A flair for alt-country sounds, melodic pop-hooks, and a voice that can blast it to the back of the room, Steady Habits is centred around the lyrical narrative of New-England native, Sean C. Duggan. Holding a place in “the youthful side of Americana” [Country Queer], Duggan’s songwriting is poignant, with a sensitivity and grit that is reminiscent of artists like Jason Isbell, Dawes & BJ Barnham [American Aquarium].

Pinned as one of the UK’s ‘Best of UK Country & Americana’ [Holler], Steady Habits has performed across the UK & Internationally, supporting artists such as The Hanging Stars, Our Man in the Field, Morganway & Demi Marriner and have performed at a number of of high-profile festivals such as The AMA UK Conference, Black Deer, Truck Festival & the Long Road Festival . Sean was featured as a finalist for Holler’s song writing competition for ‘Deviate’, a joyful and semi-autobiographical song about his upbringing as a young queer kid in the US.

“Best of British Country & Americana “​
Holler, 2024

“An excellent band with tremendous potential…an exciting blend of 90’s nostalgia”
Americana UK

“…some mighty clever songwriting that lands on the youthful side of americana, merging pop hooks with alt-country twang”
​Country Queer

+ SloWaltz
Exciting project by acclaimed songwriters Martin Clappison and Tom Kay. Known locally for their time together in The Mighty and The Moon, their extensive solo work, and projects such as The Broken Orchestra, Martin and Tom have joined forces once again and returned with an intimate, atmospheric indie folk sound, drawing inspiration from the likes of Nick Cave, Kathryn Joseph, and Radiohead. Expect haunting melodies, raw emotion, and a soundscape that lingers long after the last note fades.​

+ Andrew Metheven
Andrew Metheven is a lofi/alt-folk songwriter. He released his first EP, A Quiet Life, in March 2022, and his first album – Sister Winter – in June 2024, and has since performed at grassroots venues and festivals across Yorkshire. Still living in his native Bradford, his songs are about births, hills, loss, birds, daydreams… his live performances – characterised by his melodic guitar finger-picking – are unapologetically raw and unfiltered. He tries to avoid just writing songs about birds, but sometimes that’s hard.
