One of the mainstays on the London singer-songwriter and folk & roots scene, Dan Raza has been praised by Chris Farlowe, Slaid Cleaves, Mary Gauthier and Jackie Oates and has had one of his songs included by Neil Young on his ‘Living With War’ website. Across his career he has opened for Joan Armatrading, Badly Drawn Boy, Alejandro Escovedo, Cara Dillon and The Sadies, amongst others. Dan’s eponymous debut album was produced by Charlie Hart (Ronnie Lane, Ian Dury, Eric Clapton, Mose Allison). The self-produced follow up, ‘Two’, was released in 2017 and features his band, The Shrouds, as well as appearances from Geraint Watkins (Van Morrison, Paul McCartney), BJ Cole (Dolly Parton, Martin Simpson), Steve Simpson (Eric Bibb, Ronnie Lane), Frank Mead (Albert King, Eric Clapton) and Mosi Conde (Mory Kante, Salif Keita).

Born and raised in the countryside of north-western Italy, fuelled by dreams of rock’n’roll, Trent Miller made his way to London as a youth, joining the just-blooming Americana circuit. Carrying with him the dual influence of the Beats and darkly troubled songwriters like Gene Clark, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Thin White Rope’s Guy Kyser, he made his recorded debut on the album Hidden Desert, a tribute to the latter much missed Northern Californians. A veteran of four highly regarded folk-noir albums, over the years his band has featured Paul Cuddeford (Ian Hunter, Cat Stevens), Graham Knight (Simple Kid), Ben Walker (Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker), Paul Lush (Danny & The Champions of The World) and Basia Bartz (Dana Immanuel & The Stolen Band).
