Midsummers
Midsummers came together on a cold January night in Boone, North Carolina, with the mission to deliver a barrage of noise. Drawing from a variety of influences, Midsummers find themselves combining the qualities of 90s shoegaze and 80s post-punk with post-hardcore and noise rock influences. Midsummers is an exercise in noise and passion, a wall of nostalgia and emotion.

Sneaky Miles
Sneaky Miles is an indie folk band formed in the fall of 2019. Originally a trio—Kevin O’Brien, Patrick Fitzgibbons, and Jake Gagne—the band found each other through open mic nights at the University of New Hampshire. Since forming, Sneaky Miles has quickly become a local powerhouse in the New Hampshire Seacoast music scene.
While the band began as a stripped-down trio, Sneaky Miles has since expanded their live sound by teaming up with additional members on drums, bass, and pedal steel. The result is a high-energy performance and a sound that feels bigger than the sum of its parts, blending heartfelt storytelling with driving folk-rock arrangements.
Their latest album, Cowboys, Songbirds, and Other Tales of Sorrow (2024), showcases the band’s growth both sonically and lyrically, cementing their place in the modern indie folk landscape.
Sneaky Miles has shared the stage with The Backseat Lovers, Trampled by Turtles, Coyote Island, Dr. Dog, Will Evans, Wheatus, Rayland Baxter, Wild Rivers, and The Deslondes. Notable performances include Borderland Festival (2025), Leavitt Festival (2025), and they’ve played the BNHP “Little Hazy” B Stage before Caamp and The Lumineers (2022).
For fans of Caamp, Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and The Head and the Heart, Sneaky Miles delivers a sound rooted in community, connection, and cathartic live shows.

Edward Crowther
Edward Crowther is a rock guitarist and songwriter from Charlotte, North Carolina filling the forgotten void of the guitar hero. His music pulls from a unique palette of sounds including Portugal. The Man, Guns N’ Roses, Oasis, The All-American Rejects, Jim Croce, Green Day, Boston, The Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, and turns it into something that doesn’t sit neatly in one box. From him himself: “If I had to encompass everything I do as an artist, I’d say my genre is hard romantic and nostalgic dream-scape rock n’ roll. My sound just pulls on so many different elements and when combined all together, I think that’s how I would describe it.”

Aunt Vicki
Aunt Vicki merges indie, retro rock, and Americana into their signature sound. Led by married songwriters Lee Dyer and Erin Campbell, their two styles give a yin and yang to the overall vibe. Influenced by the rock legends of the ’60s and the indie scene of the ’90s-00s, the four-piece band delivers catchy tunes with a gritty edge. Drew Ball is on Bass/Stage Mischief, and Tristan Smith adds a charming garage rock sass with his vintage drum kit.

Caleb Caudle
Caleb Caudle’s body of work is shaped from the ground up. His artistry has emerged through endurance and the steady momentum of a life in motion, carrying him from small stages in the North Carolina foothills he calls home, all the way to the Grand Ole Opry.
Now, Caudle is entering a pivotal chapter – one of a profound culmination where life and art converge in powerful ways. The recent discovery that he and his wife are going to be first-time parents has added a new perspective, full of the responsibility and wonder that welcoming a child into the world brings.
On his new album, Heavy Thrill, this personal evolution mirrors his artistic journey. He takes full creative control, self-producing for the first time while recording at the storied Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, Tenn., where reverence for tradition meets his singular artistic vision.
Heavy Thrill was mixed by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Modest Mouse) and mastered by Pete Lyman (Chris Stapleton, John Prine), two of Caudle’s favorite engineers, who have over 40 Grammy nominations between them.
Caudle has brought his music to stages across the world, with standout appearances at festivals including Merlefest, Luck Reunion, Kerrville Folk Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Stagecoach, and Cayamo, alongside a run of critically acclaimed albums praised by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, No Depression, and Rolling Stone. He has made multiple appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage and has been a guest DJ on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country, where his songs are in constant rotation. In the fall of 2024, Caudle reached a career-defining milestone, stepping into the circle at the Grand Ole Opry for the first time.
