| Black Deer Festival continues adding to their unique and authentic Americana and Country festival experience in the UK this summer, by adding Jessie Buckley – the phenomenal lead in the latest British drama-country-musical film Wild Rose. Revealed on the same day as the highly anticipated film release, this will also be the very first chance to see Jessie perform live this summer, adding an exciting new element to an already outstanding line up at Black Deer. Jessie Buckley will be performing the beloved songs from the films’ soundtrack such as Primal Scream’s ‘Country Girl’ and legendary country artists Emmylou Harris’ ‘Born To Run’ at the stunning Eridge Park in Kent this June. Gritty, inspirational and heartwarming, Wild Rose embodies country music in its purest form with Jessie Buckley’s character Rose-Lynn Harlan seeking out understanding and belonging as a modern-day outlaw. Hailed as “Irresistible” by The Telegraph and “Wonderful” by The Hollywood Reporter, the film’s themes resonate on every level with the ethos and aesthetic of Black Deer festival, and stands as yet another testament to the UK’s growing toe-tappin’ feelings towards the immersive lifestyle and genre. |
| On Jessie Buckley’s appearance at Black Deer, co-founders and promoters Gill Tee and Deborah Shilling commented… “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome the wonderful Jessie Buckley to Black Deer Festival. The music and culture this festival celebrates is rooted in authenticity and spirit and Jessie’s powerhouse performance in Wild Rose has this in spades. Country and Americana has never been more relevant and we’re delighted that Wild Rose is shining a light on the amazing singer/songwriters out there. There’s something very real about this music and it needs to be heard.” |
| Serving as the UK’s ultimate destination for Americana and Country fans, the multi-award winning festival will return to the stunning Eridge Park, set in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, a location only 50 minutes away from London. Meeting industry wide-approval and delighting debut festival goers with a heartfelt sense of community in its first year, Black Deer promises an incomparable lifestyle experience this summer. With a genuine display of Americana and Country music set over 7 stages, exquisite smokehouse cooking and Southern hospitality, as well as a truly unique cinematic experience by byNWR.com, a curated marketplace of artisans and makers, custom motorcycle culture and outdoor adventures for families, it’s no wonder many are eager to be spirited away for a the long weekend. |
