Tyler Ramsey is a fingerstyle guitarist and a captivating voice in modern indie folk, based outside of Asheville, North Carolina. Ramsey gained recognition as a key member of Band of Horses contributing to their soaring sound across three studio albums. As a songwriter and guitarist, his intricate playing and introspective lyricism became a defining element of the band’s music. With masterful guitar work and a gift for storytelling, Tyler Ramsey continues to carve out his own space in the world of modern folk and indie rock. He has released a series of critically acclaimed albums, including “For the Morning” (2019), which showcased his signature blend of fingerpicked guitar, pedal steel, and atmospheric rock textures, and “New Lost Ages” (2024), produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins), hailed by Americana UK as “a gentle indie-folk gem”. The project captured Ramsey’s evolution as both a songwriter and musician, balancing moments of quiet introspection with grand, sweeping arrangements.

Blue Cactus w/ Romona & the Holy Smokes
Rooted in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Blue Cactus cut their teeth on honky-tonk circuit, forging an electrified twang that blends folk, alt-country, and psychedelic rock. Across three critically acclaimed records, the band has built a devoted following throughout the South and beyond, pairing introspective songwriting with blistering guitar work that resonates as powerfully on stage as it does in the studio. Their 2025 album Believer was featured on Bandcamp’s Best New Country list and led to appearances at SXSW, Hopscotch Festival’s main stage alongside Geese and My Morning Jacket, and PBS’s original series Shaped By Sound. From intimate clubs to major festival stages, Blue Cactus is known for performances that forge a genuine connection with audiences wherever they play. Based in Central Virginia and with family roots in South Texas, Ramona and the Holy Smokes represent a new generation of honky tonk music. With powerful female vocals that cover an emotional range from determined to comic to vulnerable, and a talented backing band steeped in classic country and western styles of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the band exhibits a “clarity and sincerity that bring Patsy Cline to mind” (Nashville Scene, 2025). Fronted by Ramona Martinez, whose songwriting has earned her recognition from Wide Open Country as one of the “15 Latino Artists Shaping Country Music,” this Charlottesville, Virginia-based band is rooted in the traditional sounds of country music but unafraid of pushing boundaries and highlighting the connections across border cultures.

The Great Outdoors w/ The Bradley Turner Trio
From the heart of Nashville, The Great Outdoors has grown from a circle of best friends into one of the scene’s most dynamic new bands. Their story is one of connection—six musicians from across the country drawn together by a shared devotion to the jam, the groove, and the unpredictable beauty of live improvisational music. Each member carries a different piece of America in their playing: the ocean air of New Jersey, the warmth of North Carolina, the edge of Nevada, the rhythm of New York, and the soul of the Midwest. Together, they create a sound that’s expansive yet intimate—where roots rock collides with improvisation, and every performance feels like a new discovery. As a jam band, The Great Outdoors thrives on the unknown. No two shows are ever the same—songs evolve, moments stretch, and audiences become part of the conversation. Their music flows like a living thing, guided by instinct, friendship, and the shared pulse between stage and crowd. For The Great Outdoors, music is more than a setlist—it’s an open space where memories, miles, and melodies meet. Step into The Great Outdoors—where sound, freedom, and friendship are endless.

Everything Yes
Everything Yes is a North Carolina based jazz-fusion group that grew out of the creative chemistry between friends who first connected in university. What started as late-night jams and throwing wild ideas at each other quickly became a band defined by one simple rule: say “yes.” Every idea, every experiment, every spark of inspiration — if someone brought something to the table, the answer was yes. That spirit eventually became the band’s name. Spearheaded by drummer / YouTuber, Zack Grooves, who has over 440k subscribers, the band features Cole Sipe on bass, Reggie McNeill on keys, Sean Reeseron tenor sax, and Nathan Graybeal on alto sax. Everything Yes is powered by genuine friendship. Their music blends jazz, funk, gospel, progressive rock, and improvisation into a sound that’s energetic, playful, and always evolving. Their live shows feel like a reunion of friends who trust each other enough to take risks and have fun doing it. As they continue touring and building their audience, Everything Yes stays rooted in the same foundation that began it all: creativity, openness, and saying “yes” to the moment.
