                                <description><![CDATA[Tommy Prine is a Nashville-bred songwriter carving out his own identity with unflinching honesty, dynamic guitar work, and a voice that bridges Americana, indie folk, and Southern storytelling. Following the breakout of his acclaimed debut album&#160;This Far South&#160;and the momentum around his new EP&#160;Love Circle&#160;(out now), Prine has emerged as one of the most compelling young artists in the scene &#8212; known for emotionally charged live shows, sharp songwriting, and a rapidly growing fanbase across the U.S. and Europe. &#160; West Virginia songwriter and piano bard Brad Goodall established himself as a vivid storyteller with his 2022 debut Made In America, which boasted uproariously satirical character studies of sad, desperate men in the vein of Randy Newman and Warren Zevon. Where that album unfolded like a collection of biting short stories, his latest Hometown plays out like an autobiography..]]></description>

He discovered his love for creating music almost by accident, only picking up the guitar in 2006 as a hobby to pursue as he slowly lost his vision to a degenerative retinal disease. But what started as a hobby eventually became an obsession. Today, Tyler spends most of his days hacking his way through technology that was never truly designed for the blind in an effort to create music that is simultaneously substantive and catchy.

                                <description><![CDATA[Fancy Gap&#8211;singer/songwriter Stuart McLamb (The Love Language) and songwriter/producer Charles Crossingham&#8211;today shared their stirring new single &#8220;Gold Coast.&#8221; Capturing both the closeness of love and the ache that distance brings, the emotionally resonant track was originally envisioned as a driving rock song, yet took a new direction when McLamb recorded a one-take performance&#8212;just guitar and voice, captured live on a single microphone. &#8220;It was just supposed to be a test to see if the song would work stripped down,&#8221; he recalls. &#8220;But when Charles heard it, he said, &#8216;There&#8217;s something magic here. Don&#8217;t lose this feeling.&#8217;&#8221; The duo built a lush but understated soundscape around the unfiltered performance to create a recording&#8211;mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Craig Alvin (Kacey Musgraves, Real Estate) at Nobel Steed Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL&#8211;that feels like a memory unfolding in real time. &#8220;The song is about what happens when you keep chasing a new horizon but can&#8217;t shake what you left behind,&#8221; says Crossingham. &#8220;You can hear that tension in the way it breathes&#8212;it never tries to be perfect; it just feels honest.&#8221; &#8220;Gold Coast&#8221; is out now alongside a videocrafted by acclaimed editor Jessica Ledoux (Netflix&#8217;s All the Light We Cannot See, HBO&#8217;s Vinyl), who wove together years of McLamb and Crossingham&#8217;s own camera footage into a deeply personal visual collage. &#8220;This video isn&#8217;t about us as a band; it&#8217;s about everything that makes life worth writing songs about,&#8221; says McLamb. Crossingham adds, &#8220;The song and video feel like your life flashing before your eyes. It&#8217;s powerful to see all those years of footage woven together into one big memory. I&#8217;ve known Jessica since I was 15, so collaborating on this with her felt full-circle. Stu had a great vision for what this could be, and it all just clicked.&#8221; Fancy Gap&#8217;s self-titled debut album was released last year to praise and support from FLOOD Magazine, Indy Week, Big Takeover, Twangville, and Analogue, among others, as well as performed on PBS North Carolina&#8217;s Shaped By Sound. The album, also mixed by Alvin, featured additional contributions from Sharon Van Etten, Taking Back Sunday&#8217;s Adam Lazzara (vocals on &#8220;Filthy Habits&#8221;), Will McFarlane (Bonnie Raitt, The Mountain Goats, Etta James), Rami Jaffee (The Foo Fighters, The Wallflowers), and Jon Graboff (Willie Nelson, Noel Gallagher, M. Ward, Norah Jones). The band has also performed with artists including Old Crow Medicine Show, The Nude Party, American Aquarium, Futurebirds, Susto, and more.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[A Tribute to Dylan &#38; Cash celebrates the legacy of two American giants. Created by Award-winning songwriter Rod Abernethy, recipient of 2019 Grand Prize winner of American Songwriter's Bob Dylan Song Contest and David Burney, frontman of the acclaimed touring band Johnny Folsom 4. Together, they bring the lyrical genius and unmistakable voices of Dylan &#38; Cash to life with unforge@able performances, rich storytelling and visuals. It's a moving journey through the music, history, and the enduring friendship of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Rod Abernethy is an authenFc southern folk troubadour, master acousFc guitarist, and award winning songwriter and composer for film, TV and video games. Rod&#8217;s awards include the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 InternaAonal AcousAc Music Awards. His album Normal Isn&#8217;t Normal Anymore received rave reviews from No Depression, American Highways and The Wall Street Journal and was in the Top 20 CD of 2021 at No. 11 on the Folk InternaAonal Folk Charts. David Burney&#8217;s lilFng southern baritone delivers Cash&#8217;s classic songs so well you may well wonder from Fme to Fme if Johnny himself is in the building. David has been the lead singer for Johnny Folsom 4 for over a decade and while nobody really sounds like Johnny Cash, nobody sounds more like Johnny Cash than Johnny Folsom 4. No Depression magazine says &#8220;For those of us unable to have seen Cash perform during his life, this is more than a treat. It&#8217;s a Ame machine. When it comes to honoring Johnny Cash, JF4 walks the line.