The Stolen Faces deftly capture the spirit of the Dead, covering theband’s expansive catalog and delivering it with the sort of energy and spontaneity that might have you thinking you’re standing in theWinterland Ballroom in 1973!

Folkknot is a seafaring six-piece band based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Never afraid to sail against the wind, Folkknot crafts enchanting indie-folk-pop-rock escapism that beats back against the mainstream current of our modern era, harking at the essence of folk storytelling elements from yesteryear.

Honeyknife & When We’re Sober
Honeyknife is Atlanta, GA’s true, new, premier alternative rock band. The 4 piece was formed in late 2023 after lead singer & songwriter Luke Latimer spent the spring of that same year recording what is their self titled, debut record “Honeyknife”. Latimer brought the songs he’d been crafting and compiling over the years into Big Trouble Recording (Located in Little 5 Points, ATL) & with the help of Daniel Gleason (Producer, GROUPLOVE) and TJ Elias (Engineer, Mixer) the project was completed over the course of 2 months. Due to Latimer playing all the parts except for drums in the studio, (courtesy of session drummer Benjamin Homola, GROUPLOVE) the band had to be built subsequently. He recruited Gabe Sweeney (Guitar), Joe Dempsey (Bass), and Ira White (Drums) to fill their respected roles and make the project an actual band. The 4 members all share influences and love for the 90’s Seattle Sound (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains) as well as the early 2000’s rock they all grew up on (Queens of the Stone Age, Deftones). Latimer is a true songwriter at heart, but don’t let the heart on his sleeve fool you. Expect loud but captivating live performances that are steered by the untamed energy captured on stage between the band. Formed as a songwriting collaboration between Grey Hyatt & Erich McPhail, the Greensboro, NC duo quickly grew into a full band following the release of their debut EP The Bottle in July 2022. Backed by Luke Rettie on Drums, Tony Luz on Lead Guitar, and Kenny Damron on bass, the quintet set about playing live shows while fleshing out a collection of songs soon to be recorded as their debut studio album in early 2023. A few line-up changes soon followed as Kenny moved and was replaced by bassist Lucifer Josts, & Erich stepped away from playing live shows to focus on writing/recording with the band. Tony would also move away in late 2023, but not before tracking solos for the upcoming album. Currently playing live as a trio, the band recorded its new record as a quartet.
