His new EP ‘Call My Name’ (released in October) features four alt country tracks with confessional lyrics really at the forefront.

He has been featured on BBC Radio across the UK, and festival performances include Celtic Connections (Glasgow Concert Hall) and London Blues Fest.

Joshua James Jackson (California) at Northern Guitars
Northern Guitars Cafe Bar41 Call LaneLeeds,LS1 7BT Map
Joshua James Jackson and his guitar share all the best stories and jokes, the highest highs and the lowest lows of life on the road. His songs are honest and bare, driving and fun. He begs the difficult questions like “do we do away with the dewey decimal system?” and just what does it mean to live the dream?
Northern Guitars has stood the test of time on Call Lane for almost 30 years, trading pre-loved and collectors guitars since '89, and beer since 2017! Last year they installed a cafe bar on the ground floor - featuring stripped back walls lined with guitars, original vintage posters, local artwork and photography. This makes for a cosy, 70s vibe in the evenings, while our beer garden boasts a beautiful little suntrap in the daytime for coffee (or beer!)

Special Guest ** Henry Parker **
Northern Guitars Cafe Bar41 Call LaneLeeds,LS1 7BT Map
We're very pleased to welcome back Henry Parker to Afternoon Americana.
A devoted guitarist from the West Yorkshire town of Bingley, Henry Parker plays with an intricate finger-picking style that brings to mind the late 60’s folk, psych and progressive rock scenes, with influence drawn from the likes of Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Pentangle and Fairport Convention. His songwriting lyrically entwines landscapes, people and politics with roots that run deep into the traditional folk songs of England.
“Channelling the ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60’s folk revival as if it were yesterday.” ★★★★★ – RnR
“As an album, Silent Spring may be built on and around the folk-infused music of fifty years ago but its message is very much for today. Henry Parker is clearly an excellent guitarist and writer, but he has also not lost sight of the message. He has found his path. Let us walk that way as well. Excellent.“ – Folk Radio UK

Cat Una + Joe Kelly
Northern Guitars Cafe Bar41 Call LaneLeeds,LS1 7BT Map
Cat Una is an Indie-folk singer-songwriter of Irish/Italian decent. Spending her childhood days in a melting pot of culture, a love for music was born out of observing her Father and Grandfather playing jazz piano and saxophone, quickly spiralling into obsession and becoming a private vessel for the expression of emotions.
During her time at University, Cat Una had bagged herself a solo slot at the renowned Live at Leeds festival as well as airplay on BBC Introducing in West Yorkshire with 'Ivy’, a track she co-wrote with guitarist Mac Volpe, who still accompanies her to this day. As well as supporting artists such as Tom Williams and Jerry Williams on their UK tours, Cat Una was the first signed asset of pioneering not-for-profit label ‘Monomyth Records’, who have endorsed several releases which continue to be praised by the BBC introducing in WY team.
After a period of re-calibration involving the balancing act between working on a telephone switchboard by day, and crafting as well as performing a stream of stripped back shows by night, Cat Una is fast approaching the release of her latest single 'Wait it Out’. It provides a glimpse into the journey Cat has made over recent years, showcasing notable growth in both her confessional style of song-writing and advancement of her vocal prowess. Cat says of the new single, “I guess the crux of this one, for me anyway, is about when you close yourself off and don't ask for help when you probably need it the most”.

Backed by The Royal Pharmacy, debut LP Imperial Caravan sees the dustbowl-dry skeletons of Joe Kelly’s haunted blues and country songs fleshed out with an Americana sound ranging from lush to eerie. Cut live in the studio with minimal overdubs, no click tracks or samples, the album’s vintage sonics are augmented on three songs by Welsh singer-songwriter Bryony Sier, who adds spectral harmonies that somehow channel Emmylou Harris and Stevie Nicks.
