@BradfordRoots Here is Young Waters on the main stage at Bradford Roots Music Festival 2020. The band used to be known as Snufkin, and they describe themselves as post-emo-hardcore-hip-folk-hop. No, I have no idea either, but whatever it is I rather like it.

Singer-songwriter Luke Jackson on the main stage at the 2019 Bradford Roots Music Festival. Luke is sort of folk, but could also be categorized as americana or acoustic. Here he is playing solo, though he does also perform as a duo and a trio.
