guitar player, storyteller, and performer who crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, love, the human condition, and a lifelong obsession with things lunar. His music evades easy pigeonholing as his songs flit between art rock, post-punk, and a distinctive brand of surreal Americana.
His ten studio LPs include highly-rated covers album 'Songs From The Films Of David Lynch'.
Though he usually performs solo, other notable past supporters and collaborators have included Jarvis Cocker, Duke Special, James Smith of Yard Act, Richard Hawley, Bob Log III, Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls/Violent Femmes) and the late author Terry Pratchett.
"Truax is shaping up nicely as one of the great rock eccentrics.” -UNCUT
"Endlessly inventive and creative…A show not to be missed!” -Oxford Times
Bryony Williams
Since emerging onto the UK indie scene with her debut EP 'Wanderlust' in 2016, singer-songwriter, Bryony Williams has been writing, performing and self-releasing her music ever since.
With Wanderlust acting as just a starter, Bryony officially launches her music career with her second EP, 'Conscious'. Whilst also a student at this time, she collaborated with her fellow creative classmates to produce music videos for her tracks 'Narrative Form', 'Whirlpool' and 'Silhouette'.
Her single, 'Honey' received a rave review in Record of the Day and her EP was nominated for 'Best Record' by the Birmingham Music Awards in 2019. Bryony's local BBC Introducing station named her 'Artist to Watch' and selected her song, 'Little Tree' as their Track of the Month, as well as being playlisted on 6 Music's Tom Robinson's Mixtape and Amazing Radio shows by Shell Zenner and Charlie Ashcroft.
