Two more artists were announced for Buckle & Boots 2016!

Two Ways Home (UK) are Isabella Mariee & Lewis Fowler - an alt-country songwriting duo with roots in London & Vienna. It was a desire to hone their skills as songwriters and learn from the best that led Isabella & Lewis to a career defining four-week pilgrimage to Nashville in 2013. Never before had the advice and kindness of strangers meant so much, they experienced the true spirit and support of Nashville. Two Ways Home lived the Nashville circuit and were welcomed with open arms. This inspirational journey convinced them to pursue their ambitions and they are now actively gigging around the UK. Fresh from a tour in May and the release of their latest EP Better Days featuring the singles 'Just For Now' & 'Still in Love'.
