Dacus – who played on and helped produced jasmine.4.t's debut record You Are The Morning as well as playing her own secret session – actually brought Jasmine Cruikshank to the festival for the first time back in 2018. "I drove here and arrived half an hour early to do guest banjo, and that’s also how I met Julien Baker," Cruikshank recalled before launching into a cover of one of Dacus' most beloved songs.
Incredibly, Cruikshank almost had to cancel her appearance due to an injury a few days prior. “I was trying to impress my girlfriend at the skatepark,” she told Best Fit after her pop-up performance. "I was on a half-pike and fell on my side. I almost cancelled before I realised that I could still play guitar," she explained.
Her cover was part of a secret session for Best Fit at End of the Road, which also saw pop-up sets from The Orchestra (For Now), Throwing Muses, Truman Sinclair, Squid, Tyler Ballgame, Jake Xerxes Fussell, The Sophs, Ellie O'Neill, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Silver Gore, Lily Seabird, and Stewart Lee with Black Country, New Road.
Best Fit's secret sessions have become a key part of End of the Road each year, bringing together artists from across the line-up in a series of short sets, exlusive cover, collaborations, and live interviews and Q&As. Past guests have included St Vincent, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Moses Sumney, Laura Marling, Patti Smith, and Frightened Rabbit - who played a now iconic version of "The Modern Leper".
End of the Road returns next year for it's 20th anniversary edition, with headliners Pulp, Mac DeMarco and CMAT already announced, alongside one other secret headliner.
