About

After curating last year's Americana Fest, The 7 Hills returns for its 3rd year in an exciting, new reincarnation at Komedia, cementing its grassroots ethos of providing a platform for exceptional local artists to share stages with some of those finest working today.

The passion-project of ex-Noah and the Whale musician Matt Owens and Marketing and Music Entrepreneur Jack Horner, The 7 Hills Spring Festival 2023 hits the central Bath venue on 19 March with arguably its strongest line-up to date.

Three stages, including the fan-favourite “Singer-Songwriter Round” will cram inside for the one-day event set to be headlined by Ethan Johns’ Black Eyed Dogs – an all-star collective of world-class musicians who will close out the night with a show stopping set of rock’n’roll based around The Grateful Dead’s greatest tunes.

Nashville/Somerset darlings Ida Mae join the bill for the first time, & there’s a return for Bristol Brit-Nominated Beth Rowley accompanied by her full band. AMAUK artists of the year Robert Vincent’s new songs are his greatest to date and local hero Sam Brookes, Frome’s rising-star Izzie Yardley, folk-darling Jack Francis and Swindon’s Radio Kings Concrete Prairie all join the party.

As ever Owens’ has lured some London hipsters out West, and fresh from touring with Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross, Country artist Hannah White’s in tow with her band. Ajay Srivastav's dobro ebbs and flows from the banks of Delta Blues to the sacred rivers of Indian folk & Matt’s Bathonian-band of All-Stars The Delusional Vanity Project are set to be fully loaded. Critically acclaimed troubadour David Hope is even flying in from the West Coast of Ireland for an eagerly anticipated set.

With the wealth of quality calling into perform and collaborate on the Stone Circle Stage ranging from Phil King, DG Solaris, Paper and the Girl, Alex Lipinski, Joely & Clemencie, and with even more acts to soon be announced, this is a date not to be missed!
