MINDY SMITH and SIMONE FELICE have been added to the already bursting line up for Maverick Festival 2013, the UK’s number one American Roots music festival.

MINDY SMITH, former winner of the Americana Music Association ‘New artist of The Year award’ today joined the already bursting festival line up alongside SIMONE FELICE formerly of the acclaimed New York natives, The Felice Brothers.

Mindy Smith, shot to fame with her rendition of the Dolly Parton classic Jolene. She impressed Dolly so much, that she joined her to perform the song on national TV in America. Since then Mindy‘s albums have regularly reached the Billboard charts and she has won legions of fans, not least amongst the leading lights of the Nashville music community with whom she often performs. 

Alongside his brother Ian, Simone garnered huge international praise as part of The Felice Brothers, who were given a place in the Great American Songbook. Since then, Simone’s role as key-lyricist has lent itself to other musical projects, novels and now his solo career. Players from MUMFORD & SONS and also THE FELICE BROTHERS have been a part of SIMONE’S recordings, which showcase his unique storytelling and lyrical abilities, cementing his place as one of the great songwriter-poets of his generation.
