Tim Holehouse

Tim Holehouse is one of the hardest-working musicians out there. For the past  20 years he has been touring the globe,  like a stone gathering no moss has brought influences as varying to his sound today. Breaking the 250-300 gig mark most years, Tim leads somewhat of a nomadic existence, but for all intents and purposes, treats London as his home when not out plying his trade to international and domestic audiences.

Tim is equally prolific with his recording as he is with his travels, when not gigging his way round the US, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Australia or Europe, he has found the time to release 21 albums and countless split releases, often with artists he tours with.

Tim’s own sound is hugely varied too, often able to adapt to performing sets depending on the atmosphere of a show. He has been known to release folk, blues, experimental music and much more besides, often on a single tour. Tim’s songs come from a place of honesty and a keen ear for anything creative regardless of genre. His own philosophy is that, ‘if music is good, it’s just good, right?’

To get a feel for Tim’s wide and varied talent, check out the tracks below, and as Tim often quotes from one of his favourite films, ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’:

‘Be excellent to each other.” Find out more about Tim via his website. Follow Tim on social media. Enjoy Tim’s music via soundcloud.

Emily Davis

For the first time in their life, Emily Davis is making music for themself.

No longer afraid of hiding behind what’s expected, or bending to the will of perceptions, they are instead turning to the freedom of catharsis.
On their latest EP Living in the Past Tense, produced by Scott Hallquist of punk band Ten Foot Pole, Davis is peeling back the protective layers that have shielded them from true introspection and learning to be as openly honest and abrasive as they can about their lived experiences. By processing both painful and poignant reflections, the El Paso based songwriter has moved into a new phase, and welcomes others to join the reprieve on the EP’s release on June 30th, via Hogar Records.
