Tenille Townes

Road to the Lemonade Stand Tour

One minute with Tenille Townes and it’s instantly clear that she doesn’t see, or hear, the world like everyone else. Maybe it comes through in how she learned to read by pouring through lyric sheets and liner notes, or how she starting singing by belting along to U2 and Shania Twain in the back of her parents’ car. Or maybe it will come to light in the thousands she’s raised and the miles she’s logged supporting the charitable initiatives she created while still a teenager. Or maybe it will simply come across in her stunning voice and wise, insightful lyricism, all infinitely beguiling for someone of her young age. But that’s the thing about Townes. She’s never operated by the clock or the calendar. She operates from her heart, and from her soul. The Canadian-born Townes, isn’t quite like anyone else who has graced the city’s stages. With the lyrical fortitude of Griffin or Lori McKenna, the soulful nature of Chris Stapleton or even Adele, Townes is paving ground all her own.

Jeff Givens & The Mugshot Saints

Singer/Songwriter Jeff (The Bourbon Cowboy) Givens is a road-seasoned troubadour. As a contemporary musical gypsy, Jeff travels the country, meeting folks from every aspect of life and listens to their stories. He lives this life, documenting it all in his songs. Somehow, writing through the haze of self-destruction like his heroes before him, (Kerouac, Burroughs, Lennon, Hank, Townes and others) he has prevailed and come out the other side, battling his demons by writing about them. Born in Tennessee and raised in Chicago, The Cowboy is a music veteran of over 30 years and has played in many bands, from Chicago to Boston to London. Working with Jay Bennett from Wilco was one of his many highlights. Back in 2001, Jeff went all-in; he left his day gig and everything else to fully embrace this musical journey. Tramping around America, like a prince of skid row, he began writing songs that defined his life. Settling back in Chicago, Jeff reconnected with producer, collaborator and fellow hell-raiser, Jason (Mistah Bocka) Botka, to finish, write and record this honest, badass music. From the easy rooms of Skye Bleu Studios, Jeff's first album, "Bourbon Cowboy" was born.

Cody Bryan Band

Since entering the scene in 2013, the Cody Bryan Band has drawn a wealth of praise from fans and critics alike for their fresh take on today’s country music. But don’t take anybody else’s word for it; listen to Bryan’s debut record Wreck Me and hear the promise for yourself. “Wreck Me” starts off the record with driving kick drum and chugging guitars before being joined by Bryan’s syrupy Texas drawl and swirling organs, culminating in a radio-ready chorus — and the band hasn't looked back since.

Jeremy Pinell & Nathan Kalish and The Last Callers

When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2015 to stunned acclaim, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. Hailed as a “ming-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy, KEXP) “tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters), Pinnell’s debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. Dogged touring through Europe and the states and celebrated radio sessions followed, cementing Pinnell’s position as a no-fuss master of his craft.

Josh Ward

“All grit and no quit.” These are the deeply rooted words that Josh Ward lives by to an absolute fault.

An anchored mindset that has led this Texas country music rising star from a drifter’s adolescence to the jeopardous game of the rodeo circuit to the punishing toil of the Texas oil fields, and on into the fickle arms of the music business. Some might argue whether it is having nine consecutive #1 hit singles in Texas under his belt that has garnered him staying power, or that he is killing it in the social media world with over 2 million views on YouTube and over 3 million streams globally on Spotify. Maybe it’s his 3 venerated album releases, or maybe because he can not only bat a full house on a 200 plus dates a year touring average, but also rope in crowds on a first time performance in an unfamiliar town. While impressive, all those distinctions can come and go in the world of music. The reason for his staying power turns out to be quite a simple one. And that is because Josh Ward is country music blood to bone, and both Josh Ward and country music are simply not going to go away.

David Adam Byrnes

Country Music has been all that David Adam Byrnes has ever known. One of his earliest memories is attending a George Strait concert and really hearing a George Strait song for the first time. From that day forward, he would always take his cowboy hat to school; earning him the nickname of “George Strait” amongst his peers. In fact, Byrnes spent his final night of high school, on the stage opening up for the legendary Hank Williams, Jr.

Bone Feather

The debut EP from Bone Feather Moon's on Fire has landed. It's been called "Deep Purple gone Dixie". This five-track collection of songs is a powerful and gutsy debut effort from a band who's equal parts young, hungry songwriters and seasoned, symbiotic performers. Chris Stapleton, Leroy Powell, and other prolific writers have penned songs the EP. Of Moon's on Fire, lead singer Michael Shaun Brown says, “There is nothing that has ever been captured in our history to represent who we are more than what this body of work does. The raw, distinctive energy that was poured into every single track expresses how hard we work to be the very best that we can be. Bone Feather is officially here, and we are definitely here to stay.” Bone Feather is a multifarious Southern rock 'n' roll outfit based in Nashville, TN. Hailing from all four corners of the country, the band was led to the smoky dives of Music City five years ago where they started playing consistently and forming their own unique sound. Bone Feather is already making a splash in Nashville and beyond, bridging the genres of Rock and Country seamlessly. With a catalog of brand new material under their belts, Bone Feather is now poised to reach beyond the honky tonk scene and bring their electrifying sound to the national and international arena.
