There’s a format beloved in Nashville’s listening rooms and folk circles the world over – four writers, sitting in a circle, taking turns to play their songs and tell their stories. No support slots. No headliners. Just the songs, in conversation with each other, and with you. On 25th June, Chalk House Sessions brings that format to the Con Club for the first time.
Joining us in the round with your host Erika Olson – who will kick things off.
Tai Shan – Nashville-based, award-winning, and on her seventh studio album. Wildfire Moon has been called “simply stunning” by LA Weekly. A two-time Kerrville New Folk finalist, she’s played the Bluebird Café and performed for audiences as varied as Pope John Paul II and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. If you’ve never seen her, this is your moment. It’s her first time in Lewes.
Johnny Veres & Beth Hataway (Electric Blue Yonder) – a retro-futurist pair whose music sits somewhere between 1960s psychedelia, indie-folk, and cosmic Americana.

Johnny brings swirling guitar textures and songs shaped by grief, memory, and the future-nostalgia that defines their sound together.
Sennen Timcke – Described as “Gorgeously Atmospheric” by BBC Introducing, Sennen Timcke is a singer-songwriter channelling the raw honesty of ‘70s British and American folk music into his own compelling modern folk-pop sound.
