CROW HALL – Making their She17 debut at #Shefest are blue grass trio Crow Hall who blend cello, uke and banjo (and cocktails whilst rehearsing)! The three met via a combination of playing with Walthamstow Acoustic Massive and a Twitter appeal for a Cellist.
They will be supporting SULK in E17 too (see below). We’ll let them explain their name on the night!
LADY PRESIDENT – are an E17 based three piece who were formed just after last year’s Shefest.
SAM KURT – A passionate acoustic artist who’s original sound is a blend of indie-folk with hints of country, Sam lives in Loughton and gigs regularly in E17 and surrounding areas, both solo and as part of the newly formed duo SmithSound. Sam is the only musician to play at all main She17 events to date, which she describes as ” a Hub of positivity that embraces performers and captures audiences alike. Have to say – Hats off and thank you Kim , Angie and Ruby!”
SILVI – With a sound that’s one part alt-country, one part folk, and two parts americana rock, it doesn’t matter what you call it as long as you like it. silvi’s songs are a mix of real life and fiction. She has a voice that is sultry and emotional and accompanies it with some simple but melodic rhythm guitar. She is currently working on her first solo album.
