Mel Bryant & The Mercy Makers
Mel Bryant leads with her bass, her big mouth, and her radical heart. The Mercy Makers keep her sane and channel her passions into a project that is equal parts visceral and sensitive, with a fresh youthful take on classic rock, pop punk & folk foundations, their inspirations ranging from the Allman Brothers to Green Day to Laura Marling. Their breakout single Never Thought was featured on Spotify Editorial playlists, and won them a Finalist award in the International Songwriting Competition. In the true spirit of an independent band, they record & produce their music out of a converted barn studio in the backyard of the house they share in East Nashville, Tennessee. Their latest single I Don’t Wanna Live (Like This) is out now on all platforms, and their long awaited sophomore album is due for release in summer 2025.

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.

Me Like Bees
Formed on the heels of the 2000s indie rock scene, Missouri-based indie rock band, Me Like Bees, was created by college dropout, Pete Burton and former gas station clerk, Luke Sheafer in 2009. The pair met while playing high school football together in Kansas; only to lose touch and serendipitously end up at the same college town in southwest Missouri several years later. The duo shared a mutual affinity for the music of the aughts. Bands like The Strokes, Modest Mouse, The White Stripes, and Franz Ferdinand, would serve as the catalyst to the danceable, guitar- driven rock that Me Like Bees would become known for, all of which are ever-present on their newly released sophomore full-length album — Disco Two Step.
Notably, the band released their first full-length album, The Ides, via Loveway Records in 2013. In 2014, they won first prize at the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands in Hollywood, CA — beating out 20,000 other artists, and securing a coveted spot on the Vans Warped Tour. With their undeniable trajectory of growth, the group knew the next step was to make more music. They got the chance to work alongside Goldfinger frontman and well- known producer, John Feldmann for the There Will Be Time EP (2016), and they didn’t stop there. In 2018, they partnered with Image Comics and artist Jeremy Haun for the release of their graphic novel-inspired EP, Songs From The Realm.
With a plethora of years in the game and knowing their way around the studio – Me Like Bees is making sure they’ve got your attention.

The Wonderlands
Alternative-pop quintet The Wonderlands began as a vehicle to combine the aesthetics of pop music with elements of American folk, soul, and rock. Now in the process of recording their third album, the band’s writing has evolved to become more collaborative and exploratory. Their newest single “When I Was Younger” addresses the painful paradox of growing up with an anthemic chorus and a driving rock rhythm.
