Blue Cactus
Blue Cactus, the North Carolina duo of Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez, make Dream Country: a blend of grit, glitz, groove, and twang that evokes a celestial soundscape of mid-century heartbreak and harkens comparisons eclectic and iconic as Bobbie Gentry, Fleetwood Mac, and David Bowie.
Their sophomore album, Stranger Again, released in 2021 on Sleepy Cat Records, nabbed enthusiastic attention from tastemakers including No Depression, American Songwriter, FLOOD Magazine, Talkhouse, and INDY Week among others. Following their critically acclaimed 2017 debut and a string of singles in 2020, Stranger Again saw the band taking their sound to an ambitious new plane, where country-rock and light psychedelia mingle, vocals soaring over twangy slide guitars and propulsive basslines.
WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | BAND CAMP

Evan Stepp & The Piners
“Marrying an Americana ethos to roaring, punk-tinged country rock isn’t new, but Stepp and his bandmates display all the right instincts here. The song’s dynamics are never forced and their earnestness feels like a sincere part of the group’s identity. For what it’s worth, the image of Jason Isbell fronting a young and hungry Gaslight Anthem keeps coming to mind, so make of that what you will.” – Immersive Atlanta
“Stepp’s dulcet-hued, tenor voice is the perfect delivery vehicle for material that reaches deeply into the introspective recesses where hard lessons involving shame, naïveté, loss, and emancipation (if not redemption) lurk…A distinctive aura of ardent sincerity and brutal honesty emanates courtesy of Stepp’s relentlessly thorough analysis of the human condition. For all the raucous, exultant boisterousness conveyed by the music, the lyrical content conjures up either a confession between intimate friends or someone kneeling bedside in prayer — just like all the best country songs do.” – Creative Loafing Atlanta

Swansgate
Formed in small town in North Carolina by 3 close friends, Swansgate was originally set up in the likeness of a jazz trio. The musical direction of Stu Draughn manifested as a series of long, mostly instrumental, compositions for keys (Stu Draughn), drums (Michael McKinney), and bass (Gabe McKinney). Over time, the original direction of the band evolved into a more symphonic approach to making music. With more and more elements being added to each composition, Swansgate decided to enlist drummer Mike Kaloudis to replace Michael McKinney, so that he could commit to playing guitar, and keyboards. Now, Swansgate’s live set contains loads of keyboard parts, samples, and other sounds. Currently based out of Charlotte, NC, their debut album, “Becoming Someone” is set for independent release on April 29, 2022.

Unwed Sailor
After two decades of critically acclaimed and fan-adored releases, Unwed Sailor has become a fixture within the indie rock/pop landscape. A familiar and unceasing tide. A steady hand through turbulent channels.
In many ways, the band’s forthcoming release MuteThe Charm represents an exercise in addition by subtraction –creating a layered emotive experience through more organic means.At its core, it is a pop rock record with chiming guitars, melodic bass, and rock solid drums– more aligned with the accessible sides of artist influences ranging from The Sundays, Joy Division, and The Stone Roses to Led Zeppelin,Lungfish, and 90’s indie rock band, Seam, than the band’s previous and more ambient releases. “MuteThe Charmis a back to the basics, primal record,” says Johnathon Ford. “It’s instrumental music without all the dressings. Muting the Charm, digging in the dirt, swimming in the ocean, going back to the basics, feeling those primal feelings of nature, and reflecting those feelings in songs.
”Mute The Charm also functions as a notable checkpoint in Unwed Sailor’s continuous progress in blurring the lines between post and pop rock. “I want to transcend the barrier that being an instrumental band with no vocals can sometimes bring between the artist and the listener,” says Ford. “When I sit down to write a song, I’m not writing a post-rock song, I’m writing a pop song. I’m singing through my bass lines. The bassis my voice and the notes are my lyrics. I love how bands like Tycho and El Ten Eleven have created their own voices through instrumental music that appeals to all listeners, not just post rock or instrumental music fans. My goal is to reach and inspire all music fans, not just post rock fans.
Mute the Charmis all-at-once a love letter to specific cities and scenes, a longing retrospective on relationships with people and the past, a nod to formative artists and trailblazers, and a hopeful look ahead towards a less tumultuous future. Stay tuned to spartan records.for updates on Unwed Sailor, and be sure to catch the band on their upcoming tour with The Chills this fall – featuring a new live show with visuals by renowned UK artist Gary Prendergast.

