                                <description><![CDATA[&#160; DR. BACON is a 4 Piece touring Appalachian Rock, Funk, Grass and Soul band. Blending diverse instrumentation, inspirations, and influence allows the band to perform a synthesis of styles creating a unique musical expression. The Dr. Bacon live experience is truly a spectacle to behold, bringing the audience on a musical journey, caressing ears with lush beauty then whipping crowds into a down-home tribal romp, shaking booties and shedding inhibitions. An undulating wave of energy and styles leads to massive and manic versatility ensuring that no matter what genre of music suits your taste, you will hear something that resonates. Bacon goes good with everything! Dr. Bacon started in 2012 on King Street in Boone as a 3 piece busking acoustic bluegrass, folk, and 90s pop/rock/hip-hop influenced band. Several lineup changes over the years and a move to Asheville have refined and redirected the bands sound, incorporating funk, rock, soul, psychedelic, improvisation, blues, punk and world music. The blending of several elements of these genres, often within the same song, along with an arsenal of instrumentation brings the real Dr. Bacon flavor. The band tours regularly, up and down the East coast and beyond. With 3 EPs and two length albums under their belts, Dr. Bacon performs an original focused setlist with a rotating and evolving palate of choice covers. Never performing the same set twice and constantly working towards the next musical achievement means that each show is a beast unto itself where you&#8217;ll never know what new tricks are in store. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Chris McGinnis writes songs that exist somewhere between a hiccup and a heartache. His most recent EP, Songs For You, touches on the peculiarity of your hometown morphing beyond recognition. It tells the story of two Baby Boomers falling in and out of love across time zones and decades. It's about connection and disconnection alike. With the release of his debut full-length album Mamaw's Angel, Chris veers deeper into these familiar themes. Through tales of stolen Winnebagos and hip-shaking grandbabies, Chris' music is Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century. &#160; Will Easter&#160; &#160; Coming of age in a hardworking, musical family, living in harmony with the land and the river, Will&#160;Easter&#8217;s passion for music may have been a given, but his talent and lyricism is what has him sharing the&#160;stage with acts like 49 Winchester, Town Mountain, David Childers, Tommy Prine, and Ronda Vincent. He has also played many notable festivals, including FloydFest, Shakori Hills, Boonerang, Doc and Rosa Lee Music Fest, and is the winner of the 2022 Merlefest band competition.&#160; &#160; Mason Winfree&#160; &#160; 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 both nationally and abroad, including on PBS&#8217;s Song of the Mountains.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[When taking on the moniker Chicago Farmer, singer-songwriter Cody&#160;Diekhoff aimed to not only showcase the dichotomy of his life and travels &#8212; growing up in the tiny Illinois farm community of Delavan, and calling &#8220;The Windy City&#8221; home for several years &#8212; he also wanted to honor his past through his uplifting, introspective melodies. &#8220;My hometown kind of goes with me wherever I go,&#8221; Diekhoff says. &#8220;All thethings I learned from my grandparents, I take that with me wherever I go. They&#8217;re always in my heart and in my mind.&#8221; Which is why Diekhoff&#8217;s latest offering, Homeaid, puts a spotlight on the old soul nature and deep ethos of compassion and camaraderie that resides at the core of his being. A blend of Americana, indie-folk and roots-rock, the album swirls effortlessly into the ether of a modern world facing uncertain times. As a founding member and co- leader of the Austin, TX rock and roll outfit The Band of Heathens, Ed Jurdi&#8217;s voice, songwriting and musicianship have been key elements in defining the band&#8217;s kaleidoscopic American sound. From festival performances at Bonnaroo, Austin, City Limits, Lollapalooza, Wakarusa, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to over a thousand one nighters in clubs and theaters across the United States and Europe, Ed Jurdi has been a fixture in the Americana world and beyond for the better part of two decades. Originally from the Boston area, Ed Jurdi has forged a sound both rooted in the past and pointing toward the future. An ardent student of the masters of American music, he brings the passion of a gospel sermon and juxtaposes it against a gathering of merry