Hayes Carll
Singer and songwriter Hayes Carll blends rock & roll swagger, country storytelling, and folk introspection. Known for his skillful takes on both boozy debauchery and relationship woes, Carll broke into the Americana scene in the early 2000s. His self-released 2005 album Little Rock was a critical and commercial success. With acclaimed albums like KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) (2011), Lovers and Leavers (2016), and You Get It All (2021), Carll continues to captivate audiences while staying true to his roots.

Courtney Marie Andrews
Courtney Marie Andrews found self-love and her voice in a Cape Cod beach shack during the summer of 2020. After a decade on the road, the Phoenix-born songwriter took time to reflect and meditate, leading to a sense of new beginnings. Produced by Sam Evian, her album Loose Future (out October 7 on Fat Possum Records) is a record of triumph, featuring harmonies and alternative percussion. This album follows her GRAMMY-nominated 2020 release, Old Flowers.
