Before becoming a country artist, North Carolina resident Brad Henshaw has staked his claim in the music industry producing shows such as, Blues Brothers Approved, Rhinestone Cowboy and Road Kings aswell as working with some of the biggest names in the industry; Sean Coombs (P.Diddy), Whitney Houston, Buddy Guy, Blur, Richard Ashcroft, UB40, Rod Stewart, Roy Wood, Michael Bolton, Slade, Shirley Bassey and Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Described by Jimmy Webb as “a truly wonderful voice and a great songwriter himself”, Henshaw has performed at renowned events like, MTV World awards, MTV European awards, MOBO awards and multiple world-wide USSO Tours. His debut single “I Got This” organically blends traditional and pop country, with its classic storytelling and modern country sound it’s set it up to be country hit.

Whilst being entirely self produced, they have had a string of records played on BBC Introducing Coventry and Warwickshire which saw them named BBC Introducing band of the month at the start of 2023.Their most recent single release saw them team up with multi platinum record producer Mike Krompass which has produced epic results and led to a slot at the prestigious Godiva festival later this year.All their songs are co written by Emma Jane Norman and Steve Nunn, the two vocalists of the band, whose harmonies have received great plaudits.
