Suffolk has a rich history of producing incredible musical talent and that is continuing with current musicians and bands announcing their plans for 2023.
With Ed Sheeran coming from Framlingham, The Darkness hailing from Lowestoft, Charlie Simpson (Busted) coming from Woodbridge, and upcoming artist Dylan from Bures on the Suffolk border, the county has a good name for creating some of the best artists.
Indie band Arctic Monkeys also partially recorded their new album, The Car, at Butley Priory near Woodbridge.
What can you expect from some Suffolk musicians and bands in 2023?
Adam Thomas
Adam Thomas said he has had a "troubling" 2022, but in the upcoming year, has said he will be "stronger and more dedicated than before".
He said: "The next year will be more focused on presenting me solely as an independent singer-songwriter.
"I've really enjoyed performing cover songs which everybody knows and loves alongside my original music, but now it's time to be me and show the world what I have to offer."
Mr Thomas has said you can expect to see him more locally in Suffolk in the next 12 months, after touring the country and Europe in previous years.
Grace Calver
Grace Calver had a very successful 2022, releasing three singles, all of which combined for a total of 59,000 streams.
She also had support from BBC Introducing with her live session included on national social media and supported Alfie Templeman and Toploader.
In 2023, Grace has plans for a five-track EP early in the new year, and she will be performing more over the year, with gigs already planned for the county and around the UK.
She also has two "major" announcements but they are both confidential until the new year.
IndiaRose
In 2022, IndiaRose from Ipswich released her first single 3am Calls, which has gone on to reach 2,000 streams on Spotify.
In 2023, the 18-year-old is releasing her second single, Compliment, which is out on January 11, and says she has more singles planned and potentially a debut EP.
She said: "I will also be supporting some local artists as well as playing some venues on my own and I will look to grow my name, potentially look into merchandise and collaborate with other artists."
The Joe Keeley Band
The Joe Keeley Band had a successful 2022, releasing a new EP following chart success with their first album.
In 2023, they have gigs already booked in over the year, with performances at the Smokehouse in Ipswich on March 25, VooDoo Daddies in Norwich on April 29, Three Wise Monkeys in Colchester on May 5 and legendary music venue that has seen the likes of Coldplay, The Killers and Blur, Dublin Castle in Camden on May 4.
Joe Keeley said: "We are looking forward to playing new venues and working with some new bands and artists in 2023.
"We are really happy with how our EP is performing so now we're committed and focused on putting on some really exciting shows."
Ashton Jones
Ashton Jones had a successful 2022, including on stage at the London Palladium performing a selection of 70s, 80s and 90s soul songs.
Mr Jones, from Ipswich, said: "Top priority for me is writing album number two, so I expect to be in the studio for a large part of winter going into spring.
"I have lots of gigs in Europe booked and will be looking to add more to the diary, especially with Harry Greene and our Funk Soul Orchestral show.
"There's one particularly exciting track that I was lucky enough to be involved with which is dropping in 2023. I can't mention the details yet, but I look forward to being able to talk about it soon.
"Other than that there's lots of cool gigs peppered across the year, along with some TV and radio work. 2023 is shaping up to be sweet."
