Diana Jones
Diana Jones’ music is informed by the themes that have run through her life - love, loss, and redemption – and is crystallised perfectly on her most recent album, My Remembrance Of You.
"Jones is on the verge of a critical breakthrough. Increasingly compared to the likes of Iris DeMent and Gillian Welch, Jones just might be the best American songwriter most people have never heard of." Chicago Tribune

The Midnight Ramblers
Virginia’s Midnight Ramblers are one of the most exciting young bands to appear on the US bluegrass scene in recent years. Combining instrumental virtuosity on bass, mandolin, guitar and banjo, wonderful harmony vocals and a stage presence that belies their teenage years, their performance is certain to be one of the highlights of this year’s Southern Fried.

The Felsons
Not only are The Felsons Scotland’s finest ever country rock band but they stand head and shoulders above many of their US counterparts too. So we’re naturally delighted that the band are reforming for their first gig in a very long time for this year’s Southern Fried.
United by a collective devotion to American roots music - from Hank Williams to Gram Parsons, early Elvis to Wilco, blues to bluegrass – The Felsons have a distinctively widescreen vision of Americana. Add in a songwriter of Dean Owens’ rare gifts, and you have a band with few equals anywhere.
