Full line-up confirmed for Melton Mowbray's new country music festival
The full line-up has now been confirmed for Melton Mowbray’s brand new country music festival with stars from the UK and America set to perform.
Country On The Eye, which takes place on Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13 in Play Close Park, has added Song Suffragettes to the other previously announced acts on Saturday’s main stage line-up while Jeff Cohen will now be performing at the ‘Songwriters’ Showcase’ on the Friday.
Song Suffragettes – Nashville’s pre-eminent, all-female acoustic showcase – will bring their London residency to Country On The Eye in partnership with CountryWomenUK for a ‘one-of-a-kind show’.
Cohen, the distinguished, six-time BMI Award-winning, Grammy and CMT Award-nominated songwriter, producer, and publisher, was co-writer on the theme song to Nickelodeon's animated series PAW Patrol.
Hosted by Melton Mowbray Town Estate, the festival is predicted to combine the rich heritage of American country music with some of the very best original talent.
The line-up is curated by Ben Atkinson, host of the internationally syndicated Ben’s Country Music Show, and features a standout mix of UK and US performers.
They join previously announced headliner, Gary Quinn – the UK’s No.1 country artist and BCMA Male Vocalist of the Year, US duo Karli and James in their UK festival debut, Austin songwriting legend Bob Cheevers, Nashville songwriter Victoria Banks, folk favourite Will Varley, and bluegrass rising stars The Often Herd.
It is billed as a family-friendly event with workshops and americana-inspired food and drink all available to music fans who attend.