pranksters with a soulful delivery and timeless voice. Ed has called Asheville and the mountains of Western North Carolina home for the better part of a decade after spending eight years in Austin, TX]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Though best known as the drummer/harmonizer for beloved piano-rockers Ben Folds Five, Darren Jessee makes more understated, textured singer/songwriter fare both as leader of Hotel Lights and as a solo artist. After releasing three albums with "the Five" in the mid to late '90s, he made four acclaimed Hotel Lights records between 2004 and 2016 while logging time touring with Sharon Van Etten and Hiss Golden Messenger performing on Hiss&#8217;s celebrated album Hallelujah Anyhow. He also contributed to The War on Drugs 2017 Grammy winning album, a period that also saw a fourth LP from a reunited Ben Folds Five (2012's The Sound of the Life of the Mind, their debut in the U.S. Top Ten). In 2018, Jessee issued the more delicate -- and often drums-free -- The Jane Room 217, his first official solo album, with which he continued to prove himself an evocative, timeless lyricist. The similarly intimate and expressive Remover and Central Bridge followed in 2020 and 2023. Darren&#8217;s anticipated new solo album is expected in the Spring of 2027.&#160; Natalie Jane Hill is a Texas native guitarist and singer-songwriter based outside of Asheville, North Carolina. She writes songs that reach for the haunted and&#160;comforting corners of the world, dressed in a gently virtuosic and singular approach to finger-style guitar. Her new record, Hopeful Woman, is composed of slender songs, life-sized, in which humans endeavor to reconcile themselves to wildernesses&#160;and cities; rearrange their rooms and open windows to be closer to the world&#160;outside and its choruses of frogs and crickets; attempt and fail to reach one another across a kitchen table; weather natural disaster. If something we might deign to call self-discovery emerges over the course of these narratives, it owes in no small part to the scale of their scenes, to the modesty of their ambitions, in which tumult and adaptation and growth are metabolized through a body&#8217;s gentle actions and&#160;reactions, its moments of quietude and observation and reflection &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Charly Lowry&#160;&#160;(Lumbee/Tuscarora) is an Indigenous singer-songwriter, musician, and artivist whose music lives at the crossroads of Americana, soul, roots rock, and blues.

                                <description><![CDATA[Kieran Kane&#8217;s seminal work in The O'Kanes and Kane Welch Kaplin, as well as co-founding the independent label Dead Reckoning Records, laid the foundation for the contemporary world of Americana music. A successful solo artist, collaborator, and songwriter (with songs recorded by Alan Jackson, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and many more), Kieran is a musician's musician: his playing is always understated, always groove-oriented, and always serving the song.If Rayna Gellert seems a preternaturally gifted songwriter, it&#8217;s because she&#8217;s seen farther into the old songs than most. Growing up in a musical family,&#160;she turned to Appalachian old-time music at a young age, becoming a prodigious fiddler and leading a new revival of American stringband music through her work with the acclaimed roots band Uncle Earl. An in-demand collaborator, she has toured and recorded with artists such as Scott Miller, Abigail Washburn, Joachim Cooder, and Robyn Hitchcock.Kieran and Rayna first met, fittingly, at San Francisco's celebrated Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, which led to their cowriting songs for Kieran's solo album Unguarded Moments. They joined forces again for Rayna's 2017 release, Workin's Too Hard&#160;(StorySound Records), which they also co-produced. Their first duo album, The Ledges, was released in February of 2018 on Dead Reckoning Records, followed up quickly by 2019&#8217;s When the Sun Goes Down. