Rodes Baby is a North Carolina based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Blending folk influences with 90s-esque indie rock, Rodes Baby crafts powerful yet vulnerable music full of earworm hooks and gut-punch phrases, painting a picture of the raw and visceral experience of young adulthood. Their debut full-length album All Of My Friends is produced by Alex Bingham (Hiss Golden Messenger, The Dead Tongues) and features collaborations with Skylar Gudasz, members of American Aquarium, and Mipso. All Of My Friends strikes a chord deep in the heart, creating reverberations that resonate long after the first listen. Their vision is tear-blurred, but absolute, and as colorful as the tenacious kind of imagination that makes it out of childhood alive.

Canine Heart Sounds are a Durham North Carolina music quartet, originally formed in Duluth Minnesota in 2007. The group draws heavily upon influences of progressive rock, jazz, soul & experimental new music. For example, only one of their members actually likes Phish, & two of them went to college, but all of them like Keith Jarrett. Okay, A typical live performance often finds the group AB-SO-LUTE-LY shambling from improvisational instrumental pieces to traditional song-forms with multi-part vocal harmonies. Canine Heart Sounds released their third full length album, Sun Size Guitar in 2022 & are preparing to record an album of original instrumental music at Betty’s Studio in 2023.
