THE BELLYACHERS
Though raised on the rock of the 70's and 80's -- both commercial and college radio -- all four members of The Bellyachers have a deep, abiding love of classic country as well. Their music brings those influences together with lush harmonies inventive arrangements, stellar musicianship and no small amount of pathos.

LORETTA LYNCH
With soaring three part harmonies, high and lonesome mandolin, powerful rhythm and dreamy slide guitars and more, Loretta renders stirring and saucy songs about love and sex and death bound to reach the shady grove in all of us. Think “O Brother Where Art Thou" meets the Andrews Sisters at a warehouse hoedown.

THE FAMOUS
“The Famous arrange a standoff between the Pixies in a cowboy hat and Hank Williams on speed, six-shooters loaded with punk and rockabilly, and whaddya know - that bastard alt-country genre gets shot square in the forehead, with a stray bullet no less.” —West Coast Performer
