N&D Showcase: Oscar Bryant and the Bluebirds

When Oscar Bryant & The Bluebirds met they quickly realised their love of 60's/70's Rock, infectious melodies and bluesy guitar solos. Their sound has been described as a 'comforting sound of the 70's with a fresh spin'. Taking inspiration from the likes of The Who, Steely Dan, Billy Joel and much more. This Manchester five-piece includes Harry Ackerman on Bass, Taylor Tout on Drums, Joshua Short on Keyboards, Harry Piggott on Lead and Oscar Bryant on Vocals.

Muddy Elephant

Hailing from Chester in the North West, Muddy Elephant consists of four lads that live for the stage. The vocalist, Sam, has regularly been compared to the likes of Elvis and Bowie in his aesthetic and vocal range. Thumping beats from drummer Harry and fuzzy bass lines from Matt provides the core of Muddy Elephant's sound. Whilst Carlos "loose cannon" Jones, provides cutting riffs that are instantly nailed to your brain.

Dane Road

The four lads from Sale, Manchester, play feel-good rock and roll music influenced by bands like The Stone Roses, Fontaines D.C., and AC/DC. Dane Road have crafted a powerful sound unique to themselves while staying true to their strong Mancunian roots. Since forming in 2019, they have released two singles ('Otter' & 'Exodus') and headlined shows at both Manchester Academy 3 and Fuel Café Bar in Withington. Most recently, they performed at the Tributes on The Hill festival and they are preparing the release of their upcoming single 'Heartbreak Child'.
