Several North American artists on roots-oriented Rounder Records will improve their U.K. profiles in the coming weeks. Rosie Flores, the Woodys, and Lynn Miles play in a triple bill at Dingwalls in London on Tuesday and at Glasgow's Big Big Country Festival the following night. Canadian Miles releases the single "Sunset Boulevard" from her album "Night In A Strange Town" on Rounder's Philo imprint on May 10; the track has already been playlisted by national AC outlet BBC Radio 2.
Rounder artist Heather Myles visits the U.K. June 6-8 for shows in Glasgow, Sheffield, and London; at the June 8 show at London's Borderline, she will be presented with the British Country Music Award for best artist on an independent label by Radio 2 presenter Bob Harris. Rounder's product is distributed in Britain by Direct Distribution.
