Singer/songwriter Haley Heynderickx draws from a wide array of influences, citing her religious Filipino-American upbringing, the folk music of the 1960s and ’70s, jazz radio, and the idiosyncratic acoustic guitar styles of Leo Kottke  and John Fahey. All of those ingredients find their way into her music, which pairs deft fingerpicking with lyrics that flirt with levity but hew toward introspection. Her first album, I Need to Start A Garden saw release in 2018. Following years of heavy touring, Heynderickx unveiled her 2024 album, Seed of a Seed.

Coming November 21st 2025, Haley Heynderickx and Max García Conover partnered again for their second collaborative album, What of Our Nature via Fat Possum Records. The pair spent a year sharing songs from opposite corners of the country while reading Woody Guthrie’s words and biographies, slowly exploring a patchwork of Americanism to see where their stories fit. The result is a collection of music about profound friendship, the legacy of colonialism, generational identity, commercialism, and the slippery target of addressing social equity in song.

Adam Holmes is a Scottish BBC award-winning songwriter whose work has found a distinct and enduring place in the UK folk landscape.

His songs have been broadcast across BBC Radio and featured in television and film, including Outlander and Apple TV productions.

In recent years, his music has reached a global audience, drawing in a new generation of listeners while staying close to those who have followed his work over time.

Raised in Portobello, the second youngest of eight children, Holmes grew up surrounded by music. The slow airs and church hymns of his childhood continue to shape his melodic sensibility, alongside early exposure to Edinburgh’s folk scene and long nights listening and learning old fiddle tunes by ear.

At 19, on the same day he was offered an apprenticeship on the building site, Adam received a call confirming his place in the semi-finals of the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year. He chose music and has followed that path since.

In the years that followed he played a thousand times wherever he could. Small rooms, quiet corners and the kinds of spaces where a song either holds or it doesn’t.

He has shared stages with artists including Martin Simpson, Karine Polwart and John Prine and appeared on bills alongside Laura Marling, Van Morrison and Jason Isbell.

His work is defined by songs that reward attention. Songs that don’t always reveal themselves immediately but stay with people long after they’ve been heard.
