8pm- Victoire Oberkampf
Genre: French/English Folk/Indie
For fans of: Lisa Hannigan, Camille, Keren Ann, Damien Rice, Feist, First aid Kit, Johnny Flynn, Laura Marling.

Victoire Oberkampf uses her voice to express her heart, and her guitar to carry the moment. Largely inspired by British folk songwriters such as Lisa Hannigan and First Aid Kit, she writes French songs like the English ones, with the same taste for melancholy and storytelling, and delicately balancing sweetness and strength. Her music is also inspired by her travels to Africa and Brazil.

9pm- Cancion Franklin
Genre: Americana, Country, Blues
For fans of: Merle Haggard, Bob Dylan, Lightning Hopkins

Unsigned, unasked and unapologetic, Cancion is a true DIY singer/songwriter. His songwriting ranges from outlaw country stylings and driving blues/rock raptures, to gorgeously vulnerable, raw, gentle music. He is often accompanied by Alex Whelan, on backup vocals and guitar, blending tight harmonies with a broken down home guitar attack.

11pm- Ainsely Matich
Genre: New Orleans Blues
For fans of: Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones, Janis Joplin, James Booker

Ainsley Matich has been writing songs for over 10 years, often taking multiple genres and mixing them together throughout a single song. Her music is heavily influenced by the Blues, Motown, Country, Classic Rock, Jazz and Pop, and by artists both old and new. Whether performing solo or with her 6 piece band, Ainsley’s soulful lyrics and raucous piano playing take center stage, leading the audience on a journey through love, heartbreak, cheating, existential dread, and everything in between. Simply put, she’s a girl with her roots in a classical upbringing and her soul in New Orleans.

"Listen closely to the music of Ainsley Matich and the Broken Blues, and you’ll hear raw poetry along with Matich’s accomplished compositions." - New Orleans Living Magazine

"[Ainsley's] passion started young and continues to grow in NOLA as the band plays local shows and builds their following through original music described as 'rock ’n’ roll blues pop.'” - Where Y'at Magazine