&#8221;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Texas-born Jaimee Harris and North Carolina&#8217;s Wes Collins are joining forces for the Folk&#8217;N Friends Tour. Their sounds&#8212;Harris&#8217;s emotionally raw small-town narratives and Collins&#8217;s surreal, deep, and uniquely catchy songwriting&#8211; combined make for a moving night of heartfelt storytelling. You won&#8217;t want to miss this collaborative song swap-style show infused with a decade of friendship and mutual musical admiration. Wes Collins writes songs that dig deep and go to uncertain, sometimes scary places. Come for a haunting melody and some intricate fingerpicking and stay for the wit and deep literary intelligence. There is always more to&#160;find in a Wes Collins song. A former librarian and avowed record nerd, Wes can imitate the sound of outmoded computer voice simulations. He hasn&#8217;t found a way to make that pay yet. &#160; Jaimee Harris&#8217;s sophomore effort, 'Boomerang Town,' marks a bold step forward for this country-folk-leaning singer-songwriter. It is an arresting, ambitious song-cycle that explores the generational arc of family, the stranglehold of addiction, and the fragile ties that bind us together as Americans. &#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Murphy Campbell has deep roots. Western North Carolina is a place her family settled centuries ago. Born in the foothills and coming from a long lineage of mountain folk - she seeks to draw up the remnants of a forgotten modal sound. Long-time friends and collaborators Emily Mann and Wila Frank, known together as Paper Wings, dream up warm, pastoral folk songs suited to wandering through a forest or field, quiet contemplation, and long winding journeys. Furnished with delicate banjo and spellbinding harmonies so close you often can&#8217;t tell their voices apart, Frank &#38; Mann deliver dynamic performances emboldened by the strength of their sincere songwriting. The duo have an uncommon ability to tastefully reference nostalgic sounds of American folk music while maintaining their own compelling style of artful and unpretentious lyricism. The strength and solitude one finds in the wilderness is a theme throughout their writing, and they lovingly transport listeners to open landscapes in which to find comfort and ask the questions which we all have in common. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Originally from North Carolina,&#160;Spencer Bland is a comedian and writer that wants you to know his last name has no effect on his comedy. Now based in LA, he has been featured on Netflix Is A Joke Radio on SiriusXM, the All Fantasy Everything podcast, and is a featured performer at comedy festivals across the country. As a professional dork, his dedication to useless things has led him to work on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. One fan from Wilmington described his comedy as &#8220;Moderately funny. Too much sex and too loud.&#8221; Come see for yourself! &#160; John Thornton is a local standup comedian, a lover, a close, personal friend of Jay-z, and the director of a local non-profit that works with the homeless called Held. Some of this isn't true. He's been doing standup for over 15 years all over North Carolina and loves performing in Greensboro. In July of 2025, the non-profit he's a director of hosted a comedy show fundraiser featuring SNL's Andrew Dismukes and James Austin Johnson in downtown Greensboro.&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[River Shook is an artist in constant evolution. After a decade spent making their mark oncountry music, River Shook is closing the door on their first project (Sarah Shook &#38; the Disarmers) and entering an exciting new era, debuting as a solo artist. River&#8217;s reputation for writing strikingly honest and transformative lyrics and their penchant for tapping elements of indie rock and pop music have forever cemented them as a country artist who exists to energetically push the boundaries of their genre into the future. River has delivered high-energy performances with the Disarmers at major festivals like SXSW, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Under The Big Sky, Pilgrimage, and the Long Road in the UK. They&#8217;ve supported Willie Nelson, Tyler Childers, Lucero, and the Indigo Girls. They&#8217;ve sold out headlining shows in venues from New York City to Los Angeles, from Barcelona to Stockholm, and many more. River&#8217;s "Talkin' To Myself" was the theme song on the Apple TV+ show High Desert and two of their songs (&#8220;New Ways To Fail&#8221; and &#8220;Keep The Home Fires Burnin&#8217;&#8221;) were featured in the 2021 movie Lorelei, starring Pablo Schreiber