SUMMARY:Music: Rose's Pawn Shop
DESCRIPTION:American roots music from Southern California live in Bristol \nRose’s Pawn Shop are a 5-piece band with acoustic\, folkie Americana roots and a rock n’ roll vibe. \nFor two decades\, they have evolved their version of modern-day American roots music. It’s an anthemic sound that’s taken the group from their hometown of Los Angeles — where frontman Paul Givant formed the band as a bluegrass-inspired act\, making room for punky tempos and fiddle solos — to venues across the country\, where their sound grew to encompass the sweep of rock & roll\, the sonics of folk music\, and the storytelling of country. \n“Our music is a patchwork of American styles\,” Givant says. “We have country\, rock\, bluegrass\, and folk — all sorts of American musical influences\, and they all go into the Rose’s Pawn Shop sound. \n““American Seams” is a masterclass in resilient roots music. It is a song for the seekers\, the travelers\, and anyone trying to navigate the complexities of modern life without losing their connection to the past.” – Country Music News International \n  \nLearn more about Rose’s Pawn Shop here: Rose’s Pawn Shop  \n  \n\n  \n\nExclusive offer for all Hen & Chicken event ticket holders – July 2026.\n\n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.

SUMMARY:Sophie Moore
DESCRIPTION:UK-based singer-songwriter Sophie Moore has recently made her welcome return to the music scene\, bringing with her a unique brand of alternative country\, brought to life with former members of Nashville-based Lambchop. \n“What a breath of fresh air. You continue to give voice to simple truths. It’s got so much heart\,” former Lambchop pianist Tony Crow shares. \nDuring her musical journey\, in the 1980s\, Sophie Moore toured internationally as part of the London indie group Foggy Cry. She went on to support the likes of Labi Siffre during her solo career whilst also collaborating on a range of other artist’s projects including releasing tracks on Okra Records in the USA in the early 1990s with Jeb Loy Nichols. \nCapturing her sound in the studio\, her well-received single “Closer Than” presented the first taste of her upcoming album Trouble In Mind. Now\, with intimate live shows\, she’s offering a rare opportunity to hear the new material performed live with musicians from the US recording sessions. \nJoined by Houston bassist Mark Riddell and from Nashville\, Tony Crow\, these world class musicians form a transatlantic ensemble that’s set to perform a limited number of  UK  tour dates in June 2026. \nPraise for her first single: \n“A stellar showcase of Sophie Moore’s songwriting talent and performance panache.”\n— Plastic Magazine \n“Closer Than” embodies that powerful message alongside a stirringly melodic production and consuming vocal presence.”\n— Obscure Sound

SUMMARY:Music: Furlined
DESCRIPTION:Alt-country 5-piece band\, Furlined\, fronted by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley\, brings their unique sound to CRH Music @ the Chicken Shed. \nInfectious hooks\, rich vocals and lush\, swooning cello are the defining features of Furlined\, a Bristol-based band formed in 2012 by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley and cellist Tegan Everett. The band’s sound spans alt country and wry English chamber pop – “Morrissey meets Americana” as one review put it –  and they have been likened to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds\, Richard Hawley and Orange Juice.\nFurlined have attracted acclaim in publications such as Mojo\, Clash Magazine\, RnR and Billboard. “Songwriter Neil Crossley has one of those winning\, strong yet gentle Jackie Leven / Richard Hawley baritones that do male vulnerability beautifully\,” concluded Mojo in a 4/5 review of the band’s second album Win A Dream Wedding. “Furlined’s other striking sound is Tegan Everett’s cello\, which intros most of Crossley’s dark-honey melodies… A band with distinct aural charms.” \n“Morrissey meets Americana – superb songs with an irresistible English wit.” Total Guitar 9/10 \n  \nFurlined will be performing in our event space\, The Chicken Shed\, with their first set starting at 9pm