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[As John R. Miller began work on his fifth album, The Great Unknowing, he set out to&#160;challenge himself both creatively and geographically. Born in the Washington, DC area and&#160;raised in West Virginia, Miller has built a reputation as a thoughtful, boundary-pushing&#160;voice in alt-country and Americana, drawing from punk, traditional Appalachian music,and less conventional rock influences. For this record, he left his comfort zone behind and&#160;traveled to Tulsa to record at the legendary Church Studio, drawn by the city&#8217;s deep&#160;musical legacy and its ties to artists like J.J. Cale. Co-produced with longtime collaborator&#160;Adam Meisterhans, the album was tracked live with a band of Tulsa-based musicians,&#160;including Grammy-nominated John Fullbright, under the steady hand of veteran engineers&#160;Gary Laney and Mike Prado. The result is Miller&#8217;s most ambitious work to date &#8212; aspacious, textured collection that expands on the critically praised Depreciated and Heat&#160;Comes Down, blending road-worn storytelling, fuzzy atmospheres, and reflections onmovement, memory, and change. Rooted in his West Virginia past yet shaped by constant&#160;travel and new collaborations, The Great Unknowing captures an artist trusting the&#160;process, embracing risk, and letting the groove lead the way.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Buffalo Wabs and the Price Hill Hustle hail from Cincinnati where they have been crafting a sound that is both rooted in tradition and refreshed by modern sensibilities. This four-piece ensemble confronts the raw expanse of American music, fashioning a live music experience more akin to a bygone era of sweltering summer tent revivals and introspective meditations of the human condition.Leaning into the foundation of folk, old-time, and early country and bluegrass, the Hustle has molded a unique blend of these traditions with contemporary influences of psych rock, raucous performative gyrations, and a growing catalogue of personal storytelling to offer a product solely their own. Strong vocal leads from Casey Campbell, the drummer, and Matt &#8216;Wabs&#8217; Wabnitz, the guitarist, anchor a sonic landscape full of lilting harmonies and powerful counter-melody; and with the multi-instrumental leads of Scott Risner and Bill Baldock abounding the audience is guided through a show that defies most genre labeling and denominations. The Hustle aims to take its&#8217; legions to a churc experience regardless of an individual&#8217;s origins; all are welcome and encouraged to embark on the journey.&#160;The group&#8217;s upcoming recordings and albums expand on the already thick palette by adding new voices and layers, sometimes leading the group to perform as a six-piece ensemble. New music slated for mid-Spring 2026 promises to be both a departure from previous endeavors while holding fast to the core of the passion and performance that has laid the foundation for the past thirteen years, leading to a devoted and committed fanbase across the globe. Jumping from banjos, to fiddles, to electric guitars, to four-part harmonies keeps the audience wholely enthralled with what may be coming next... And with the growing directions of the Hustle, that anticipation will lead folks on a most exciting mission of new music exploration.Born from the tradition of Bluegrass jams and potlucks, The Plate Scrapers -- Derek Kretzer (banjo), Andrew Jordan (guitar), Robbie Mann (fiddle), Jody Mosser (dobro), and Kevin Johnson (bass) -- have been putting in the work and showcasing their love for the genre since 2014. They have since released 4 studio albums, 3 live albums, and have toured relentlessly up and down the east coast and into the midwest. In 2019, they won the Podunk Bluegrass Telefunken Band Contest. They have been featured on WAMU Bluegrass Country Radio, performed as an IBMA Official Showcase artist, and their latest release, Artifacts (2024) had multiple singles on the Airplay Direct bluegrass/folk charts as well as rave reviews from Bluegrass Today. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Rooted in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Blue Cactus cut their teeth on honky-tonk circuit, forging an electrified twang that blends folk, alt-country, and psychedelic rock. Across three critically acclaimed records, the band has built a devoted following throughout the South and beyond, pairing introspective songwriting with blistering guitar work that resonates as powerfully on stage as it does in the studio. Their 2025 album Believer was featured on Bandcamp's Best New Country list and led to appearances at SXSW, Hopscotch Festival's main stage alongside Geese and My Morning Jacket, and PBS's original series Shaped By Sound. From intimate clubs to major festival stages, Blue Cactus is known for performances that forge a genuine connection with audiences wherever they play. &#160; Based in Central Virginia and with family roots in South Texas, Ramona and the Holy Smokes represent a new generation of honky tonk music. With powerful female vocals that cover an emotional range from determined to comic to vulnerable, and a talented backing band steeped in classic country and western styles of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the band exhibits a &#8220;clarity and sincerity