Sister Sirens of Swamp Rock BEAU + LUCI enchant audiences with hypnotizing harmonies and bluesy melodies steeped in the mystery and folklore of the Okefenokee Swamp. Their inherent spirituality and innate storytelling combine an undeniably gutsy, roots-bound groove with lyrics reminiscent of those heard in a forgotten speakeasy of decades past.
Hailing from historic Charlottesville, Virginia in 2015, The Barons combine youthful themes of love and fear with their ethereal, booty shakin' music. 8 released singles are currently to the band's name with their newest funk-wave single 'American High' receiving much praise both in studio and on the road.

Energetically honoring the sound of traditional bluegrass and mountain music, with threads of singer-songwriter, rock, and jam band music woven throughout, The Wooks are as at home on a festival stage as they are in a barn in the heart of Kentucky's horse country. The Wooks: CJ Cain (Lead Guitar), Arthur Hancock (Guitar), Harry Clark (Mandolin), Roddy Puckett (Bass), were born over some 20 years time somewhere between an Irish pub, a barbecue joint, and a festival jam circle. Inspired by legends and trailblazers like Crowe, Whitley, Simpson, Bush, Stapleton, and Rice who cut their teeth on stages throughout the Bluegrass Region, The Wooks translate the sights and sounds of the people, hills, bars, roads, and creeks around them into songs and shows that captivate. With both respect for their heritage and innovative originality, The Wooks are the natural evolution of a sound that has always been there.

Toubab Krewe, a vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more. While nearly impossible to put into any box, it takes only a few moments to realize in a very palpable way that one is face-to-face with a true original who recognizes no borders in a march towards a muscular, original, globally switched-on sound.
Sweetwater's 420 Strain G13 IPA is an aromatic super-hybrid sticky IPA is first and foremost a phenomenally delicious and drinkable beer, with the added bonus of an olfactory experience that mimics that of the legendary G13 cannabis strain.

Her second album, My Life, was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Contemporary Folk Album category.
The press on her current release says it all - “It’s heady, heart-stopping stuff.” - Boston Globe - “As pure and piercing as they come.” - No Depression "Iris DeMent makes music that celebrates humanity's efforts toward salvation, while acknowledging that most of our time on Earth is spent reconciling with the fact that we don't feel so redeemed." – NPR Music

It’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that’s exactly what makes a true anomaly. This multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and as you can imagine, after two decades and over 2000 shows, it is a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release, Go Climb a Tree, their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers.
