                                <description><![CDATA[You can take Helms out of Virginia, but you can't take Virginia out of Helms. His songwriting incorporates waltzes, ballads, and old-school rhythms that once formed the backbone of Appalachian dances but have become rare in modern roots music. Songs like "Fool's Gold," "Voices Shot," and "Ballad of the Bondurant Boys" pay tribute to those traditions, while tracks like "Welcome to the Freak Show" serve as a mission statement, reminding us that regardless of background, geography, or circumstance, everyone deserves a seat at the table. "Backwoods or suburbs, you know we are all just the same," he sings, "'cause no matter where you come from, we all got red blood and it&#8217;s coursing through all of our veins."]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The&#160;Local Honeys&#160;blend traditional Kentucky music with modern soundscapes and original songwriting. Fuzzed out guitar and a vibey rhythm section set the sonic bedrock to showcase the entwinement of old-time banjo and fiddle styles at the forefront of their sound. The&#160;Honeys understand the complexities of contemporary Appalachian life and their music is reflective of such through raw and emotive songs. The narratives and perspective they weave into song, the deep understanding and endearment they share for hillbilly music, and their undeniable charm make it clear the duo is poised to become defining voices of a new Appalachia. &#160; Grace&#160;Rogers is a musician &#38; writer from Kentucky having just released her debut full length album Mad Dogs (Sophomore Lounge, 2025).&#160;Grace Rogers blends rock, country, and traditional influences into tunes that, in the words of Leigh Viner, "hum like hymns and drive like rain." Pitchfork named Mad Dogs one of the 30 best Rock Albums of 2025, and Stereogum writes, &#8220;Rogers has the kind of talent and irrepressible personality that makes a singer-songwriter stand out in a crowded field.&#8221; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Magenta Wave is a rock band based in Seattle, Washington. After forming in the city of Bellingham in 2022, the group quickly progressed from running their own house-shows to performing at established local venues such as The Wild Buffalo and the Blue Room.&#160; Renowned for emotionally charged vocal melodies and evocative guitar solos, the band&#8217;s sound continues to develop as they write relentlessly in the garage of their shared home. &#160; Relocating to Seattle in the fall of 2023, the group hit the ground running, and recently cemented their name as a staple in the scene with a sold out EP release show at The Tractor Tavern.&#160; &#160; Since the release of their debut single in early 2024, the band has amassed over two million streams to date. With a national touring presence now established and new music on the way, the band is excited for what the rest of 2026 has in store.&#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[ORDINARY ELEPHANTMesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on anever-ending tour that&#8217;s earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread criticalacclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017, the pair&#160;took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their&#160;breakout album, Before I Go, and two years later, they returned with the similarly lauded&#160;Honest, which the Associated Press hailed as &#8220;one of the best Americana albums of the year.&#8221;The duo hasn't slowed down, earning consecutive International Folk Music Award nominations&#160;for Album of the Year in 2024 for their self-titled release, and then Artist of the Year in 2025.This latest eponymous record is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the&#160;arresting power of the couple&#8217;s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs aretimeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances are similarlytransportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin. Though the&#160;songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty, the record itself is a work of profound&#160;self-assurance, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody thelimitless possibility of honest, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant, or&#160;attend a live performance, and you&#8217;ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you&#8217;ll hear thesound of sincerity and commitment, of patience and gratitude, of learning to let go of&#160;expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The Larry Keel &#38; Jon Stickley Duo features two of the finest flatpicking guitarists of this generation. Both share a lifelong love of acoustic bluegrass guitar music made famous by influential duets Doc and Merle Watson, and Tony Rice and Norman Blake. Keel, Stickley, and other modern flatpickers like Billy Strings grew up studying these legends. These masters were role models who provided inspiration to both Larry and Jon to pursue careers as professional guitar players. Each has gone on to pioneer his own distinct interpretation of the bluegrass artform, as well as fusing genres from roots, jazz, prog, and beyond. Now, Keel and Stickley have themselves become new masters of acoustic guitar. With this act, the two celebrate the pure joy of playing acoustic guitar music as a duo, effortlessly complementing each other&#8217;s rhythm and lead playing while never losing their own individual personality. Their sophisticated and awe-inspiring performances suit an array of venues including festival stages, listening rooms, private functions, and nightclubs. At the core of the Keel/Stickley Duo is an intimate conversation between two guitars and voices, done with superior skill and taste, with more than a hint of explosive late-night-jam vibe.