SUMMARY:Music: Peter Case\, with Sid Griffin.
DESCRIPTION:An evening with American song writing legends\, Peter Case and Sid Griffin. \nPeter Case is a three time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter from the USA who has a most impressive resume. He was the founder of the Nerves\, the very first American indie band to put together a nationwide tour and one of the very first to release their own indie EP. He then was the founder and leader of the legendary Plimsouls\, an incredibly influential L.A. rock and roll band which drew praise from everyone from Elvis Costello to Tom Petty to critics nationwide. \nFor the past thirty-some years Peter Case has been a solo troubadour in the great tradition of Dylan\, Guthrie\, and Pete Seeger. Early on he was produced by T-Bone Burnett and he’s played with and been championed by Roger McGuinn\, Van Dyke Parks\, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers and many more. His latest album is The Midnight Broadcast and it just might be his very best album. \nSid Griffin is best known by his leadership of the Long Ryders\, the founding fathers of alt-country and Americana. He is also the proud artist behind four well-received solo albums\, was the leader of the wonderful ‘alt-bluegrass’ UK band\, The Coal Porters\, he was the Resident Musicologist on BBC 6 Music’s Radcliffe & Maconie radio show for over a decade and Sid has written four books. Sid’s most recent book\, Million Dollar Bash: Bob Dylan\, The Band\, and the Basement Tapes\, has been reissued twice and Sid did the liner notes for that collection of legendary Dylan tracks.

SUMMARY:Music: Lilly Hiatt
DESCRIPTION:The search for answers—where she’s been\, who she’s become\, what it all means—lies at the heart of Hiatt’s striking new album\, Forever. Written and recorded in Hiatt’s new home just outside Nashville\, the collection grapples with growth and change\, escape and anxiety\, self-loathing and self-love. \nThe songs are intensely vulnerable here\, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations\, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in Hiatt’s unflinching emotional excavations\, to see your own humanity reflected back in her pursuit of something larger than herself. Hiatt cut the album with her husband\, Coley Hinson\, who produced and played most of the instruments on the record\, and the result is a raw\, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity\, a bold\, guitar-driven\, at times psychedelic exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone\, no matter how lost you may feel. \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Music: St Catherine's Child
DESCRIPTION:ST CATHERINE’S CHILD:  “Softly stunning\, mesmerising country-tinged indie” Holler \nTransatlantic singer-songwriter Ilana Zsigmond AKA St Catherine’s Child is one of the rising stars of the Indie-Folk/Americana scene. She was invited into the Recording Academy as one of their ‘Class of 2024”. \nHaving signed to TRO Essex Music and Shamus Records in New York in late 2024\, her debut album is This Might Affect You. The album’s songs tell the deeply personal and chronological story of enduring and recovering from the illness and death of her father. The A side chronicles the time leading up to his death\, and the B side explores the aftermath of his passing and how she processed it. \nZsigmond decided to reach out to others who also had recently experienced loss and ask them to collaborate\, and as a result\, 10 of the 12 songs on the album are co-written with other songwriters. The songs on the album defy traditional genre classification and range from gun ballad to sea shanty to punk and beyond. The album’s title\, This Might Affect You\, is a reference to a construction planning notice Zsigmond saw during her father’s illness that encapsulated everything she was experiencing and processing\, and how it affected her and everyone around her. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Music: The Alan Fletcher Band - Back To School Album Tour
DESCRIPTION:Alan Fletcher is a household name in the UK because of his portrayal of Dr Karl Kennedy in the popular Australian drama Neighbours. Thousands of people also know Alan’s work as a successful musician\, first as a Rock artist with his band Waiting Room and lately as a fine Americana and Alt/Country singer-songwriter. \nIn 2024 Alan and his five-piece band promoted his album The Point on a sold-out 22 date UK tour \nIn 2025 Alan and the band return to the UK for a 32-date tour promoting his upcoming album Back to School. \nAlan’s songs are a blend of humour (For the Love of Lager\, How Good is Bed\, I’ve Got a Crush on Susie K) and poignant reflections on love and life (Hey You\, The Point\, Back to School) \nDon’t miss the opportunity to enjoy Alan’s songs and meet a TV legend up close and personal. \nWhat they say about Alan’s gigs. \nEngaging\, delightful\, wistful and original\, The Point is classically crafted whilst contemporarily composed. It’s an album that covers a wide spectrum of emotions\, that shakes and stirs with infectious honesty. – The Manc Review (mancreview.com)\nOverall\, Alan Fletcher delivered a show that surprised in the best possible way. He had a fantastic vocal quality throughout as well as some solid guitar playing\, but what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It’s safe to say he’s going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from ‘Neighbours’.\nEntertainment-focus.com – Laura Cooney \nAlthough the essence of the show is the great Americana of Alan’s songs and delivery\, Jen added some lovely\, polished vocals and the whole band was exceptional … it is always great to see such a high-quality band having such a ball on stage … and the audience rightly loving every second. Five hugely talented musicians and singers delivering a truly outstanding set of Americana … up there with the finest gigs ever … loved every second … richly entertaining show … doesn’t get much better!! \nRich Wakefield Leicester Musician review 2024 \n

