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.

Hank Sinatra w/ Jeffrey Dean Foster and the Arrows
Raleigh, NC – After a few years on hiatus, Hank Sinatra—the high-octane rock-n-roll racehorse of the North Carolina music scene is officially back in the stable and ready to run. The band has announced a string of upcoming performances featuring a refreshed lineup of Triangle music veterans and a gritty, reinvigorated sound. Fixtures of the “twang-core” scene, Hank Sinatra has spent years blending hard Southern rock with a signature double shot of sarcasm. This return to the stage isn’t just a reunion; it’s a rebirth. On the heels of recent collaborations with the likes of Lenny Kaye and Tan and Sober Gentlemen, the band is set to debut music that fuses their classic edge with an exciting new energy. “There’s a different kind of fire in the room these days,” says founding member Jeff Holshouser. “We’ve taken the time to sharpen the sound, and we’re ready to bring that electricityback.” The current iteration of Hank Sinatra comes fully loaded with a number of the Carolinas top players, bringing together members of some of the region’s most influential acts. Jeffrey Dean Foster is a rugged individualist whose music speaks to the soul and comes from the heart. He’s got a knack for crafting emphatic songs with emotion and steadfast tenacity. It’s a riveting work, and in spite of its brevity, it rings with a rugged resilience that drives the emotions to full flourish. Recorded in lockdown, Foster plays practically all the instruments with production and engineering assistance from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter, among others. So too, with its steady stream of unrepentant rockers, it’s a sturdy reminder of the wealth of reasons why Foster is so deserving of wider recognition.

Kristy Cox (Trio)
Kristy Cox is a commanding presence in both the Australian and American bluegrass scenes, celebrated for her elegant, heartfelt, and deeply authentic approach to the genre. Often hailed as the “Queen of Bluegrass,” she first rose to prominence in Australia’s country music world before capturing U.S. audiences with multiple Billboard-topping bluegrass releases. Fronting a powerhouse trio, Kristy delivers a thrilling mix of hard-driving bluegrass, country, folk, and Americana, anchored by dazzling musicianship and rich, soul-stirring harmonies. Rooted in tradition yet bursting with fresh energy, their performances are equal parts electrifying and joyful, winning over audiences wherever they go.
The Tray Wellington Band
Banjo player Tray Wellington’s approach to the quintessential American instrument is all about looking forward. An International Bluegrass Music Association Award winner, Wellington is critically acclaimed not only for his technical prowess, but also for leveraging his unique point of view to craft a one-of-a-kind voice on the instrument. It’s a feat that’s all too rare in these roots genres that seem to value emulation and regurgitation over all else. Instead, Wellington has time and time again reasserted that his playing style, and all of the many varied and disparate parts that combine within it, is wholly his own – and it’s unconcerned with tradition.

Colby T. Helms & The Virginia Creepers
You can take Helms out of Virginia, but you can’t take Virginia out of Helms. His songwriting incorporates waltzes, ballads, and old-school rhythms that once formed the backbone of Appalachian dances but have become rare in modern roots music. Songs like “Fool’s Gold,” “Voices Shot,” and “Ballad of the Bondurant Boys” pay tribute to those traditions, while tracks like “Welcome to the Freak Show” serve as a mission statement, reminding us that regardless of background, geography, or circumstance, everyone deserves a seat at the table. “Backwoods or suburbs, you know we are all just the same,” he sings, “’cause no matter where you come from, we all got red blood and it’s coursing through all of our veins.”
