LineUp

Tune-Yards' album Better Dreaming blends infectious art-pop and funk with themes of self-love and liberation. Hailing from California, Merrill Garbus and bandmate Brenner craft rhythmic, danceable tunes while their 3-year-old adds vocals. Known for albums like Bird-Brains, they skillfully blend rhythm and activism into their work.
Tennessee-born Amythyst Kiah merges rootsy alt-rock and darkly cinematic styles. Her 2021 album "Wary + Strange" made Rolling Stone’s top 25 Country and Americana list. Her latest work, created with producer Butch Walker, showcases her storytelling and includes fuzzed-out guitars and graceful banjo.
Sunny War, born Sydney Lyndella Ward in Nashville, revitalizes folk and blues with modern themes. Known for tracks like "With the Sun," she built a following after battling substance abuse and relocating to Venice Beach. Her self-released album "Worthless" and EP "Can I Sit With You" earned critical acclaim. Sunny occasionally plays in her punk band Anus Kings and has been praised by LA Weekly.
John Moreland, born in Bixby, Oklahoma, is known for folk-rock. He recorded the introspective Visitor album at home, playing most instruments. Collaborating with wife Pearl Rachinsky and John Calvin Abney, Moreland's style echoes his earlier works, featuring popular albums like In The Throes and High On Tulsa Heat.
Acclaimed guitarist Marc Ribot's "Songs of Resistance 1948 - 2018" merges WWII Italian, U.S. civil rights, and Mexican protest songs. Collaborators include Tom Waits and Steve Earle.
Chicago-born Ryley Walker is a fingerstyle guitarist blending folk, jazz, and experimental sounds. Known for solo work and collaborations, he reimagined Dave Matthews Band songs.
GRAMMY-nominated Mary Gauthier, born in the US, is celebrated for her powerful Americana songwriting. Known for hits like "Rifles & Rosary Beads," her work has been recorded by Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton. She regularly performs at The Grand Ole Opry and has won acclaim for her unsentimental self-reflection. Mary collaborated with veterans for her Grammy-nominated album. Her music features in shows like HBO's "Yellowstone."
Watchhouse, the North Carolina duo of Andrew Marlin & Emily Frantz, are known for their poignant songwriting and root music that resonates with younger audiences. Gaining acclaim from Rolling Stone and NPR, they've played sold-out shows at Red Rocks and Ryman Auditorium. Starting in local venues, their profound chemistry and masterful songs explore life’s mysteries and joys, amassing hundreds of millions of streams.
Iron & Wine, led by Sam Beam, hails from South Carolina and is known for intimate indie folk with albums like "The Creek Drank the Cradle" and "Our Endless Numbered Days." Beam's versatile style ranges from lo-fi to polished sounds, collaborating with artists such as Calexico, Band of Horses' Ben Bridwell, and Jesca Hoop. His work often touches on introspective and political themes, earning critical acclaim. Notable tracks appeared on soundtracks like "Garden State." The band's music continues to evolve, maintaining Beam's rich vocals and engaging lyricism.