SUMMARY:Music: Juliet Lloyd
DESCRIPTION:There’s an unmistakable urgency you can feel when a song is written and performed from a place of complete honesty. That feeling permeates singer-songwriter Juliet Lloyd’s new album\, Carnival. \nJuliet will be performing live in our intimate music space The Studio. \nJuliet Lloyd is an acclaimed singer/songwriter who splits her time between the DC region and Nashville and has garnered comparisons to Patty Griffin\, Grace Potter\, Carole King\, and Chris Stapleton for her signature blend of soulful\, roots-infused folk/pop. Across her 20-year career as a writer and artist\, Juliet has released four studio albums\, garnering placements on television shows on MTV and VH1 and airplay on more than 175 radio stations across the country. Her 2024 full-length album Carnival has been hailed by reviewers for its “evocative storytelling and raw honesty” and “beautiful imagery…a truly dynamic album.” It features nine brand new songs that “transcend genre\, moving between indie pop\, folk\, soul\, and rock as effortlessly as Lloyd glides across the notes of her vocal runs.” Juliet’s songwriting and performance chops have earned her top honors in the 2022 Bernard/Ebb Songwriting Awards and Mid-Atlantic Song Contest\, four “Wammie” finalist nods\, and multiple prestigious national songwriter awards across the past several years.

SUMMARY:Music: The Pine Hill Haints
DESCRIPTION:Alabama Ghost Country Music\nAlabama’s favourite haunted artists The Pine Hill Haints return with their latest long player\, Shattered Pieces Of The True Cross\, on Single Lock Records\, available in stores physical and digital on May 30.\nThe collection of southern psychedelic tunes were recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound on Jackson Highway\, captured and mixed by Ben Tanner\, Grammy-winning producer/engineer and Single Lock co-founder. \nThe Haints have long represented a 21st century chapter in the Muscle Shoals music legacy\, applying a DIY ethos to folk and blues traditions. Not unlike their Swamper forebears in the same studio\, the Haints transcend their myriad influences to sculpt a sound of their own.\nThe album bears their signature sonic palette – washtub bass\, snare drum (no bass drums allowed!)\, washboard\, and the occasional singing saw – and combination of styles: Scotch Irish traditional music via Appalachia (“Ki Yi Woopi Ti Yay” and “Henry My Son”\, classic country (“Honky Tonk and Dance With You”) and punk rock (“Svenghoolia”)\, plus a fresh take on the Grateful Dead song “Loser”. \n  \nHave a listen here \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Music: Abigail Lapell / Steph Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Abigail Lapell\nToronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary\, an evocative collection of original love songs. The album balances upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads\, ultimately emerging as an earnest celebration of commitment. Anniversary was recorded at 200-year-old St. Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake\, Ontario\, co-produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker\, who helped shape the project’s spooky\, resonant sound while lending his voice to a few spellbinding duets. \n  \n \nSteph Cameron\nSPILL MAGAZINE “Steph Cameron made waves with her debut record Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady (2014)\, an effort that garnered its fair share of acclaim and rave reviews. Her sophomore release\, Daybreak Over Jackson Street shares the same heartfelt spirit and intimacy that drew listeners in the first time around. After a great deal of touring and writing\, the roots singer returns with tracks that reflect a confident songstress with maturity\, experience and an empathetic eye.” \nFOLK RADIO UK “It’s not unusual for artists plying an Americana trade to be likened to such names as Townes Van Zandt\, John Prine and Bob Dylan\, but the artists in question are usually men. It’s rare for a female singer to attract such comparisons. Vancouver’s Steph Cameron is both an exception and exceptional \n

