Artists will include singer-songwriter Sarah Riches, as she makes her debut at Tamworth Assembly Rooms with her 7-piece band The Dreamcatchers, for an evening of live country music. Sarah will be performing songs from her current album ‘I Don't Give Up Easily’, which was recorded and produced in Nashville by legendary producer Fred Mollin.

Fred Mollin discovered her voice and music, which ranges from country pop to bluesy reflection. Mollin has worked with artists such as Jimmy Webb, Billy Ray Cyrus, Vince Gill, Lyle Lovett, Kris Kristofferson, and Joe Cocker, and more than half of the musicians that played on Sarah's album are regular artists at The Grand Ole Opry.

They have published their own songs and played at venues across the midlands for many years.
