With his songs and enlightened activism, Tommy has touched the lives of individuals and communities around the globe. I share the feeling of audiences who have had the opportunity to see Tommy perform – it is an honor to get to know him.

Incredibly talented and energetic, Imar are a joy to watch. An instrumental band, but I have seen them get the audience singing. Great show, great people!

After years of working closely together we are finally working together! Wooden Ship is very excited to represent this great US-based Americana act who has been a favorite of ours for years.

Here is a beautiful a Capella song that is a good place to start.

And a full band number from Celtic Connections this year.

10 songs recorded in front of a live audience. Released as an CD, but also video for all songs available on The Fretless youtube channel here. 

I know you are used to me gushing about the artists we work with, but this is a first – I LOVE THIS SONG! It strikes me as timeless and beyond genre. We have all felt the pain they stroke with the lyrics and the instruments create a perfect environment for the sentiment. Hannah’s voice is one of the best and she shares her broken heart so clearly mine breaks while listening.

Happy Spring!
