Stone Branches
Stone Branches are a dynamic alt-rock band from the south coast, crafting music that shifts between intimate vulnerability and widescreen power. Their sound weaves together layered guitars, emotive
vocals, and atmospheric textures — delivering songs that are both deeply personal and built for the stage.
In 2023, they were named one of two winners in the Isle of Wight Festival’s New Blood competition, selected from over 5,000 entrants and earning a performance slot at the iconic festival.
Their latest single, “The Beautiful Now”, is a stirring reflection on presence and fragility — a slow-burning track that swells with layered guitars, haunting vocals, and a sense of emotional urgency that lingers long
after it ends.
“Stone Branches balance the contrast expertly, melding sparse moments with swelling sonic landscapes, creating something that feels both intimate and expansive.” – Click Roll Boom
Following a string of compelling live shows across the south, Stone Branches return to Heartbreakers for a headline performance featuring new material, crowd favourites, and the immersive live energy that’s rapidly building them a dedicated following.

Anna Muir
Based on the UK south coast, singer-songwriter Anna Muir creates music to drive, scream, and cry to.
With lyrics born from a restless mind and shaped by a childhood spent moving from place to place, Anna’s songs capture the ache of belonging nowhere and everywhere all at once.
Inspired by indie-folk icons like Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, as well as the ethereal tones of Big Thief and the experimental edge of Radiohead, Anna’s music blends visceral honesty with clever lyricis and dark humour. Her intimate vocals float over dreamy guitar arrangements, crafting songs that linger long after the last note.
Anna’s rising star has already earned her a prominent place in the indie scene. She was recently featured on billboards across her hometown of Southampton and has performed at renowned venues across the
South, supporting multiple sold-out shows. In 2024, she took her career to new heights with two performances on the Shipyard Stage at the Southampton International Boat Show.
Her debut single, “Lost on Me”, released in 2024, received widespread acclaim, climbing to number one on the South Coast Music Chart. With new music slated for release in 2025, Anna Muir is proving herself
an artist to watch — bringing heartfelt storytelling and a captivating presence to every song and stage she graces.

Jamie Norton
Jamie Norton, alongside his band, are a collective of very sonically diverse, Southampton based musicians working together to bring to life Jamie’s “Rose Tinted Vision.”

With eager ambitions to take over the UK, Jamie released his debut EP “Rose Tinted Vision” in late February 2024 and reached over 40,000 streams on Spotify and even more including other platforms. (Featuring songs like OUT OF THE WATER)

Having taken inspiration from artists like The 1975, The Kooks & Ed Sheeran, Jamie’s songwriting covers good ground and is well complimented by a full band instrumentation. If you love indie bands, artisanal pop, singer songwriters and guitar music, this is not an artist you want to sleep on
