We are pleased to welcome American two-piece band Native Harrow, to the Wardlaw stable. Singer-songwriter and musician Devin Tuel, and multi-instrumentalist and composer Stephen Harms bring a timeless folk-soul sound.

The Times - “Laurel Canyon-Style folk rock with shades of Joni Mitchell. ★★★★”

The Guardian - “Classy folk-rock duo flip from artsy 1960’s pop to psychedelic gospel with an enviable elegance”

Uncut Magazine Americana Album of the Month - “Exquisite. Expect forays into desert funk, warm ‘70s groove, jazz and piano balladry”.

LOVEBREAKERS, hailing from Sabbath City - Birmingham, formed in 2018.

“Bright and sunny and positively beaming with power-pop radiance, it’s a bit Artic Monkeys, a bit Replacements, maybe a touch Pixies, the kind of band that sweeps you along helplessly on wave after (new) wave of melody and hooky choruses.”

"Classic Rock"

We are pleased to welcome singer songwriter Peter Chisholm aka LiVES to the Wardlaw roster. A singer/songwriter, but he is no ordinary solo artist with an acoustic guitar.

Loud and intense, his shows are heavy, dark, wild and beautiful, with a blues voice that fills up the room as he lays his emotions bare for all to hear and see. It can be uncompromisingly real and lushly psychedelic – a solo performer like no other.

Gregg has been a member of acclaimed Afro rock band Osibisa for over 30 years and has written the majority of the tracks on their 2021 album "New Dawn", released on Marquee Records.

We are very pleased to welcome soul/funk musician Byron Byrd to our roster. Byron formed classic US funk, soul, & R&B band Sun in the mid 70's, signing to Capitol Records and having hits including 'Conscience', 'Time Is Passing', & 'We're So Hot'.

We welcome drummer, percussionist and producer Richie Stevens to the Wardlaw roster. SmudgeAll Stars is Richie’s audio intelligence collective, his musical vision writ large, a funk/soul ensemble that draws on many leading British, Jamaican and US musicians.

Their upcoming debut is a party album in the old school P-funk tradition, all instrumentation is recorded live with Stevens calling on the original Horny Horns Fred Wesley and Peewee Ellis to help build a fat brass groove for the authentic P-Funk vibe and George Clinton vocals for the ultimate seal of funk approval.

We are delighted to announce the signing of two of Scotland’s finest musical acts, Mike Clerk & Caezar.

Stepping away from frontman duties with previous outfit The Lost Generation, Fife based singer-songwriter Mike is returning to music as a solo artist and in invigorating form. Unafraid to get personal, he explores the darker side of the human psyche, with his indie/alt rock “a bit Queens of the High Flying Black Rebel Motorcycle Keys” on his forthcoming debut album ‘The Space Between My Ears’.

Caezar are Joe Donnelly and JJ Gilmour, both former members of Scottish band The Silencers. The band are back in the studio working on new songs for release in 2021, a follow up to 2018’s Time.
