Wine Pride– Instagram / Bandcamp
Dreamy Post Punk – Charlotte, North Carolina
Goon (Los Angeles) – Instagram / Spotify
“Come along and wake up on the way,” sings Goon frontman Kenny Becker, “orange shapes arrange and change again/quiet Isaac in a mild dream.” The lyric evokes the hazy dreamscape spaces occupied by the band’s new album, Hour of Green Evening. Goon began as Becker’s Bandcamp solo project in 2015. At a friend’s encouragement, Becker compiled the best of his tracks and released them as an EP, 2016’s Dusk of Punk. He recruited bandmates from his college buddies and released a second EP, all the while working on the band’s first full-length, 2019’s Heaven is Humming on Partisan Records, followed by the self-released Paint By Numbers 1, a collection of his mid-pandemic home recordings. The evolution of Goon has come to full fruition on Hour of Green Evening. It’s the band’s most complete statement, engaging all aspects of their sound to stunning effect. The album thrums with mystery, with the half-remembered past hazy as dreams, the mixed sense of comfort and longing for freedom so essential to youth.

Sam On Someday
Through his full band vehicle, Time Sawyer, Sam Tayloe is interested in “real people and real songs” and that’s just what the listener finds in his music – a sense of realness. Blending a grassroots feel with heart-felt lyrics, Tayloe pulls the listener in with introspective ballads that land in that rootsy sweet spot where folk, alt-country, and rock gather for a good time.
Sam started a variety livestream in 2020 (Sam on Sunday) that Time Sawyer brought back in 2021 for a second season with full band shows every other episode. The Livestream has reached over 150,000 and had over 100 guests from far and wide featured virtually on the show. The experience was a way for Sam and the band to better stay connected with their peers, make some new friends, keep ties strong with old friends, and help keep the ship afloat. As normalcy begins to return, Sam is ready to get back to doing what is most important to him musically, connecting face to face with listeners. He’ll see you at Petra’s.

For Sam, time is a muse for songwriting; it’s the thread that runs through life, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency, while still connecting us with our past. He has performed either solo or with Time Sawyer on the stages of some of the Southeast’s most iconic festivals, including Merlefest, Floydfest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Rhythm n’ Blooms, Carolina in the Fall and IBMA’s Bluegrass First Class sharing bills with the likes of Langhorne Slim, Phil Cook, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Wood Brothers, Joe Pug, John Moreland, and more.

Jason Scavone
Jason Scavone is a singer/songwriter, and record producer from Charlotte, NC
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.

Ashlyn Uribe
Emotionally attuned, indie pop artist Ashlyn Uribe is based in Charlotte, North Carolina where she’s popped onto the scene with her powerhouse vocals and bright, aromatic production. Writing from a lot of her own experiences, Uribe’s sensually raw but witty lyricism paired with her focused yet high-energy melodies bring fans together through a sense of validity & resonation. Ashlyn studied voice & theatre at the South Carolina School of the Arts & comes from a performance background with 13 years of vocal training.

Carly Taich
A multi-award winning songwriter, Taich has become a known name in her hometown of Asheville, NC and beyond. Her most recent EP It Tends to Glow, featured by NPR and American Songwriter, explores the many lenses through which one experiences Love. Blurt Magazine named her previous record, Reverie, “a start-to-finish, no-filler/all-killer gem—a veritable calling card to greatness if enough ears find it.”

The Wormholes
The Wormholes are Ben Verner (artist, lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist) and Chris Walters (producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist). They write, record, and produce all of their music together from a bedroom studio in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their sound blurs the lines between art-pop, post-rock, and neo-psychedelia.
https://linktr.ee/wearethewormholes
Late Nite Laundry
(Chicago, IL) – With music described “perfect for long evenings indoors” (Chicago Tribune), the psychedelic-soul quartet records & mixes their sultry strain of vivid lo-fi in-house. The pandemic brought cancellations to their biggest promises at the time (opening for Slow Pulp, touring with Winona Forever, and an official SXSW showcase); nevertheless, the band’s self-titled EP will release in fall 2022 via Acrophase Records (Ginger Root, V.V. Lightbody, King Pari), and it’ll be as much of a restart as a statement that Late Nite Laundry is here to stay.
https://www.latenitelaundrymusic.com/
Jameilyara
Jameilyara is a Charlotte-bred musician whose raw songwriting pulls the veil from those feelings you just can’t talk about. After finding her pop sound in the Queen City, she integrated Jazz and R&B influences in the High Country as front woman of the Neo-Soul group Terrabang. Now spreading her wings as a solo musician, Jameilyara brings forth playful imagery and catchy choruses that could be compared to the stylings of Little Dragon and Remi Wolf. She is set to debut her long-awaited solo album in 2023.

Alexa Jenson
A young, angsty, female singer-songwriter walks into a rock ‘n’ roll club for the first time, rounds up the most talented musicians in the joint, forms a band that brings sass, skill, and energy to any stereo or stage, and has a damn good time doing it.
https://linktr.ee/alexajenson

Te’Jani
Self-taught recording artist, Te’Jani, has been rising throughout the Carolinas scene over the last couple years. With guitar being his first love, he has been quoted saying he “makes music for black kids who loved Guitar Hero 3” as that is what inspired him to buy his own electric guitar at 11 years old. Following his debut album GIMP in 2022, Te’Jani recently released, On Prozac, a 5-song EP capturing the emotional turbulence of a failing relationship.
https://msha.ke/middlenametj

Low Groves
With folksy roots, enveloped by droning soundscapes, Low Groves tiptoes the lines of folk music and indie rock while exploring themes of longing and loss. The project was formed out of necessity. After losing his last living grandparent and being laid off from his day job with the Chicago White Sox in 2020, he retreated to his vacant grandparents’ house in Chicago to gather belongings and determine his next move. He emerged with the 10 songs that would comprise his debut album: Drifter.
