The Hoosiers are an English pop rock band formed in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 2003 and relocated to Yatton, Somerset. The band consists of members Irwin Sparkes (lead vocals, lead guitar) and John Mann (drums, percussion, vocals).

Known for their quirky lyrics, vibrant melodies, and engaging stage presence, The Hoosiers have become a staple in the indie music scene. With hits like "Goodbye Mr. A" and their debut single "Worried About Ray" which reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart, the band has garnered a loyal fan base and continues to be a driving force in the alternative music scene.

This return to Docks Academy has been highly anticipated since their Christmas Acoustic set back in 2021, and we are thrilled to have the boys back here at The Church, this time with the full live band.

Supporting The Hoosiers is local singer and songwriter Jaz Beeson and her band. Brooding, soft, but dreamy - Jaz has floated into her new ‘Petrol Receipts’ era with ease. For fans of Charli Adams, Lucy Dacus and nostalgic MTV guitar pop. Layered guitars, bags of ethereal vocals and a lyrical rawness that grounds the three describe her record well. Jaz’s new EP delves into the yearning and nostalgia of turning your back on everything you know.

Jaz has had a busy 2023, with anticipated release Peugeot 205, while debut EP ‘Season Two’ collected hundreds of thousands of streams over the year. Jaz: ‘Last year I embraced being a shit person and how that felt’.
