There was no time for birthday hangovers to throw the good people at Forest Folk and Roots off their game – as soon as the first anniversary celebrations were done last month, they were straight back at work sourcing more good stuff for you.
And this month, that good stuff presents itself when they showcase Bedfordshire's own My Girl The River.
Kris Wilkinson Hughes, originally from Louisiana, and English bassist Joe Hughes are the creative force at play here.
'Kris has a voice like sugared espresso, low and evocative with a sweet aftertaste and her eloquently confessional lyrics hit you right in the heart,' declared one fan.
That's a different sort of caffeine boost, right there.
The debut album This Ain't No Fairytale is out now and boasts anecdotes, half-truths, white lies and fables – inspired in the main by Kris' time spent growing up in the deep south.
So far as the sounds go, you are talking alt-country through to folk, American and roots.
A little something to suit plenty of musical palates, and it's music that has been created with fairy dust and magic, we are assured.
If you like Johnny Cash, the appeal of Lucinda Williams, and something fresh for today, Kris and Joe can give you a lot of what you fancy on Friday (June 17).
They were set to visit the FF&R base at The College Arms Bar in Cranfield, but the weekend's torrential rain caused flooding which put paid to that. Instead, you can now catch them in the decidedly snug replacement venue OSO Coffee and Cakes at 119B High Street, Cranfield.
They will be nicely warmed up too - fresh from a date at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Support is down to Steph Scott who releases her debut EP this summer.
Doors at 7.30pm, tickets are £10 (£5 for students).
