Midlands based Singer/Songwriter Kezia Gill, has been singing professionally for over 15 years. Born in Nottingham to a large musical family of Irish decent, her early years were spent surrounded by music. Her father, a professional musician for over 50 years and her single biggest influence, introduced Kezia to the world of performing, writing and most importantly, the vast back catalogue of music that has shaped her individual style. Pulling influences from a wide range of genres including Folk & Irish, Country, Rock and Blues, her sound is completely unique. She performs all over the UK, as well as the world, including previous shows in Europe, Australia and America. Her individual and uncomparable style is not only evident in her original material, but laced throughout her wide repertoire of classic covers. With her impressive vocal range, energy on stage and multi-instrumental talent, she makes every song her own.

 Major success was had with her single ‘Whiskey Drinkin’ Woman’ being added to the Radio 2 playlist for 4 consecutive weeks. When Covid-19 put the brakes on Kezia’s live performances, she turned to performing virtually, and her weekly Lockdown Live Streams on Facebook have been hugely successful, receiving repeatedly high viewing figures, and amassing her very own online fan group, 'The Friday Night Crew'. Continuing to release singles throughout the pandemic, and enjoying regular radio play from BBC Radio 2, Kezia also released her fourth Official Music Video to her latest single 'Wings'

.2021 is already set to be an exciting year for Kezia, as she continues to build on her success and make up for the lost time of the pandemic. Not only is new music on the horizon, but with Kezia's early influences of rock and blues deep rooted within her, she intends to spread her wings and explore a more "Americana" Sound. With the songwriting ability of a country artist, the stage energy of a rock star, and the voice of the blues, one thing is for sure.....

                                                         coming next from this exciting artist is definetely worth sticking around for.

Their original songs have quickly caught the admiration of British country audiences, blending memorable melodies, gritty yet thoughtful lyrics and exquisite harmonies. Keren Morall - country commentator and podcast host, said of Tennessee Twin ‘These guys are exceptional. The emotion they bring with their songs is undeniable. Their story telling is second to none.’

Their song writing has earned international recognition. Their latest singles, 'Every Story', ‘Two Heart Rendezvous’, 'When We Move' and 'Rewind' all received universal praise and gained airplay around the world. Their debut EP ‘Tips In A Jar’ (August 2019) went straight into the iTunes UK Country Chart at no.1 and has established itself as a favourite of country fans while gaining widespread airplay. In the words of Gaz Williams of ‘Building Our Own Nashville ‘It showcases the kind of storytelling prowess that has already earned Tennessee Twin international acclaim.’ 

Before ‘Tips In A Jar’ their previous single 'Wings of Red, White and Blue' won the Nashville Music City song writing competition in March 2018 taking them to record in Nashville, Tennessee later that year.The duo won all three of their nominated categories in the UK Country Showcase Listener Awards 2019 (Best Newcomer, Best Duo and Best EP) and were finalists in the UK Country Music Awards 2020 (Best Duo) and 2019 British Country Airplay ‘Artiste Of The Year’.

Adam first picked up a guitar aged seven but until his early teens his interest was barely smouldering as a brief foray into classical guitar failed to provide the spark of inspiration he needed. Things began to change when at thirteen he started private tuition with Adrian John Loveridge, a veteran of the 1980’s Californian music scene who had just moved back to his hometown of Lyme Regis, Dorset. Guitar lessons suddenly got a lot cooler with tales of ‘life on the road’ in a far-off land, told in an American accent and Adrian’s gold record gleaming on the wall. The breakthrough came when Adam’s new mentor took him to see blues rock band The Hamsters at Lyme’s Marine Theatre. Adam left his first ever gig with Jimi Hendrix riffs ringing in his ears and by age fifteen he was gigging regularly on the local circuit recreating the music of his newfound guitar heroes. 

Since those early days of playing in numerous bands he has honed his craft and found his voice, and with well over 1,500 gigs under his belt is successfully carving out a solo career. 

His acclaimed debut album ‘Small Town Thinking’, recorded both in Devon and Nashville, was released at the start of 2014. The album steadily gathered praise with Adam’s “timeless” gift earning him rave reviews including a full 5-star rating and ‘Album of the Month’ award in Guitar Techniques Magazine

PRB and via its earlier incarnation as 'AFGM' have had the pleasure of some fine musicians over the years. Take a peek at the gallery photos for some past faces.

 The  last AFGM album, ‘The River’, released in 2009, received ★★★★★ critical acclaim on  iTunes. “This is a wonderful album with tracks as varied as ‘The River’ with a passing nod to Pink Floyd, to ‘Picture’ with a hint of country rock. A joy.” A number of songs have made it through to the PBB set all be it with some 'updating' by the current line-up.
