                                <description><![CDATA[This record shouldn&#8217;t exist. But somehow after 17 years it does. Tiger Bear Wolf&#8217;s third self-titled LP completes a trilogy begun decades ago.&#160;This record shouldn&#8217;t exist, but It had to... Formed in the summer of 2002, Greensboro NC's Tiger Bear Wolf emerged from the fetid wastes of the Piedmont to make their prints across the United States. The quartet of Jonathan Moore (guitar, vocals), Noah Howard (guitar, vocals), Matt Bostick (bass) and Lawrence Holdsworth (drums) self-released their debut album in 2003 and found refuge alongside fellow truth seekers Hello Sir Records of Athens, GA for their second LP in 2005. Twisted riffs of southern rock, fed on a steady diet of hardcore and psychedelic post-punk all filtered into their raw recordings and pummeling live shows. Relentless touring followed, that both sharpened senses and dwindled accounts, and the four entered a prolific creative period penning music for what would be their third album. Basic tracks for the third Tiger Bear Wolf album were recorded in 2009 between the sweltering heat of a collective performance space and an attic bedroom. It was there the trail went cold. Time and distance intervened, and hard drives gradually succumbed to devilry and malign influences. The record was lost, said to be unrecoverable, and the story was over. Fast forward to 2015, where a savior emerged to retrieve the lost data, almost completely intact from its silicon sarcophagus against moonshot odds. Just for the love and belief that there was something worth saving. In the years that followed, these tracks took on a new life as guitars and voices were recorded in various states and hideaways with members now located in Greensboro, Louisville and Baltimore. What was nearly lost to the sands of time oozed vitality under the careful watch of the band and it&#8217;s enablers at both Howard&#8217;s Calogera Audio and producer Joel Hatstat&#8217;s Athens, GA studio . After 16 years of patient labor, doubt, hope, fellowship, inspiration, invention, revelation, and faith the long lost Tiger Bear Wolf record was somehow completed. The document finds the group at the full breadth of maturity and creativity for the time of its recording, while also fully colored by perspectives and techniques developed in the succeeding years. What we have here is the music as it was meant to be heard, fully realized with power and subtlety, the heart, tongue, and fang.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Conjuring a unique but universal language from that most ubiquitous of instruments, the acoustic guitar, Tony McManus has both extended and transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and predecessors alike alongside the guitar world&#8217;s all-time greats, his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora &#8211; Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec &#8211; along with still further-ranging flavours, such as jazz and east European music. Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the delicate, complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes &#8211; even the phrasing of a Gaelic song &#8211; onto his own six strings, McManus is increasingly being acknowledged also as a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres. Born in 1965 in Paisley, near Glasgow, his surname the legacy of an Irish grandfather, McManus was introduced to traditional music via the family record collection. Having first tried his hand at the fiddle, whistle and mandolin, he took up the guitar aged ten, although subsequent academic inclinations got him halfway through a PhD in maths before the music won out. After rapidly making his name as an unusually fluent and sensitive accompanist, he took the solo plunge with a triumphant main-stage debut on the final night of Glasgow&#8217;s inaugural Celtic Connections festival in 1994, supporting Capercaillie in front of a 2500-strong crowd. Over the years, Tony has recorded a catalog of dazzling albums, both solo and with friends, delivering a breadth of artistry and performance which conjures up images and themes of the traditional music of the Celts along with more global influences from far and wide.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The pride of Detroit, Mac Saturn stands as a testament to resilience and the unbreakable bonds of musical brotherhood. Emerging from adversity stronger than ever, the five-piece rock band blends soulful swagger, Motown-infused grooves, and kinetic live energy that turns every show into a dance floor. Frontman Carson Macc&#8217;s smooth, Jagger-meets-Harry Styles vocals pair with Nick Barone&#8217;s searing guitar riffs, backed by Angelo Coppola (drums), Mike Moody (guitar), and Ian Lukas (bass), creating an infectious sound rooted in Motor City tradition but brimming with fresh vitality. With over a decade of musical partnership between Macc and Barone, Mac Saturn distinguished themselves early with their 2022 EP Until the Money Runs Out, which featured fan favorites &#8220;Diamonds&#8221; and &#8220;Mr. Cadillac,&#8221; amassing millions of streams. Their debut full-length, Hard To Sell (2024), produced at Detroit&#8217;s legendary Rust Belt Studios, cemented their place in the city&#8217;s rock lineage with standout tracks like &#8220;Get On The Phone,&#8221; &#8220;Young In Paradise,&#8221; and &#8220;Junkie.&#8221; Though their album release was overshadowed by the arrest and departure of a former keyboard player, the band chose renewal over retreat, taking 18 months to reflect, rebuild, and sharpen their creative bond. Now returning as a five-piece, Mac Saturn is ready... &#160; Mac Saturn&#160;supports&#160;Darkness&#160;to Light&#160;- 50c of every&#160;ticket&#160;sold will be donated to help their cause.

