Pageant w/ Oceanic
Pageant is a blues-influenced, glam rock band, based in High Point, NC. With Roxxi Dirt on bass and vocals, Dylan Dynasty on drums, and Dezzy Foxx on guitar, Pageant strives to shine a new light on the classic sound of rock n’ roll. Their music is inspired by rock legends such as Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, and Cinderella, while also having a deep love for every genre of music. Pageant’s unique sound aspires to contribute to the new generation of rock and create a sound that is unique, yet familiar. They pride themselves on providing a listening experience that’s exciting, raw, and exhilarating. Pageant was formed online in 2020, during the peak of the pandemic. Like many other musicians during quarantine, they made use of time at home by writing songs over the phone. Recorded in a makeshift home studio, their first songs were written and released as demos on YouTube in September 2020. After lots of time, reformation, and dedication, they traveled to Durham, NC in late 2022 to record their first official album with producer Scotty Sandwich which was released in August of this year. After conquering legendary venues across the country, spending countless hours together writing music, and a long journey to get where they are right now, we hope their next stop is being played as loud as possible through your speakers.

Jeffrey Martin X The Turkey Buzzards
As a babe Jeffrey Martin sought out solitude as often as he could find it. One night he stayed up under the covers with a flashlight and a DiscMan, listening to Reba McEntire’s ‘That’s the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia’ on repeat until the DiscMan ran out of batteries. That night he became a songwriter, although he didn’t actually write a song until years later. Eventually he found his way to a writing degree, and then a teaching degree. His students were fierce and unstoppable forces, and for all that they took from him in sleep and sense, they gave him a hundred times back in sparks and humility. Alas, music, the tour life, was a constant raccoon scratching at the back door. Jeffrey spent nights on end staring off into the dark, wondering if he could bear to leave teaching to go on tour full time. Eventually his brain caught up with what his guts had known for months. Jeffrey Martin tours full time these days. He prefers to drive if he can help it. Flying feels like the microwave of transportation. Driving is a slow cook over a wood fire. Martin currently lives in Portland, OR where most of his home time is spent wandering the neighborhoods with his good dog Jones, eavesdropping for song content. He finished recording a NEW ALBUM in January 2023, due out in the fall of this year. “Much like the duo themselves, the songs range near and far. From the sticky humidity of North Carolina to the dusty cellars of the West, The Turkey Buzzards tell simplistic stories that unravel through gritty vocals and thoughtful harmonies. The carefully crafted guitar riffs set against a solid bone bass stretch out across an American landscape with enough depth to sink well beneath the skin.”

Jonathan Scales Fourchestra
You’ve heard this before, but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough to describe. Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a soundscape of solitude, the power trio of electric bass (E’Lon JD), drums (Maison Guidry), and steel pans(Jonathan Scales) combines elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock, peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk. From club and festival stages across North America and Europe, and tours of Africa, Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural Ambassador for the US Department of State, to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla Fleck, the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are… even if just for a precious moment”Béla Fleck knows a thing or two about establishing an identity in the jazz world while playing an unusual instrument. So it makes sense that the banjo player would bond with a young jazz musician whose speciality is an unusual instrument: steel pannist Jonathan Scales. “I see a kindred spirit in him.” Fleck says”-Downbeat Magazine “…joyously inventive…”-JazzTimes “To say I am impressed would be a gross understatement! Wow, Jonathan!”-Béla Fleck “At the end of the day Scales is going to be a major player in rewriting the books on steelpan music outside the box.”-When Steel Talks