Jason Scavone
With an undeniable gift for songwriting that illuminates the joyous, mundane and oftentimes bewildering experiences of life, North Carolina based singer, songwriter and producer Jason Scavone has developed a unique sound that transcends traditional genre barriers, delivering a unique musical thumbprint that seamlessly melds the best of indie, pop, americana and rock. While influenced by a wide variety of artists from The Beatles and Tom Petty to Sonic Youth and Ryan Adams, it was the moment Jason first heard Bob Dylan’s “One Too Many Mornings” that he knew he had to be a songwriter, and he’s been honing his craft ever since.

Faye

https://linktr.ee/fayeisaband

It’s Snakes
Starting in early 2015, singer Hope Nicholls took tentative steps in the daunting shoes of Phil Collins and Levon Helms, attempting to keep the beat on drums while crooning. The former vocalist for 80’s college rock main-stays Fetchin Bones, 90’s pissed-off Sugarsmack and 2000’s secret Snagglepuss hit the skins with a vengeance and zero shites given. Aaron Pitkin added his signature riffage: It’s Snakes marked his return to guitar, a first since the ‘Bones epoch. Long time collaborator Darrin Gray (bass) and fellow member of Snagglepuss coached Nicholls on drumming and believed it just might work. Guitarist Greg Walsh believed as well and the dream was real.
Nicholls took the name It’s Snakes from a Lynda Barry comic strip that featured a nonchalant retail encounter with Medusa, legendary snake goddess and first female super villain.

North By North
Formed in 2012, North by North is the sweat-fueled rock & roll dream of two childhood friends from the south side of Chicago. Their music was forged through years of teen angst, twenty-something alienation and a profound belief that rock music can be genuinely clever and inventive. It’s a sound glued together by melodic hooks, soaring vocals, crushing guitar, bombastic drums and the kind of untethered energy that has won crowds over hundreds of shows and dozens of festivals across three countries.
To call Nate Girard (guitar, vocals) and Kendra Blank (drums) veterans of the road would be a massive understatement. They have toured full-time since 2016 and have played over 650 shows throughout the US, Canada and UK.

Juan Wauters
After the release of Who, Me? Wauters spent several years touring and travelling the world, including a long stint in Latin America — from Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, and Chile to Mexico and Puerto Rico — where he began working on his next project. Inviting local musicians to contribute to the songs he was working on, Wauters emerged with a collection steeped in the musical traditions of each country he’d visited. As a result, 2018’s ​La Onda De Juan Pablo​ and its follow-up, Introducing Juan Pablo,​ became his most expansive and sonically diverse records to date, tracing both his Uruguayan roots and his travellers’ spirit. Elements he’d flirted with in the past – singing in Spanish, traditional instruments like bongo drums and marimba, the collaborative spirit of his live shows – came to the forefront on these releases.
Wauters’ chameleonic songwriting has continued to evolve in recent years: on his latest effort, Real Life Situations, he’s delved deeper into collaboration, teaming up with Mac DeMarco, Peter Sagar (AKA Homeshake), Nick Hakim, Cola Boyy, El David Aguilar, and more for experiments in hip-hop, lo-fi R&B, and deft indie folk. With some of his recording plans hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, he mined older songs, phone notes, new material, and snippets from TV and YouTube to craft an aural document of the year through his eyes. Under his care, these small moments become coordinates for the peaks and valleys of human experience, coloring the album with Wauters’ unique shade of realism.
Perhaps this realism is what makes Wauters such an inimitable artist. His music has always sprung from the interplay between genre-hopping eclecticism and earnest, plain-spoken observation. Themes of loneliness, personal growth, patience, and companionship arise again and again in his work, just as they do in life. Each time though, he manages to breathe new life into them – to listen to his music is to navigate a rapidly-changing world with him in real time. His unique ability to produce that feeling – via his music, his live show, even his social media presence – ensures that no matter where his travels take him, he’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Sam on Someday
Sam on Someday is an ongoing live music series hosted by Time Sawyer’s Sam Tayloe that brings together diverse songwriters and musicians in collaborative performances. The show always shines a spotlight on songwriting, whether it’s freshly minted songs by local songwriters, or favorite covers.
Musical guests include fan favorites from the Charlotte and North Carolina music community, as well as touring bands and artists.
Each Sam on Someday is a unique, one-time-only event that is not to be missed. It’s a genre-busting experience where a rapper, a banjo player, a folk singer, a violinist and a blues guitarist might share the stage and create something completely new together.
The project started as a weekly livestream every Sunday during the pandemic but has since grown and flourished as live events at some of Charlotte’s great music venues. Now it can show up anywhere and anytime, so “Sam on Sunday” has become “Sam on Someday.”
But one thing hasn’t changed: Sam on Someday is still a way to reconnect with live music and with friends in an intimate setting. It’s a warm and welcoming celebration of Charlotte’s music scene.
Through his full band vehicle, Time Sawyer, Sam Tayloe blends a grassroots feel with heart-felt lyrics. From introspective ballads to high-energy crowd-pleasers, Time Sawyer’s songs land in that rootsy sweet spot where folk, alt-country and rock gather for a good time.

