Ellis Berry is a British singer-songwriter borrowing styles from a variety of genres such as folk, hip-hop, and pop to produce open and honest ‘storytelling’ songs. Born in Southport, England, Ellis picked up a guitar at a young age but it wasn’t until he started university that he started to compose life events and experiences into music. Following a move to London, Ellis became a familiar face at small local gigs and open mics performing acoustic sets with a guitar and a loop station to blend rhythmic guitar melodies and harmonic vocals.

8:30pm SAM WALWYN
Born in the U.K, Sam grew up in the Caribbean & Jersey. As a result, his songwriting influences span everything from Cuban Mambo & Flamenco to Pop. Early performances at local shows immediately grabbed the attention of promoters who offered him his first support slot for none other than Sir Tom Jones and then his first festival spot at Bestival.
Travelling to Australia, Sam studied the right-hand techniques of flamenco guitar in with Nigel Jones and Damian Wright, before successfully auditioning for the Royal Northern College of Music. But Sam really found his voice whilst recovering over a two-year period from the life-threatening illness that forced him to drop out of college. During his long recovery, he started uploading live clips & short films with his lo-fi bedroom demos behind them to Instagram. His blend of indie-folk & alternative pop soon helped him gain support slots for artists such as Gabrielle Aplin & shows with Newton Faulkner.
Sam has since performed live for BBC Introducing & Sofar Sounds, sold out his first headline show, self-promoted his own UK mini-tour, played venues including Notting Hill Arts Club, The Troubadour, Ronnie Scott’s, Camden Assembly & even the O2 arena amongst others.

9:30pm ALEXIS COREY
Alexis Corey is a dynamic and powerful vocalist and songwriter from New York City. She currently resides in London and travels the world and country sharing her music as well as hope and awareness to others who have shared suffering from addiction and mental health issues. She has performed music professionally since early childhood, however, at a young age experienced extreme life-altering events which caused her to turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with life at a very young age. This led her to a significant amount of demoralization and prevented her from truly being able to pursue her music career.
After years of battling with addiction and mental health issues, Alexis is now able to live her dream of being a traveling artist and helps inspire others to do the same. She creates music, performs regularly with her band, songwrites, and advocates for women and men who suffer from mental health issues as well as domestic violence.
What inspires her music today is the healing of her own soul and transmitting the same healing, joy, and pure entertainment to other human beings. She is now in the business of creating healing through musical entertainment to transform the hearts and minds of others. The idea that we may transform and live a purposeful, meaningful, and impactful life by design, which by default impacts the lives of others, is what drives her to create and evolve. It is pure alchemy. She is able to best share this through the gift of music and songwriting which she is eternally grateful for.
She wants people to connect with their souls through her music. She wants people to know they are not alone. She desires human beings to connect to each other across all different genders, races, sexual preferences, backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and any other imaginary labels we as a collective humanity have created. The true purpose of music and healing is to foster connection and community to enable all to lead a joyous life filled with abundance and happiness.
Alexis provides an experience of the present moment that is not to be forgotten, warms your heart, and inspires you to believe in yourself and the possibilities that are limitless always within your reach!
