Natalie Carr
There’s a frayed vulnerability to the voice and lyrics of emerging Charlotte-based pop singer-songwriter, Natalie Carr. She has a susceptibility that draws you in, and the type of unpredictability that makes you wonder what will happen next. Carr’s sound is a style of sultry contemporary R&B and synth-pop that literally spawned from the bedroom.

Creature Comfort
Over the course of two releases (2013’s Fox Tales and 2016’s Echoes and Relics EP) and a string of singles, Creature Comfort has made a name for themselves by crafting songs that explore what it means to be caught between two worlds: Clark’s modest, rural upbringing back on the farm, and his current life in Nashville, where he’s a retail pharmacist by day and musician by night. As NATIVE writer Luke Wiget wrote about 2016’s “Common John (Southern Shame)”: “The panoramic, self-produced track gets at the heart of who and where Creature Comfort is—stuck between Tullahoma and the city.”

Paisley Fields & Mali Obomsawin:
Electric Park Ballroom is the Don Giovanni Records debut by Brooklyn/Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and bandleader, Paisley Fields. Fields’ writes country music. His songs are tender and authentic, but also pretty good with a joke. They’re mindful of tradition, but deeply informed by his singular background — as a teenage Midwestern church pianist, a Manhattan piano bar survivor, and a touring member of pioneering queer country outfit, Lavender Country. He’s worked on a farm and co-written songs for RuPaul’s Drag Race. The stories are his, but the feeling they convey — love, loneliness, lust, and so on — are, hopefully, universal. Electric Park Ballroom features contributions from Patrick Haggerty (Lavender Country), Mercy Bell, and Sam Gleaves.

Mali Obomsawin is bassist, composer, songwriter and singer. Offstage she is a journalist and #landback organizer from Odanak Abenaki First Nation.

Ross Adams
“The Charlotte, North Carolina-based singer/songwriter has released two previous sets (2014 and 2018), which went largely under the radar. For this one though, he calls in the big guns. That would be Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit band and producer Jimbo Hart, who also plays bass in the outfit. Even if the songs are written and sung by Adams, the assistance he gets from the expert players in the 400 Unit goes a long way to creating a tight, tough, sympathetic bed the singer/songwriter can work atop.”
American Songwriter

Country Westerns
“I don’t know how to tell you about what it sounds or feels like, cuz that’s why it’s music. I’d say people who like raw and well written rock and roll songs along the lines of stuff by Dwight Twilley, Dead Moon, Wipers, The Saints, Replacements, Green On Red and that whole vibe should love this band.”