Petrov
Petrov is a surging Charlotte, NC indie/pop/punk rock band that tore into the local scene with their powerful debut EP Sleep Year released by Self Aware Records in early 2019. The band is a gamut of veteran and fresh-faced Charlotte talent including guitarists Syd Little and Mike Backlund, bassist Matt McConomy, drummer Garrett Herzfeld, and vocalist Mary Grace McKusick, who soars as a first-time front-person for the band. Sleep Year remains widely-praised and garnered the band a slew of opportunities like appearances on WFAE’s award-winning podcast “Amplifier” with Joni Deutsch and a spot on NPR Music’s “Best Songs of 2019 (So Far)” list.

Maiden Mother Crone
Gaining a reputation in the Nashville underground for their live performances, Nashville-based quartet, Maiden Mother Crone, combines washy, reverb-drenched shoegaze with dynamic, progressive leaning song structures that reside in the ethereal and distorted. Formed in the early months of 2019 by band members Nick Stacey (guitar & vocals), Dave Parker (bass), Greg Dowling (drums), and Wesley Suttle (guitar), the band released their debut EP “Blue Ruin” in the fall of 2019 followed by their sophomore EP “Redirection” in January of 2021.

Subvertigo
While attending a Modern Color/Heart To Gold show at Snug Harbor, guitarist/vocalist Stephen Vorne, drummer Ricky Rodriguez-Cue, and guitarist Declan O’Dell expressed the desire to play music in the same vein as all the bands that had played that night, and Subvertigo was born. Soon after, bassist Ethan Saunders was asked to join and the lineup was complete. Since October 2022, Subvertigo has been building a following while playing DIY house shows across North Carolina, The Odditorium in Asheville, and a sold out show at the Milestone with Seneca Burns, Home For The Day, and Circuit.

Rock Eupora
Rock Eupora, the moniker for Mississippi-bred, Nashville-based artist Clayton Waller, has always been a heart-on-your-sleeve musical endeavor. From his earliest recordings, Waller has never been afraid to ask the big, searching questions of life. Catchy, hooky pop sensibilities have similarly been a consistent through-line in Rock Eupora’s catalogue. Featuring singable, fuzzed-out guitar hooks and stuck-in-your-head-all-afternoon choruses, the discography of Rock Eupora––including three full-length albums, two EPs, and a smattering of singles to date––brings to mind Blue Album-era Weezer or the high-energy, hard-charging, harmony-laden early Beatles singles.

Aaron Irwin is a highly acclaimed jazz saxophonist, clarinetist and composer based in New York City. The 2018 self titled release, Wobegon is a tribute to the fictional town of Lake Wobegon that features original compositions by Irwin capturing a whimsical and nostalgic spirit which explores themes of community, nostalgia, and hope. Irwin’s skilled improvisations on saxophone and clarinet are complemented by the exceptional musicianship of his ensemble, guitarist Mike Baggetta and drummer Jeff Hirshfield.
