Free spirited singer-songwriters River Roots are a good-vibe, acoustic folk-roots duo from the UK. A powerful symbiosis of soulful male/female harmonies that will take you out of your head and straight into your heart. River Roots have a playful uplifting vibe that will nourish your soul as they seamlessly weave between soothing melodies to funky upbeat feel-good songs. Their music is majorly influenced by a nomadic lifestyle and the profound experiences and connections made on their travels.
Their self-titled debut album was released, recorded and produced in 2018 by Sonic Vista Studios (Lady Gaga, Swedish House Mafia, Ting Tings). River Roots’ successful sophomore album Coalescence catapulted onto the scene at the end of 2020. Recorded and produced in London by Leon Itzler who has also captured the sounds of Sam Garrett and Ny Oh. Songs have since been featured on Radio BBC Introducing a number of times. Their popular track ‘Bare feet’ won best folk song of the year on the ‘2020 Reddit Grammy Awards’.
Heralded as “mind-blowing” and “awe inspiring”, British artist Matthew One Man creates multi-layered soundscapes through the use of his beloved loop-station and acoustic guitar- that create the illusion of a full band. at the age of 7 Matthew began playing bass and guitar. Matthew’s original sound could be described as experimental soundscape music including original composed pieces such as Omega, Cantonese Love, Electric Eyes Everywhere and Another Word for Light. Through his exploration of musical territories Matthew has expanded his sound and developed a unique take on dance music composing original pieces such as Trowel, Orange and Blue and renditions of My Heart Will Go On and 9pm Til I Come. Matthew has performed at festivals all over the UK and in 2023 will also be performing at Glastonbury, Kendall Calling and Secret Garden Party, as well as venturing into Europe to perform in a number of countries.
