Tiny City
Tiny City is an indie rock band, carving a fresh path between post-punk and power pop. From Charlotte, NC, four best friends, Derek (vox, drums), Brendan (guitar, keys, vox), Caleb (guitar), and Nick (bass), are on a quest to redefine the listening experience. Danceability, driving riffs, captivating choruses, and an eclectic perspective on music and sound define Tiny City. Often likened to the musical stylistic of Spoon and Pavement and drawing influence from a wide array of musical pioneers, from legends like Talking Heads and Otis Redding to modern greats Modest Mouse to The Strokes, Tiny City’s sound is familiar, yet unique in all ways. The human experience, curiosity, monotony, life, death. I hope it’s with you.

North By North
North by North is the rock & roll dream of two weirdos from Chicago, IL. Their garage-y power-pop sound has been forged through years of teen angst, twenty-something alienation, sleeping in vans, and practically living on a stage.
Anchored by syrupy vocal hooks, roaring guitar and bombastic drums, North by North produces a huge sound that has captivated thousands of people over hundreds of performances and festivals around the world.

Blue Cactus
Blue Cactus got their start among the active honky-tonk circuit of North Carolina, developing an electrified twang that now branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country, and psychedelic-tinged rock. Having released two records to critical acclaim, they have grown a cult following in the South and beyond, their introspective lyricism and blistering guitar techniques making the band potent in the studio and on stage. Their songs are currently featured in NPR Live Sessions and Billboard with albums reviewed in Paste, American Songwriter, and No Depression who praised their ability to paint “beautiful pictures of limitless possibility” in roots music. Their third studio album, Believer, is set to release April 25 via Sleepy Cat Records.
