Friday - Mashville

MASHVILLE is a Folk, Roots & Americana band based in Kent, UK originally founded in 2012 by Berin Riley and Graham Loft, who have been the band’s songwriters through two albums to date. Riley & Loft are strongly influenced by American alt-country and roots music, (although the band's name was actually inspired by an Alabama 3 track!) and their music is inspired by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ryan Adams, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash and Wilco. The band has a unique sound - described by reviewers as bringing to mind hints of Al Stewart, The Blue Nile, Steely Dan and Dire Straits yet managing to create a completely recognisable style and sound.
"every song contains beautifully written and often quite riveting stories that range through the various aspects of love and life but in a variety of incredibly diverse circumstances and locations". Americana Roots UK

Tori Reed

Tori and her band of Troubadours mix a quirky blend of genres to give something that is utterly unique, genuine and heartfelt.  Tori's music goes from finger picking folk, through to jazz influenced beats, a dusting of country and vocals that could be soul.  It's music that will touch hearts, get toes tapping and leave you wanting more.
