On tour with Lindy Hop / Swing Dance hotshots

Chance Bushman and

Amy Johnson

Meschiya began her singing career at the age of nine, earning a regular gig and $500 upon winning an adults only singing contest in a South Dakota Steakhouse.

Her style's been called punkjazz, probably as much for its defiantly acoustic and raw qualities as for the amount of ink on her tiny frame. Fronting her band The Little Big Horns, Lake revives long-lost songs about gin and loose women who steal her man, and sings like she'd cut you if you went near either.

"With the superlative and atmospheric playing of The Little Big Horns providing the perfect musical setting, Meschiya Lake has given this fantastic music a new lease of life" - Dave Haslam

“...A tall young man who calls himself Chance moves like Olive Oyl; he and his partner Amy Johnson can jitterbug like nobody’s business. You can try to stand still while you’re watching and listening, but I wouldn’t expect much success.” - The New Yorker

Another good friend of Whitstable Folk Nights makes a welcome return.

Cara Luft likes to laugh. She does it a lot. It’s one of the first things you notice when meeting her, that and her engaging smile. It’s endearing and infectious. Nothing pretentious about her, Cara’s the real deal.
