Combining intelligent, provocative lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel good groove, this is music for the thinking man to shake his stuff to. Think Jason Mraz meets The Cat Empire…on a protest march…at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Billy Rowan, aka The Undercover Hippy, is definitely not your average singer songwriter. His music brings together elements of folk, hip-hop, and reggae with the lyrical delivery of a skilled MC. Playing with a full band, mixing guitars, keys, drums, bass, percussion and backing vocals, Billy creates a high energy, interactive and highly entertaining live show.

Billy and his band have performed at some of the UK’s best festivals, including Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Green Man, The Secret Garden Party, Sunrise Celebration, Ireland’s Electric Picnic, and many more. 2015 has so far seen them tour Scotland, headline Eden Festival alongside The Cat Empire and The Skints and play to thousands of new fans at Penabilli Festival in Italy, and looks set to be their busiest year to date.
