Nick Gusman and Bity Booker

Rooted in the soul of the Midwest and shaped by the pulse of the river city, Nick Gusman doesn’t just write songs — he tells stories that stick. With a voice that’s weathered but warm, and lyrics that hit like truth from an old friend, Gusman channels the spirit of Americana without falling into imitation. His songs balance grit and grace — odes to lost jobs, long nights, open roads, and the people who make it all worth singing about.

From small-town bars to festival stages, his live shows are electric in their honesty, built on raw musicianship and a deep connection with the crowd. Whether backed by a full band or standing solo with a guitar and a harmonica, Gusman makes the moment count.

Influenced by the likes of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, and Jason Isbell, but never chained to them, Gusman carves his own lane — one that’s as unpredictable and alive as the Mississippi itself. He’s not chasing trends; he’s writing the songs that outlast them.

With new music on the way and miles of tour dates ahead, Nick Gusman is not just a name to watch — he’s an artist to follow.

A London-based folk artist with roots in Italy and Australia, Bity Booker doesn’t just perform songs — she casts them. Armed with classical guitar, a voice that sounds like it stepped out of a myth, and lyrics full of animals, dreams, ghosts, and forest whispers, Bity crafts a world that’s both familiar and entirely her own.

With influences ranging from Vashti Bunyan and Malvina Reynolds to Buffy Sainte-Marie and The Incredible String Band, her music blends traditional folk storytelling with a psychedelic edge. Think antique lullabies sung in a forgotten language — yet somehow, it all feels deeply personal and present.

Bity is also a visual artist, and her shows reflect that: intimate, otherworldly, and full of charm. Expect hand-illustrated merch, possibly a bird puppet or two, and a set that will leave you thinking you just walked out of a storybook.

She’s touring behind her latest release The Frog, The Mouse, The Ship, The Cabin Boy — a stripped-back, cassette-recorded EP that highlights her ability to rework traditional folk material into something spellbinding and strange.

Come early, stay curious, and prepare to be gently haunted.
