Annie Dressner

Annie Dressner is a singer-songwriter, originally from New York City but now living in Cambridge, UK. Brimming with razor sharp wit, emotional poignancy and glorious melodies, Annie’s straightforward lyrical style, smart wordplay and lilting vocals offer listeners a front row seat to her captivating stories.

Annie has released four studio albums and her music has been played extensively across UK national radio, including recording a live session for Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music. Last year's single “For The Thrill Of It” features Kathryn Williams and is a scathing commentary about sexual harassment within the music industry.

We Mavericks at The Canopy Theatre

Hungate Church,  Beccles – Saturday 10th October  7.30 p.m.

We Mavericks Jojo Schwitzkowski 2B sml

“… the glorious harmonies and touching melodies of We Mavericks craft exquisite folk music, evoking spirits originating from Appalachia to Alba”- Ambient Light, New Zealand 

Originally coming together for just a handful of performances in 2018, the reaction that Lindsay Martin and Victoria Vigenser received from audiences made it obvious that they needed to continue playing together.

Their folk/Americana collaboration has been making a bold mark on both sides of the Tasman after only a few years performing - a steep and fast rise to Australasian festivals and shows that has seen the duo selected as a showcase artist for Folk Alliance International. They have twice been nominated as  “Best Folk Artist” in the New Zealand Music Awards, three times nominated “Best Contemporary Duo/Group/Ensemble” in the Australian Folk Music Awards and are recipients of Australia’s Troubadour Foundation Award.

Dan Webster & Emily Lawler at The Canopy Theatre

DAN WEBSTER & EMILY LAWLER Canopy Theatre Hungate Church, Beccles  Saturday 26th September

Webster Lawler

Where folk fuses with country - as good as you'll hear on any record out of Austin or Nashville... 9/10."  - Americana UK

Dan Webster and Emily Lawler deliver a compelling transatlantic blend of Americana, country, folk, and roots. Hailing from York the duo has won over audiences across the UK and Australia with their captivating live performances and finely crafted songs.

Dan Webster has been described as one of the U.K’s best kept musical secrets and one not to miss! He is a road-seasoned English singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose music is influenced by the sounds and storytelling traditions of Americana, which he uniquely melds with an honest Northern English perspective in his songwriting.

Though his sound is unashamedly influenced by the US, his heart remains a Yorkshireman’s with songs weaving tales of family, fishing and life’s emotional undercurrents that echo with the spirit of bluegrass, country and English folk.

“Webster proves to be a master story teller and fine entertainer”  - County Music Magazine ****

“Achingly lovely, like sun breaking on a rain swept highway…” - RnR

‘An insightful lyricist with a great voice’  - Acoustic Magazine

At his side, Emily Lawler brings extraordinary fiddle work shaped by Celtic, country and folk influences, along with soaring harmonies that add richness and depth to the duo's sound. She started playing the guitar and writing songs during lockdown and is now gigging as a singer-songwriter around the UK - an exciting emerging talent.

Together Dan and Emily bring to the stage an energising combination of distinctive warm and powerful vocals and guitar interlaced with a dexterous meld of celtic- and country- style fiddling and beautiful harmonies and they have become favourites on the UK festival scene, playing major sets at Green Man, Shambala, Kendal Calling, and Maverick Festival.
