DARCI CARLSON
It is good country. The kind that makes you want to drink Whiskey, and then drink more Whiskey. If Waylon had a daughter, she'd be it. www.darcicarlsonmusic.com
KNUT BELL
HONKAHILLAROCKABILLY...it's like an ol' coal train grumblin' down the side of a mountain...a king crab block buzzing on the Bering Sea...a MS 880 Magnum Stihl (with a 59" bar) roarin' through timber...a sound that permeates Americana! An American/Alt Country Band that performs originals and keeps the traditions of past Greats like Hank, Cash, Waylon, Haggard, Wille and Johnny Horton alive. www.knutbell.com
STACY JONES
Stacy Jones is continually nominated for "Best of the Blues" awards in songwriting, performance, harmonica, guitar and winning vocalist of the year. She has performed at the Chicago Blues Festival, SXSW, in Memphis during the IBC's, and stages all across the country. Her music has been described as "A Whiskey & Water Baptism that lace Blues and Rock edges." “With her feet firmly planted in roots based music, Stacy Jones pays homage to the blues but experiments by mixing in some mild-Americana and subtle country licks. Dynamic vocals fueled by powerful lyrics." "the rolling thunder blues of Howlin’ Wolf mixed with the honesty of Lucinda Williams" www.stacyjonesband.
MASSEY FERGUSON
Singer-bassist Ethan Anderson says the sound is Americana that leans more toward rock than country, and that's a pretty good description. Think Drive-By Truckers or some combination of Son Volt and The Hold Steady. Think Springsteen's "Greetings From Asbury Park" or "Nebraska." Those influences, 1970s Southern rock and good-time classic rock bands like Thin Lizzy, have also helped them to land gigs at festivals and clubs in Australia, Iceland, Germany, England and Mexico. www.
STAXX BROTHERS
The Staxx Brothers are a high energy American band, hailing from Seattle, Washington, that has spent the last seven years crafting an incredible new sound they've branded Hard Ass Soul. It's quite simply the most danceable and hip shaking brand of rock & roll to hit US streets since Motown left Detroit. Where modern Rock most often has forgotten its Roll, The Staxx Brothers make it back to the juke joint, and take you back to the black church, dragging modern rock by its collar right back to its birthright - with an epic flare that matches any of the classics. www.staxxbrothers.com
