The Line up

Jumpin Jesse Jones
Jumping Jesse Jones is a kick ass solo acoustic performer who?s guitar playing treads a thin red line between the funk bass of Larry Graham and the acoustic wizardry of John Renbourne. This unique hybrid of styles creates the effect of a full backing band. His voice veers precariously between Tom Waits and Elvis Costello with songs dealing with such diverse subjects as child abduction and biblical visions. He is also not adverse to mixing in a bit of overtone chanting (singing two notes at once) if applied tastefully! Past incarnations include bass player for London punksters The Cuckoo Jives and Loretta Heywood (Bomb The Bass). ...

Carley Varley
Carley Varley is a full-time musician from Dorset UK. Originally from Hampshire Carley began by busking on the streets of Lymington until she was asked to perform inside venues after being heard outside. This led to Carley being asked by more and more establishments to perform and from this she is becoming a household name in the South of England. Carley has been asked to return to over 100 establishments in the past few years after being booked.

Performing with her mini-martin she loves to get people dancing but also loves performing acoustic renditions of popular songs from the 60's to present day chart hits.

In 2018 Carley won The Dorset Venus Award for Musical Talent and has since gone on to perform in famous venues such as The Waldorf and The Ritz in London. Carley has also performed at festivals such as Milford Music Festival, Lymington Seafood Festival, Poole Harbour Festival, Arch Revival Festival and The New Forest Show.

Ode To Lucius
Ode to Lucius is an alternative dream-pop trio. Their richly expansive concepts combine synths with live electric and classical instruments to create an eclectic prism of sound.

Ode To Lucius are Stergin, Amy Kelly and Marianne Canning: all professional multi-instrumentalists who have years of experience touring with bands worldwide including The Irrepressibles, The King Blues & Florence Welch to name a few.

The band formed in 2018 and created the multi-media show ?12 Photos 12 Tracks?. The show attracted media attention including articles in the British Phonographic Institute (BPI) magazine, FMS & Polaroid magazine. The show?s sold-out debut gained international media attention from ORF - a primetime Austrian television channel whose feature about them and the project was later aired on Austrian TV.

In 2020 they released two singles on Spotify - ?Keep It Low? & ?I Wonder? - which have gained radio play on FM4 and BBC6 Freshonthenet Listening Playlist. Ode To Lucius? music combines electronic sounds with live instruments, flowing lyrics and soaring melodies blended with lush harmonies.
