Ryan Lockhart
Ryan Lockhart is a South Carolina–born songwriter whose work bridges the intensity of the Southern hardcore scene and the restraint of traditional folk songwriting.
After emerging with Funeral Chic, he shifted his focus to stripped-down, narrative-driven folk music. His songs explore outsiders, ghosts, and heathen mythology—works of fiction, for legal purposes—told with restraint, dark humor, and a distinctly Southern perspective. He has released two EPs, Straitjacket Blues and The Finest Ugly Man In The South, along with the full-length album Son Of A Coal Miner’s Daughter. His writing is influenced by Bruce Springsteen and John Prine, emphasizing clarity, storytelling, and emotional weight.
Along the way, Ryan has opened for Tim Barry, Cory Branan, Sunny War, Yes Ma’am, Lightnin’ Luke, and Pete Bernhard.

The Montvales
Born and raised in Knoxville, TN, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson of The Montvales spent much of their formative years busking amidst the Elvis impersonators and musical saw players of the town’s Market Square, honing their uniquely boisterous harmonies and perfecting the art of people-watching. Some fifteen years later, the two are still at it-maintaining their study of the robust chaos of the commons as they tour the country playing their descriptive, textured songs on the self-described “feral outskirts of country music.” Their lyrics tackle everything from heartbreak to gentrification to abortion rights, pulling audiences in alongside their well-worn harmonies and nearly telepathic musical connection.

Blue Cactus
Rooted in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Blue Cactus got their start among the active honky-tonk circuit, developing an electrified twang that now branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country, and psychedelic-tinged rock. Having released three 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 2025 album Believer was hailed in Bandcamp’s Best New Country list and earned them slots on SXSW, Hopscotch Fest’s main stage opening for Geese and My Morning Jacket, and PBS’ new original series, Shaped By Sound. Blue Cactus have toured throughout the US, developing a dedicated cult following. From intimate clubs to major festival stages, Blue Cactus is known for connecting deeply with audiences wherever they go.

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.”

falllift
Born out of weekly writing sessions during the pandemic, falllift is the collaborative project of Micah Cottingham and William Steven Hall. What began as a creative outlet soon evolved into a full-fledged band grounded in trust, balance, and a shared commitment to growth. Since their debut E.P. Sunday Sessions in 2022, falllift has released several singles, completed two national tours, and earned multiple sync placements. Their music blends introspective storytelling with powerful sonic landscapes, addressing themes from personal growth to social justice. Their upcoming single, All Salt—featuring award-winning poet Bluz—is slated for summer 2025, with a full-length album in the works. When not making music, falllift is rooted in community, nature, and their beloved dog, Lola.

A Different Thread
Some things are just meant to be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have taken their act on the road, touring over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star), and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK, which hailed the duo as “warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition.”