                                <description><![CDATA[Redbud is a bluegrass band based in Boone, NC, honoring traditional bluegrass while blending in a fresh, modern style. As a group of young musicians, they create a warm, inviting sound that reflects both their deep respect for the genre&#8217;s roots and their passion for innovation. Set to release their debut EP in June 2026, the band&#8217;s collection of all-original tunes offers a fresh take on time-honored bluegrass traditions, capturing the spirit of Appalachia while carving out a sound uniquely their own. &#160; Lillian Hackett is an emerging singer-songwriter from Lovettsville, VA. Her deep appreciation for music started at a young age as she was immersed in a vibrant music scene within her community. Weekends spent attending barn dances, folk festivals, and bonfire jams enriched her musical style and exposed her to the heritage of old-time and bluegrass music. Often described as an Appalachian Stevie Nicks or distant cousin of Sierra Ferrell, Lillian has a natural inclination toward Folk/Americana music. &#160;]]></description>

His music is bolstered by a smooth understated tenor voice, moody colorful arrangements with earnest lyrics. Whether behind a guitar or a synthesizer, his music is full of clever restraint, energy and mood.&#160; &#160; After spending a decade living in France he was exposed to the indie-funk/disco scene and it left an unmistakable mark on his music. His album Shadowdancer (recorded in France) reflects this sound and it's breakout single "Playing with Fire" has been streamed over 4 million times. &#160; &#160;In summer 2026, he's releasing his third album "Superdomestic" with the single "Balloon" along with dates along the east coast.&#160; Aaron Rizzo is an independent rock artist from Rochester, New York whose original work has fostered acclaim from listeners all over the globe.

Each one of his records explores a different corner of his ability, all with two common denominators &#8212; prolific songwriting and articulate guitar work. In addition to his own catalog, he has recorded and produced countless songs for other artists. He has composed original scores for two short films, one of which that went on to win Best Score at the Sick &#8217;N Wrong Film Festival.]]></description>

The band&#8217;s approach to music is collaborative, shaped by their basement jams and experimental spirit.

                                <description><![CDATA[Fonville x Fribush is the brand new musical collaboration from acclaimed drummer Corey Fonville (Butcher Brown) and in-demand organist Sam Fribush. Like a hip-hop link up from the 90s, the pair&#8217;s collective ear, musical talents and friendship pushes the limits of the R&#38;B organ trio sound into a more youthful, tasty style of blue collar jazz. Fonville x Fribush features a rotating cast of guitarists both in studio and live in concert, including Charlie Hunter, Alan Good Parker and Morgan Burrs. Songs like &#8220;I Couldn&#8217;t Love You More&#8221; and &#8220;Blue Chips&#8221; immerse audiences in Atlantic Coast soundscapes of their hometown roots in North Carolina and Virginia. Listen to the debut Fonville x Fribush EP &#8216;R&#38;B Organ Trio&#8217; featuring Charlie Hunter out now everywhere.&#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Mason P. Winfree is an award-winning old-time musician and flatfoot dancer who has earned numerous ribbons, including first-place honors, at bluegrass and old-time fiddlers&#8217; conventions across North Carolina and Southwest Virginia, such as the Galax Old Fiddlers Convention and the Mount Airy Fiddlers Convention. Over the years, he has performed with several groups and has shared his craft by teaching and showcasing flatfoot dancing both nationally and abroad, including on PBS&#8217;s Song of the Mountains. * &#160; 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 life 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 wherever she goes. Jack Romano &#38; The Romanaires create a mythic sound of the 20th century as a backdrop for stories from modern American life. &#160; Jack was born in the New Jersey highlands, a unique cultural&#160;region whose "hill people" share as much in common with Appalachian communities in West Virginia as with cities like New York City and Philadelphia. He grew up listening to artists like Johnny Cash, John Denver, and Gene Autry, alongside Frank Sinatra,&#160;Dion &#38; the Belmonts, and The Spinners.&#160;&#160; &#160; His independently-produced, debut single &#8220;Haunted Man&#8221;, which&#160;is from the perspective of a mournful-yet-determined man to reflect on his past mistakes, captured the attention of young online country music audiences,&#160;in particular, young men. His work led to a deal with producer Max Shrager of Studio Zoe (associated with That&#8217;s Love Records) in Princeton, NJ. Several recordings were made with&#160;reel-to-reel, analog technology and feature The Romanaires: Liam Bornovski on the pedal steel, Patrick Graham Mellor on the telecaster, Matt &#8220;Papa Soul&#8221; Sommerfield on the bass, and Jon Schneider on the drum kit. The release is expected in 2026. &#160; "Timeless sounds, real songwriting, exceptional showmanship. If these can be achieved, we will salvage music from the grifters, the phonies, and the robots, and return it to where it belong]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Sam Morrow&#160;has sound that exists outside of genre and geography. It's his own version of modern-day American roots music: a mix of roadhouse rock &#38; roll, bluesy R&#38;B, and country-fried funky-tonk, driven forward by groove, grease, and guitars.&#8220;A sinewy, head-nodding listen&#8230;demands to be played loud at parties.&#8221; -&#160;Rolling Stone "The record is buttressed by two strong singles: the keyboard-heavy opener &#8220;By Your Side&#8221; and the driving, twangy &#8220;Medicine Man,&#8221; both perfectly showcasing Morrow&#8217;s whiskey-soaked, rich vocals, bringing to mind the ghost of Leon Russell, offering a powerful one-two Tyson-worthy punch opening the record."&#160;- GLIDE"It&#8217;s certainly the best rock album this year." -&#160;Farce the Music &#160; Time Sawyer&#8217;s name reflects the pull between the past and the future. The character Tom Sawyer evokes the rural background and love of home that the band shares. Time is a muse for songwriting; it&#8217;s the thread that runs through life, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency, while still connecting us with our past. The folk-rock band has performed on the stages of some of the Southeast&#8217;s most iconic festivals, including Merlefest, Floydfest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Albino Skunk Music Festival, and Carolina in the Fall. They&#8217;ve shared bills with American Aquarium, John Craigie, Hiss Golden Messenger, Langhorne Slim, John Moreland, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Wood Brothers, Susto, and many more.&#160;&#160;]]></description>

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.

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>

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.

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.
