Headlining our acoustic stage on Friday night is Country by the Castle veteran, Sean Keefe Music

Taking his cue from the classic songwriters such as Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Ray Wylie Hubbard, he puts his own vision to use in twisting up genres and seeing what sticks. Driven by a love of melody – and most importantly, FEELING – Sean underpins fingerpicked guitar with lyrics and stories that share his unique insight into what’s before him.

We're super stoked to welcome fan-favourite Susannah Clegg Music back to Country by the Castle! Taking part in the songwriters round on Friday, and taking to the main stage with her full band on Saturday - you're in for a real treat!

Bursting onto the scene as one of the most compelling new talents in UK country and Americana, Susannah Clegg has been thrilling audiences up and down the country since the release of her debut EP in February 2025.

The scope of her original songs ranges from hard-driving country that sounds like it could have been written by the likes of Johnny Cash or Loretta Lynn, to vintage Western Swing that wouldn't be out of place in the dancehalls of Texas, to heartfelt cowboy ballads of the old west, all delivered with one of the finest country voices this side of the Atlantic ocean.

In the last year Susannah has been a featured artist on BBC Introducing, heralded by Rogue Country as a “rising star and trailblazer”, described as “a standout voice on the UK scene” by Rugged Revival, as well as being selected as the Americana Music Association UK member pick at Rambling Roots R***e, where her performance was hailed by attendees as one of the highlights of the festival.

On stage there are very few artists who can hold a stage or captivate an audience quite like Susannah: her songwriting is outstanding; her rootsy acoustic guitar harks back to the old bluesmen of Mississippi, embellished here and there with bluegrass-inspired licks, but it is her spine-tingling vocal performance that truly blows audiences away.

Taking to the stage on Saturday is Amy Jo Clough

Imagine if Elle Woods made country/pop music... that's how Amy Jo blends her two loves, academia and music. Since graduating from The Open University and the London School of Economics and Political Science, Amy Jo has performed at some prestigious venues, including New Century Hall, Barrowlands, Band on the Wall, London Indigo 02, Edinburgh Corn Exchange, The Cluny and The Stables.

Some notable achievements include performing alongside Brit-award winner, Raye, to an audience comprised of legendary songwriters, such as Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black, winning the ‘Best Newcomer’ Award with Songs Behind The Music, gaining over 180,000 streams on her debut EP ‘Songs From The Bay’, performing her debut at The British Country Music Festival and supporting Kylie Morgan at Bush Hall.

In recent months, Amy Jo has been featured on ITV Granada with host Elaine Wilcox, won the audience vote to play the Keep it Country Festival, and toured as part of the Northern Songbirds, featuring two sold out shows.

Currently in the process of releasing her debut album, Amy Jo describes her music as relatable, conversational, honest and grounded, with more than a splash of whimsy.
