Joey Ryan:
Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Joey Ryan has been performing and writing music for the last decade. Currently based in Berlin, Germany, Ryan has spent the last year finishing off his second record of original material with producer Christian Best (Mick Flannery, O Emperor). The release of the album in Ireland was met with great reviews and radio support for lead single 'Tenderly', which was featured on such stations as Radio Nova, RTE Radio One, Cork's Red FM, South East Radio, Roddie Cleeres Irish Music Show, Beat FM, KCLR, iRadio Ireland and 2Fm.
Ryan’s sound could be best described as having an atmospheric rock based aesthetic, whilst also incorporating acoustic tones. Ryan writes his guitar orientated music drawing from his influences which range from Springsteen to The National, Ryan Adams to Jeff Buckely and Tom Waits to Bon Iver. The last five years have seen Ryan broaden his touring circuit into Europe, with four tours of Germany completed in the last two years alone, as well as tours in the UK, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

Kilkelly:
Fresh off the heels of his debut EP, Kilkelly is a staple of the Berlin folk scene. With a residency in the historical and prestigious Berlin venue, Kaffee Burger, the Irishman is building upon his impressive repertoire of original folk ballads, finger picking jazz ‘n blues fused melodies, and slaying audiences with his engaging performances, stories - with comedic splashes throughout. Kilkelly’s a mangled mix of genres left lying around. The lyrics that tie the songs together are a combination of harsh truths, poetic liberties and stuff you shouldn’t get away with saying in public.
