Rasmus Leon
A singer/songwriter of lush, haunting music, William Stephen Davis uses dark, catchy melodies and evocative, introspective lyrics as portals to vivid internal landscapes.
Raised in the Appalachian foothills of North Carolina, Rasmus Leon (a moniker adopted his late aunt jokingly suggested he be named while he was in utero) creates songs that unfold in cinematic swells; unsurprising given his long history as a music video, animation and experimental documentary filmmaker.
A self-taught musician and filmmaker, Davis produced + scored numerous projects while teaching at colleges, simultaneously producing a multitude of 4-track songs in private for years, unbeknownst to even those close to him. Using the framework of folk piano, pop-tinged incantations, confessional lyrics and environmental sounds, the chill-inducing combination swirls with emotional grandiosity, pulling listeners in and burrowing in their psyches long after the final notes.
Partnering with Stephen Warwick (Ancient Cities) after switching roles from music video director/artist to artist/producer, his debut EP and the Foothills was recorded in Warwick’s bedroom and Davis’ languished childhood home as he finished dismantling 30+ years of memories. and the Foothills was supported by creative collaborators and friends including bluegrass fiddlers, classical cellists and his father, a jazz trombonist, and mastered by Sarah Register (Big Thief, U.S. Girls, Protomartyr, The Shins).

Sam Tayloe
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.
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.
