About the Artists:

Towse is a folk-pop band originally hailing from California with a vulnerable and whimsically uplifting sound, tongue-in-cheek, storytelling lyrics and shredding fiddle, perfect both for sipping your tea to and driving through winding mountain roads screaming the lyrics full-blast. Core members, Grace Fellows and Corwin Zekley, have been on a perpetual DIY tour of America and the UK, playing over 80 shows in the past year. Towse has been featured in Voyage LA magezine, performed at numerous festivals such as Folklife and Sh-BANG, and played at storied venues like The Troubadour in LA and The Old Blue Last in London. People who like Chappell Roan, Fiona Apple, or Phoebe Bridgers will enjoy their show. Towse currently have 4 singles out and they're gearing up to release their debut EP in 2026.

Milena Galasso is a London-based pop artist of Italian-Serbian heritage who loves turning life's chaos into music you can belt out in the shower, whether you're falling in love or falling apart. Think heartfelt pop with a splash of sincere drama — songs that make you want to dance and cry (sometimes simultaneously). Described by EARMILK as “introspective and danceable, playful yet profound,” Milena Galasso’s music pairs vulnerable lyrics with catchy hooks, creating a sound that you can dance to and cry to. She writes unapologetically for the girls — giving voice to the modern female experience with honesty and wit. Her latest single, Honest, has been featured on Novità Pop Spotify editorial playlist. A Warchild support artist and finalist of the Isle of Wight New Blood competition 2024, Milena has captivated audiences across some of London’s most iconic venues, including Scala London and 93 Feet East and she has recently opened the main stage at Camper Jam festival 2025.

Ella Tobin: Hailing from South-East London, singer/songwriter Ella Tobin pairs honest, introspective lyricism and haunting melodies to create a blend of dreamy, indie-folk-infused pop. Knowing the comfort a relatable song can bring, Ella uses songwriting as a tool to make sense of her own emotions as well as the world around her. She hopes that by channelling these thoughts and feelings into song, she can connect with listeners who relate and help them feel less alone. In January 2024, Ella released her debut EP, ' Favourite Place To Hide', which included songs that garnered support from the likes of BBC Introducing London and Spotify Fresh Finds. This release was celebrated with a sold out debut headline show at The Camden Chapel. In the same year she also landed a spot on the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition Longlist, chosen by Amazing Radio who dubbed her a “future star in the popular folk music genre”. Since then, Ella has continued connecting with and growing her audience by gigging across London. She has also been writing and recording her second EP, which is set to be released over the coming months.