that bring Patsy Cline to mind&#8221; (Nashville Scene, 2025). Fronted by Ramona Martinez, whose songwriting has earned her recognition from Wide Open Country as one of the "15 Latino Artists Shaping Country Music," this Charlottesville, Virginia-based band is rooted in the traditional sounds of country music but unafraid of pushing boundaries and highlighting the connections across border cultures. They have appeared at several Americana festivals including Red Wing Roots (2024), Rooster Walk (2025), and Bristol Rhythm &#38; Roots (2025), and has opened for touring artists like Margo Cilker, Colby Acuﬀ, Willi Carlisle, Redd Volkaert, Joshua Hedley, Donna the Buﬀalo, and Kashus Culpepper. Their self-produced debut album, Ramona and the Holy Smokes, a collection of original songs about heartache and resiliency, was released on September 26.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[From the heart of Nashville, The Great Outdoors has grown from a circle of best friends into one of the scene&#8217;s most dynamic new bands. Their story is one of connection&#226;&#8364;&#8221;six musicians from across the country drawn together by a shared devotion to the jam, the groove, and the unpredictable beauty of live improvisational music. Each member carries a different piece of America in their playing: the ocean air of New Jersey, the warmth of North Carolina, the edge of Nevada, the rhythm of New York, and the soul of the Midwest. Together, they create a sound that&#8217;s expansive yet intimate&#226;&#8364;&#8221;where roots rock collides with improvisation, and every performance feels like a new discovery. As a jam band, The Great Outdoors thrives on the unknown. No two shows are ever the same&#226;&#8364;&#8221;songs evolve, moments stretch, and audiences become part of the conversation. Their music flows like a living thing, guided by instinct, friendship, and the shared pulse between stage and crowd. For The Great Outdoors, music is more than a setlist&#226;&#8364;&#8221;it&#8217;s an open space where memories, miles, and melodies meet. Step into The Great Outdoors&#226;&#8364;&#8221;where sound, freedom, and friendship are endless. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Raleigh, NC &#8211; After a few years on hiatus, Hank Sinatra&#8212;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 &#8220;twang-core&#8221; scene, Hank Sinatra has spent years blending hard Southern rock with a signature double shot of sarcasm. This return to the stage isn&#8217;t just a reunion; it&#8217;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. &#8220;There&#8217;s a different kind of fire in the room these days,&#8221; says founding member Jeff Holshouser. &#8220;We&#8217;ve taken the time to sharpen the sound, and we&#8217;re ready to bring that electricityback.&#8221; 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&#8217;s most influential acts. Jeffrey Dean Foster is a rugged individualist whose music speaks to the soul and comes from the heart. He&#8217;s got a knack for crafting emphatic songs with emotion and steadfast tenacity. It&#8217;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&#8217;s a sturdy reminder of the wealth of reasons why Foster is so deserving of wider recognition.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Banjo player Tray Wellington&#8217;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&#8217;s a feat that&#8217;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 &#8211; and it&#8217;s unconcerned with tradition. &#160; Born underneath the Southern sun on the hottest July day, Rachel Gore finds respite in conversations with her ancestors about the cyclical nature of life and death. After earning a degree in Songwriting, winning an American Songwriter lyric contest, and releasing her debut EP Forgotten Woman of Folk while living in Nashville, Gore moved back to her hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina. From the thriving local music scene to the maturation of the faces she grew up with, Gore found herself seven years wiser when she returned to the growing coastal community. &#8220;I pray for the roadkill, I live with my own guilt, I die a death every day,&#8221; Gore sings on her latest single &#8220;The Territory,&#8221; which chronicles her journey of radical self-acceptance in the face of crippling anxiety. Co-produced by Jacob Adams, the song swings through swelling pedal steel melodies behind Gore&#8217;s melancholic voice. Blending the illustrative lyrics of artists like Iron and Wine, the folksy harmonies of Gillian Welch and the timeless ambiance of Neil Young, Gore fosters a sound that is familiar and comforting against thought-provoking lyricism. &#160;]]></description>