SUMMARY:Music: The Deep Dark Woods (solo)
DESCRIPTION:One might be tempted to think of the Deep Dark Woods as a band steeped in capital-T tradition\, and that may be true\, but now nearly two decades into their life as one of Canada’s finest folk-roots ensembles\, that tradition is one of their own invention. The voice of founding member Ryan Boldt sits at the forefront of the band\, and it doesn’t take long to reveal that he is a master of subtlety and shading\, working in the lineage of iconic singers like Bob Dylan\, Bert Jansch\, Rick Danko\, and Jason Molina. Boldt\, a relentless lifelong listener of music\, says “It’s all I do. When I’m not playing music\, I’m listening to it\, trying to find songs that make me feel an aching pain in my chest.” Accordingly\, his singing is full of highly emotive nuance and an elegant\, relaxed precision that makes it seem downright effortless\, a perfect vehicle for the band’s particular brand of updated folk music. Fellow travellers like keyboard whiz Geoff Hilhorst\, veteran drummer Mike Silverman\, and Evan Cheadle round out the Deep Dark Woods unit\, and they are often assisted by like-minded collaborators such as singer-songwriter Ellen Froese\, Erik Nielsen\, Leon Power\, and the acclaimed duo Kacy & Clayton. This crew creates a powerful combination and has amassed a pile of celebrated albums\, EPs\, and a host of nominations from music awards outfits from across the country. Together they recall classic units like The Band\, mid-period Wilco\, and American Beauty-era Grateful Dead\, but also legendary late ’60s UK groups like Fairport Convention\, Pentangle\, and Steeleye Span. \nWhich brings us to the Deep Dark Woods’ latest album\, Broadside Ballads\, Vol.III. Intertwined amongst their albums of original material\, Deep Dark Woods has been steadily building up a series of releases called Broadside Ballads\, focusing on traditional Irish\, English\, and Scottish folk songs. It’s a fitting tribute to the music that influenced Boldt’s writing and singing since first forming the band\, and like their forebears\, Deep Dark Woods aims to take their own experiences of traditional music and create something new and vital. The songs in this collection mine some of the more brutal depths of human experience\, touching on broken hearts\, love\, murder\, and the act of leaving. Boldt notes that “there are not too many jolly songs in there”\, but the album is not a dour affair\, instead benefiting from tasteful\, unstated arrangements and an organic\, no-frills recording sound. The songs on Vol.III generously display The Deep Dark Woods’ deep-seated links to the past while still sounding just like themselves. \nA brand new album of original music recorded by David Parry (Loving\, Alice Phoebe Lou) will be released on Victory Pool throughout 2025 complimented by tours of the UK\, Canada\, and Europe. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Music: Sam Outlaw Plus Special Guest\, Hannah Aldridge.
DESCRIPTION:After a wonderful show in The Studio in March 2022\, Sam Outlaw returns Bristol with his new album Terra Cotta \nSam Outlaw is a southern Californian based singer-songwriter steeped in the music and mythos of west coast country\, absorbing the classic vibes of everything from ’60s Bakersfield honky-tonk to ’70s Laurel Canyon troubadour pop and refashioning them into a sound that’s pleasurably past\, present and future tense. \n  \nSpecial guest Hannah Aldridge. \nHannah Aldridge grew up on the muddy banks of Muscle Shoals—her birthright is music and Alabama. A reckoning between her coming-of-age in the South and a lifetime of trying to create an identity outside of it\, her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. These two themes weave through Aldridge’s gifted storytelling\, making for records that soothe like a lullaby and crack like a whip. For those raised in the Bible Belt\, Aldridge’s music sounds like the voice of an old friend who understands. For those not in the know\, her music is an initiation to the dark side of the South\, Christian fundamentalism and the struggle to forge a future in a place haunted by its past. \n  \nSam & Hannah will be joined on stage by the wonderful Demi Marriner.
