https://www.facebook.com/woodenwand “Nothing can prepare you for the sound that comes out of his mouth when he sings-or bellows-his stellar songwriting. It is a soulful power beyond belief.” Paste Magazine “Hands down, one of the greatest, most thoughtful lyricists the state has to offer —certainly one of the most respected songsmiths around. Adam Faucett manages to get under your ribs, effortlessly.” JT Tarpley – Arkansas Times Wooden Wand, a.k.a. singer-songwriter James Jackson Toth, has released a vast amount material under such collectives as Wooden Wand & the Vanishing Voice, Wooden Wand & the Sky High Band, and Wooden Wand & the Briarwood Virgins. Toth’s style has drawn on a variety of both conventional and experimental folk, country and rock influences, including psych folk, acid folk, free folk, and indie. The heavily Neil Young and Crazy Horse-influenced “Briarwood,” released in November 2011, is perhaps Toth’s most lyrically accessible record to date. |

Weaknesses for Blondes blend traditional delta blues and progressive guitar jams with a funky rhythm backbone. Soulful harmonic vocals add to the experience. Mixing a good bit of funk and rock, the band plays primarily their own music which is reminiscent of the artists that influenced the band-The Grateful Dead, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa,The Band and many others. |

https://www.facebook.com/Duckstronaut “Their sound is fun, fresh and effortlessly catchy. They make 60s-inspired music – like so many bands nowadays do – but they do so with a twist: in addition to the unmistakable doo-wop vocals and soft harmonies, they also provide another side to their music which has a raw, Black Keys quality about it.” - Love At First Listen |

Bringing her raucous spin on traditional southern music to honky-tonks throughout the U.S. and Europe, Bonnie’s catalog hails from a place where outlaw country saddles up with Americana and folk. Bonnie’s composition of the modern folk opera Billy Blythe, about the childhood of Bill Clinton, has earned her the attention of publications such as The New Yorker, The Economist, The Huffington Post and the London Daily Telegraph. Performing as a country duo with fellow White County native Nathan Howdeshell, Montgomery opened for Gossip on their 2012 U.S. and European tours. |

The 23-year old from Kent, Ohio first performed with her family band One Way Rider at the age of 8. At age 15, she recorded her first album White Lies in her brother’s bedroom, printing only 100 copies. One of those copies fell into the hands of Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys). After an introduction, Mayfield and Auerbach hit the studio, laying the foundation for her debut album With Blasphemy So Heartfelt. Says Auerbach of the recording experience, “I think she’s dark and moody in a mysterious way.” He adds, “I’m just always really excited to make music with her.” Mayfield’s second and most recent album, Tell Me, is a stunningly forthright 11-song set that addresses late night longing, serial heartbreak, and intoxicatingly dangerous liaisons conducted in dimly lit barrooms or roadside motels. By the end, the only heart intact is Mayfield’s own. It’s as if she’d stripped the sentimentality and ruefulness from a bunch of classic country songs, leaving only stark emotion. Auerbach also produced and engineered Tell Me at his Easy Eye Sound System studio in Akron, Ohio, matching Mayfield’s candor with eerily minimal, brilliantly constructed tracks that keep her mesmerizing, unadorned voice front and center. The New York Times hailed the album a Critics’ Pick, while the Associated Press calls Tell Me “the portrait of a precocious girl growing into self-assured womanhood and a producer reaching the peak of his powers. It is a dark and moody album, full of delights throughout, and if it doesn’t make Mayfield a star, that too will be heartbreaking.” Buy tickets |
