STEVE STRONG
Steve Strong is a one man arsenal of beats, tapped guitar and lush, textural melodies. His music is as witheld as it is grandiose, as skeletal as it is layered, equal parts shimmering and pulsing. It glimmers, swings and explodes in all the right places, sliding gracefully from one section to another, played as tightly as it is loose and free. Steve’s ability to bridge the gap between technical ability and captivation is completely instinctual, tattoed onto his musical concious like the art on his body. His music seems to encompass many different styles without feeling contrived or forced, every strand of inspiration in steve’s music is carefully placed and melted. This music will not be held down!

ALEX TAYLOR
“A genius with a loop pedal… and his voice is stunning” – Metro
Bristol based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumental loop pedal artist.
Already compared by reviewers to the likes of Bill Withers, John Martyn and Jeff Buckley, Alex Taylor is one of the shining lights of the acoustic scene and a troubadour of world-class standing.
His “Dynamic solo shows” are filled with energetic beats and intense and passionate vocal delivery, paired with dextrous and original acoustic guitar playing “using pedals and loops to create a wall of sound” – Maverick Magazine ****
Drawing on varied influences from a wide musical spectrum, Alex’s unique style splices elements of soul, nu-folk and electronica to place his shape‐shifting voice firmly in the spotlight.
A festival favourite, Alex recently headlined the BBC stage at Bristol’s Harbour Festival, and has played many other stages including Cambridge Folk Festival and Cheltenham Jazz Festival.
Touring extensively, Alex has notched up hundreds of gigs, sharing stages with such luminaries as Jack Savoretti, Roachford and Michael Kiwanuka.
His critically acclaimed debut album features performances from members of
The Invisible, Newton Faulkner’s band, Portishead and Massive Attack.
With festivals and tour dates in the pipeline, and a brand new studio album set for release later this year, 2018 is looking good for Alex Taylor.
