• Winchester

Foxbridge is an acoustic duo with harmonies to pierce the soul. Honest, beautiful songs about the dusty rooms of life. Justin brings the experience of growing up in America with a hugely diverse musical background and Emily brings a touch of class and English refinement. Together they dive deep into the stories and characters of Foxbridge’s songs, combining two of the freshest and most spellbinding voices to bring them to life. Award winning, experienced live performers; Foxbridge has a distinctive sound that explores the worlds of folk-pop, Americana, and roots music. Proudly featured in Fatea’s Showcase Session Spring 2024:Skin highlighting “the best rising names across the acoustic spectrum”.