and Jena Malone. River and the Disarmers will appear as themselves in the Kyle Gallner/Samara Weaving/Kyra Sedgwick upcoming film Carolina Caroline with several songs featured in the film as well. River will also appear as themself in an Ethan Hawke-directed/Rolling Stone-produced documentary about Merle Haggard alongside legends like Steve Earle, Phoebe Bridgers, and Willie Nelson, later this year. To promote the last Disarmers record Revelations, the New York Times ran a full artist profile on River Shook (the article appeared in print and online). Prior Disarmers releases garnered accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Paste, PopMatters, No Depression, and the Wall Street Journal. The Disarmers&#8217; sophomore album Years was named Best Rock Album of 2018 by the Chicago Tribune. When they&#8217;re not writing for their debut solo album, River is back on the road backed by a full band of heavy hitters, a growing collection of never-before-heard songs, and a sterling reputation for raw, emotionally charged performances. River continues to captivate audiences and connect with new fans with an unmistakable sound that appeals to a wide-spectrum of music fans: classic country purists, indie rockers, pop lovers, and beyond. Their handpicked band is stacked with badass talent and musical prowess, from the hypnotic drums to the ripping lead guitar, from the soul-grounding bass to the heart-soaring pedal steel. Onstage and off, River Shook isn&#8217;t just an artist - they&#8217;re a force of nature]]></description>

She spent her formative years in southern West Virginia where she literally LIVED inside a music school. Deeply incapable of leaving the Appalachian mountains, but needing an escape from her 6,000 person hometown, she landed right around the bend in Asheville, NC.&#160; When McKinney isn&#8217;t on stage you might find her teaching music lessons at LEAF Global Arts, working shows at The Orange Peel, or at lock on the rugby pitch.&#160; McKinney's music genre is about as fluid as the average Asheville resident's sexuality. Her Indie Pop sound is blended with influence from her blues singer mother, a BFA in Jazz, and the 8 year old version of herself that just wants to play classic rock. Although pinning down her genre may be hard, you can consistently expect sad lyrics. You will probably enjoy her lyricism if you are emotionally suppressed and enjoy listening to sad songs to make yourself feel better.&#160;&#160; MAMA is a Soul Shakin' Blues project from Asheville, NC. Fronted by Melissa McKinney, a vocalist known for her raw power, emotional delivery, and genuine connection with her audience, the band is quickly making a name for themselves in the blues world.

                                <description><![CDATA[There is no question that Willy Tea Taylor&#8217;s life as a singer/songwriter was predetermined &#226;&#8364;&#8220; his role realized the moment he wrote his first song. His inspirations drawn from two separate wells; Living the life of a cattleman&#8217;s kid and experiencing true visionaries music like Greg Brown, John Hartford, and Guy Clark. The image of Guy Clark and friends sitting around the kitchen table loaded with ashtrays full of butts, half-smoked cigarettes, food, and booze on one Christmas Eve in 1975 burned into Taylor&#8217;s soul. Those guys, swapping songs without pretense, lit Willy Tea&#8217;s fire. And ever since, its led purpose with passion &#226;&#8364;&#8220; finding a hang by curating relationships through musical friendships that get him closer to his own Clark style kitchen table. From his early days co-fronting The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit, to singing solo in countless cowboy bars, to pitching countless wiffle ball games, Willy Tea has never lost the vision. Now Willy Tea Taylor has taken his vision of the &#8220;hero hang&#8221; on the road. and his talented traveling band The Fellership is made up of his fantastically talented buds who play Willy&#8217;s songs with a brand of reckless abandon and utter humility that spits in the face of pretense. The way The Fellership plays Will&#8217;s songs is the way they demand to be played and, in their short time together, they have been awe-ing every audience lucky enough to see them. Folksinger Jodi Jones is determined to boldly dream a better tomorrow in the wake of a broken and weary world. Deeply rooted in the musical traditions of her childhood home in the hills of Western Pennsylvania, her work is a poetic and unflinching account of the beauty and hardship of working class experience in America. With defiant wit and innate musicality, she beautifies the bitter truths of our modern age into song as an act of love and solidarity. Art may not save us from our problems, but Jones believes it is crucial to surviving them with our humanity intact. To sing is to live, to live is to hope, and to hope is to find the strength to fight another day in these dark and uncertain times. With guitar, banjo, fiddle, and even dulcimer in hand, she seeks to alchemize pain into purpose and break old ground to plant new seeds of hope and change.