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Since its 2007 genesis at the hands of founding members Jon Case and Jason Ward, Irata has mutated relentlessly. Through four previous records, the band has never sat idly in any specific style, while maintaining a signature mesmerizing, grinding pulse between bass and drums that permeates an enigmatic vision of heavy rock. After releasing &#8216;Tower&#8217; in 2019 as a four-piece, Irata is once again a trio, and continues to push forward into new sonic territories. On &#8216;Human,&#8217; the band is building on the structures that have created some of its enduring favorites &#8212; namely, thundering bass riffs, hypnotic drums, and grandiose choruses. They do not sacrifice expression for refinement, but manage to have it both ways. Their progression is evident in the patience with which &#8220;Altar&#8221; leads off, a melodic confidence that overarches the eight included songs, and the atmospheres in pieces like &#8220;Slipped&#8221; (see &#8220;pulse&#8230;&#8221; above) and the expansive finale &#8220;Daystar,&#8221; but none of &#8216;Human&#8217; is so overblown as to give up its organically dynamic nature. And perhaps in an era marked by the advent of machine-made art, &#8216;Human&#8217; can be as much a statement of purpose as a declaration of self. In any case, with this collection of songs, Irata&#8217;s focus on vocal melody and intricate riffing distinguish them from a crowded underground sphere. The record moves as two sides of one image, opening with reflections of a final chapter, and closing with reflections of a new beginning through transformation; a story being told as it&#8217;s lived. What could be more human than that? &#8216;Human&#8217; was recorded with longtime friends Hunter Allen and Adam Joyce of The Bronzed Chorus at Amplified Acres in Liberty, NC, and mixed by J. Robbins at The Magpie Cage in Baltimore, MD.]]></description>

In the past the musicians have aptly melded these styles, creating a unique amalgam of sounds. This time they wanted to take each sound and style and push it to its logical extreme.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Brooklyn&#8217;s Kaleta &#38; Super Yamba Band are fronted by Afrobeat and Juju veteran Leon Ligan-Majek a.k.a. Kaleta. The singer/guitarist from the West African country of Benin Republic lived his adolescent life in Lagos, Nigeria where Afrobeat was born. Kaleta's guitar chops earned him decades of touring and recording with Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Lauryn Hill and more. Kaleta got his start in the late 70s performing in church and was soon after picked up by iconic Juju master and world music pioneer King Sunny Ade. A few years later Fela Kuti came calling. Kaleta would go on to tour the world playing guitar for the King of Afrobeat in his storied band Egypt 80 through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Now based in New York City, Kaleta has been leading Super Yamba Band since 2017. Their debut album 'M&#232;daho,' which was released by California indie label Ubiquity Records, draws on the group&#8217;s shared reverence for the raw, psychedelic sounds that captivated Kaleta as a music loving kid in 1970s Benin. M&#232;daho means "big brother", "elder" or "teacher" and is dedicated to Kaleta's late brother Ligan-Ozavino Pascal who introduced him to funk and soul music at a very early age. The album was included on Bandcamp's &#8220;Best Albums of Summer 2019&#8221; list and two of the songs were chosen for the ABC/Hulu series High Fidelity staring Zoe Kravitz. Kaleta and his band have also erupted onto the stages and video screens of major music festivals and music publications across the US. They performed at the historic Apollo Theatre in 2019. They even prompted Action Bronson to stop his own show on VICELAND TV just so he could hear more Yamba. They also performed on Adult Swim's Fishcenter Live show in 2019. In 2017 they rocked Paste Magazine&#8217;s Emerging Music Festival in NYC and after that performance Afropop Worldwide fell in love with Kaleta, saying &#8220;his James Brown grunts have got to be some of the best in the business!&#8221;]]></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[Desmond Myers is an Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and producer. 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. His music has appeared on television shows such as Shameless, Black-Ish and in a T-Mobile ad. In the spring of 2025, Rizzo appeared on NBC&#8217;s hit television show The Voice, where he worked closely with Canadian singer Michael Bubl&#233;. A guitar player by nature and a singer by trade, Aaron Rizzo writes, records and produces music for himself and others in Atlanta, Georgia where he is based. It&#8217;s here that he has sharped his toolset, making him a Swiss Army knife of a musician that can thrive in just about any environment. To date, Rizzo has recorded four full-length solo albums that eloquently showcase his diversity as an original artist. 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>

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>
