Black Deer Festival Announced (Featuring Ward Thomas)
A brand new festival will take place this year in Kent – the ‘Black Deer Festival of Americana and Country’. Iron and Wine and Passenger have been named as headliners of the event, which takes place on the weekend of June 22nd to the 24th. Of particular interest to readers of Belles and Gals will be the inclusion of Ward Thomas, a duo we named as our artists of the year in 2016 and who are nominated again this year.
