2019 MUSIC LINE UP

Broken Witt Rebels
“Blues sodden, sultry, humid music displaying all the solidity of a British rock legacy merged with confidence of an atmospheric deep south soulful Americana.”

The arrangement of James Tranter’s dominant, layered guitar work, Danny Core’s strong and unique vocals, Luke Davis’s muddy harmonic bass playing and James Dudley's drumming groove are the framework of a band that’s enchanting and irresistible.

James & Black

From the first note you can feel it – that thing you just cannot put a finger on, that thing you know is real but cannot see.  This is the feeling you get when you listen to something so pure and authentic that you know there is way more to it than just notes and rhythm.  Otis Redding and Nina Simone had "it", Marvin Gaye and Etta James had "it".  Some people call "it" spirit also known as soul. James & Black is Guerrilla Soul and they're coming back to Vann Fest 2019. We guaranteed they will blow you away.

Imperial Daze

Imperial Daze are a psych-pop band from South London hailing the likes of Damon Albarn, Kevin Parker and Soulwax as heroes and guides. The latest single, ‘Minding The Haze’, released through Tip Top Recordings on the 13th February 2019 has already caught the attention of John Kennedy, being playlisted on Radio X and Amy Lame over at BBC6 Music. They are going to go down a storm at Vann Fest this June!