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[In a genre full of tall tales and marketable lies, New Orleans&#8217; Chris Acker crafts candid songs &#8211; weaving his wit and woes into a body of work that exposes the stale plight of the American Songster to the honest, and sometimes hilarious, light of day. In the tradition of Guthrie and Prine, Chris lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable and unrefined. Regardless if you&#8217;re sitting by a backyard fire on a muggy Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far flung town, when you hear Chris Acker playing, you&#8217;re hearing the end result of countless hours of observing the masters of the craft&#8230;and the end result of repeating their mistakes. From the folk revival through the golden age of country music, deafened by punk shows and brass bands alike, Chris&#8217;s songwriting is a nod to the absurd yet muted brilliance that inhabits the molded corners of the bars he patrons and cratered street he treads, paired with a pained honesty that merits a long second look. Acker released his fourth full-length album, Famous Lunch, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back, country-rockers like &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t Do For You (Buddy)&#8221; and &#8220;Shit Surprise&#8221; (which Paste Magazine called a &#8220;song of the year contender&#8221; in 2024), a few raucous, bar-ready joints like &#8220;Don&#8217;t You Know (Who I Think I Am)&#8221; and &#8220;Bunn Machine&#8221;, and tender, folky triumphs like &#8220;Stubborn Eyes&#8221; and &#8220;Eyelash&#8221;, all showcasing Chris&#8217; gift of building &#8220;vivid scenes at an impressively low word count&#8221; (No Depression).&#160; Acker tours solo or with his band The Growing Boys &#8212; Zach Thomas (bass), Nikolai Shveitser (pedal steel), Dave Hammer (guitar, vocals), Sam Gelband (drums, vocals), and occasionally Howe Pearson (piano).]]></description>

Willie Shane Johnston is from Grenada, Mississippi. Between Grenada and his father's hometown of Clarksdale, there was ample influence of Delta Blues. As a child his grandmother gave him his first harmonica, and lessons, but asked him to keep it a secret since some family members viewed blues as "the devil's music".&#160; Willie has played blues from Florida to International festivals in Canada; New York to Colorado. He has recorded 4 albums. He has opened for Delbert McClinton, Buddy Guy, ZZ Top, George Jones, Shamekia Copeland, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Hubert Sumlin, R.L. Burnside, John Hammond and many other artists. Over the years, his bands WSNB, and The Red Dirt Revelators have won every single blues society competition in North Carolina, and Cape Fear, SC. WSNB placed third in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN, with a performance at the historical Orpheum Theatre.&#160; Willie continues his pursuit of writing, recording, and performing blues music at every opportunity.&#160; Abigail Dowd&#160; Our fearless host who still enjoys music most when it&#8217;s embedded in real life, sitting around a fire or every third Tuesday night at the Flat Iron. Each month Abigail invites musician friends to fall into space with her and the audience for what she describes as an evening in her adopted living room.

                                <description><![CDATA[Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, The Rough&#38; Tumble and Flagship Romance combine for a night of high energy, four part harmonies, infectious hooks and a roomful of laughter. It took over 10 years and 500,000 miles of touring the indie/folk circuit and seeing each other&#8217;s posters on venue walls before the two bands met. But it only took one meeting before they&#8217;d started a text thread and concocted the idea of the Rough Romance tour. It&#8217;s a night of open-armed, deep-in-the-belly-songs that are as intimate as they are universal and as delightful as your first cup of coffee. It&#8217;s a jubilant show that has become thehighlight of the year for many people to watch these four accomplished musicians and friends share the stage.&#160; &#160; Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for their breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live show, and a remarkable on and off-stage chemistry that will leave you with the feeling that you made two new best friends. Married singers-songwriters Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson effortlessly fuse technical precision in their impeccably tight vocal blend with an invigorating sense of emotional abandon in their energetic live persona. Performing each show as if it could be their last, this duo will have you questioning how their larger-than-life sound can come from just two voices and an acoustic guitar. &#160; The Rough &#38; Tumble are a hardscrabble folk/Americana duo, made up of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler. With accordions and guitars, close-harmonies, ukuleles and oddball percussion, their commanding stage presence and engaging performances have made them a not-to-miss band when they tour through town because you won&#8217;t see the same show twice. They have been embraced by fans for their stark honesty, unique storytelling and well-crafted melodies especially after 2024&#8217;s release, Hymns For My Atheist Sister and Her Friends To Sing Along To, a collection of deeply personal, unifying and uplifting, humanist gospel songs.&#160;]]></description>
