Mary Gauthier Louisiana native Mary Gauthier (pronounced Go-Shay) has lived a colourful life that is reflected in her gritty, honest and compassionate songs. Over the course of five brilliant albums, she has received unprecedented praise and earned deserving comparisons with Steve Earle, John Prine and Lucinda Williams. “Live, she is mesmerising. Her songs are a strange mix of half-spoken, half-sung talking blues: clever, often laugh-out-loud tales of addicts, victims and losers, of cheap motels and failed love affairs.” The Times www.marygauthier.com Jason Ringenberg As frontman of cowpunk pioneers Jason and the Scorchers, Jason Ringenberg helped lay the foundations for today’s alt.country and Americana scene and established them as one of the 80s greatest rock bands. Now an acclaimed solo artist, his shows are high-energy emotional rollercoasters. "one of the most dynamic performers of his generation." The Times www.jasonringenberg.com Rancho Rebop and the Full Moon Howlers Featuring some of Perthshire’s finest players, Rancho Rebop and the Full Moon Howlers perform bluegrass, Americana and western swing material in the vein of artists like Bob Wills, Asleep At The Wheel, Peter Rowan and John Prine. The diverse musical backgrounds of the band’s members imparts a unique flavour with touches of blues, soul, country, jazz and Scottish traditional sounds.
