Headline Act: Shep!

Shep! is a cowboy sent from an alternative universe to explain the meaning of life. He found the only way to do this effectively was in the form of music – specifically Country BlueGrass Blues.

If you wanna singalong and win a prize here are some choruses:

Snakebite Street, Snakebite Street, snakes walk ‘round on legs and feet
Snakebite Street, Snakebite Street, don’t get bit by the people that you meet

From year to year, from day to day; from dawn to dark, from birth to grave
We are always, we are Always Heading Home

Come along, everybody come along, while the moon is shinin’ bright
Get on board, everybody get on board, we’re gonna Raise a Ruckus tonight

Everybody loves a Rockin’ Man so rock like a man!
Run to the river, as fast as you can, the river is a friend to the running man

Down the River to the Sea, down the river to the sea
Time will carry you and me, down the river to the sea

Make sure you check out the new website for the live footage being filmed tonight at the Grey lady at www.shepmusic.com

Jennifer Lee Ridley

Emotive songstress, Jennifer Lee Ridley passionately uses influences of a Romantic folk nature to create poignant and touching music. She has studied in depth the poetic nature of song and has a strong affinity with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Keats and William Blake. More recently she has combined these influences with her own song-writing to create more modern fusions whilst carefully retaining the purity of the lyrical content. Her dark warm vocals combined with her individual folk sound mirrors the poetic lyrics which explore the many facets of emotions.

This has had a profound effect on her own songs which she continues to develop and enhance through working with other composers, musicians and writers locally and in London. She feels strongly that collaborating is an important part of growing and building an understanding of the nature and the impact of poetry and prose on music.

She is currently working on and arranging an album which she is hopes to bring out in 2014.

Caleb Howard-Almond

Caleb is a singer-songwriter who cut his guitar strings on the mean streets of rural Kent, and now plays them out on the hilly streets of Brighton.

He spent many great years playing along side some brilliantly talented musicians and friends in a band called D-FiNiTiVE. 

And after going their separate ways, Caleb decided to try his hand at some solo work. Having built up a good collection of songs, he has been dazzling audiences up and down the the South East for a good few years now. With influences ranging from Coldplay to Nile Rodgers and many in-between, a real love of the 'Brit-Pop' scene and many old soul and funk records thrown in for good measure!

Occasionally Caleb is joined on stage by some friendly old faces of former bands, mixing in a few old "HITS" and new tracks to keep things interesting!
