Thousands of country, rock, blues and Americana fans descended on a Kent park this weekend to celebrate the best of American counter-culture.

Black Deer, a three-day music festival at Eridge Park in Tunbridge Wells, returned this weekend (June 14 to June 16) in full force, despite some drizzle from the great British weather.

This year saw an exclusive UK festival performance from Grammy-nominated blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa.

The line-up also included country duo The Shires, American guitarist Seasick Steve, singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright and Latin band Hermanos Gutiérrez.

Chart-topping singer Sheryl Crow, who is best known for singles All I Wanna Do and If It Makes You Happy, also gave fans a sensational show as she headlined the Saturday night.

The festival also put on plenty of outdoor activities for families, including zip wires and tree climbing, as well as live fire BBQ cooking, a Gospel Brunch and a custom motorbike display, which is a staple of the event every year.
