Amanda Cook is a writer/musician/lover of books who’s been busy busy busy working on a few projects. She has won things (Juno, Dove), lost things (Juno, Dove, her mind), tried things (cooking, horseback riding, being on time), failed things (being on time, horseback riding, keeping a fern alive), and succeeded at a few things (starting over, evolving, getting in a good bedtime routine). Music is her go to mode of transportation and connection.
She has released several albums that explore the intersections of faith/doubt, love/loss, hope/despair, and fun/notfun. She makes music under a few monikers (Amanda Cook, Falcon, Ile Des Chenes) because it’s an amusing thing to do. Her hope is in Jesus and americanos in the morning. She enjoys writing songs that feel helpful, healing, and read like a poem with or without sound. Her latest offering, “Survey: Part 1”, was released earlier this spring.
Amanda resides in Los Angeles with her little, struggling, surviving family of house plants. (The fern sadly didn’t make it, RIP).
From delicate acoustic songs to jazz and hip-hop infused pop, Jonathan crafts musical soundscapes that invite the listener on a journey.

Her musical inspiration is eclectic, from soul and RnB to jazz to classical to singer-songwriter, and this diverse array of musical influences has resulted in a diverse sound within her own writing and music. Lucy has recorded four albums to date and has collaborated with artists across the UK, US, Brazil and Europe, including Matt Redman, Graham Kendrick, Paul Baloche, Ana Valadao and Sinach. Lucy performs and leads regularly at live events across the UK and beyond, including Spring Harvest, David’s Tent, Big Church Day Out, Prom Praise in the Royal Albert Hall, and of course, Creation Fest – a festival that is very close to her heart!
Blessings, my name is brother Noble and my passion is to see my generation empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the will of the father. I’m 21 years old, & I’ve been walking with the Lord for 3 years now and I’ve seen the power of God in ways I’ve never imagined. My heart is to see his sons and daughter set free healed and walking in power & love. I have a Grace on my life that impacts the youth & God is taking the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, all for his glory! We all are called to a deep relationship with the father and many of our identities have been lost and destroyed. My commission is to bring those that are in the dark, into his marvelous light! In Jesus name.
Cornwall based married duo, Our Atlantic Roots (Mac and Laura Johnston) bring an uplifting blend of American & British alt-folk, with harmonies that are rich, dynamic and unite beautifully. The couple started songwriting together 10 years ago after meeting in North Carolina. Mac’s guitar playing is full of character and accompanies lyrics that are both poetic and direct, hopeful, and authentic. The duo has been praised by hit songwriter Mark Cawley (Tina Turner, Paul Carrack, Kathy Mattea) for their skillful writing and by folk patriarch Geoff Lakeman for their live performance. Mac and Laura present a blend of the cultures they are individually from, by merging various genres characterized by their country and folk roots. With over 3.7 million streams and hundreds of live shows under their belts, as well as national BBC TV and countless BBC Introducing features, they are an emerging act that are well worth keeping an eye on. Their new EP ‘Memories Live On’ releases spring 2024 and they will be touring throughout the UK this year.

Rural born singer-songwriter and producer, now based in Devon, Tom has a habit of writing songs about hope, resilience, and the weather, taking inspiration from counter cultural themes such as selflessness and forgiveness. In the studio he creates layered, wild and rugged folk-based songs, carefully woven together into a thoughtful and detailed tapestry of sound. Meanwhile, his live solo performances, armed with just a guitar and harmonica take on a wildness th
at vamps beyond traditional song structures. His lyrics are there to be explored, hiding deeper meaning and presenting poetic truths with humility and honesty.
In 2019 Tom released his debut album MY PEACE WILL COME as a follow up to his EP Courage. Both are available on Spotify/Youtube/Bandcamp/etc. Or visit tomhartleybooth.com
The atmosphere at Creation Fest is so relaxed and fun you leave feeling refreshed and encouraged to the max!
