Swansgate
Formed in small town in North Carolina by 3 close friends, Swansgate was originally set up in the likeness of a jazz trio. The musical direction of Stu Draughn manifested as a series of long, mostly instrumental, compositions for keys (Stu Draughn), drums (Michael McKinney), and bass (Gabe McKinney). Over time, the original direction of the band evolved into a more symphonic approach to making music. With more and more elements being added to each composition, Swansgate decided to enlist drummer Mike Kaloudis to replace Michael McKinney, so that he could commit to playing guitar, and keyboards.

Dhemo
Dhemo (pronounced “demo”) is a Richmond VA based artist who’s sound drifts between dream-like indie ballads to upbeat funk influenced bops. It’s an indie rock project that expands seamlessly through jazz and psychedelic sounds. Overtop a tightly dynamic live band, the music connects with listeners through both emotional vocal melodies and vulnerable lyricism.
https://linktr.ee/Dhemo

Tecoby Hines
The most exciting new wave of gifted MCs is from Charlotte, and riding the crest is Tecoby, With his most recent EP, 2023 “Soul Sip”. Hines solidified his place as one of his cities most insightful and articulate rappers, a lyrical acrobat as assertive as he is pensive, as introspective as he is socially conscious.

Florecienta
Valentina (Florecienta) Calderon was born in Colombia, South America and immigrated to Charlotte, North Carolina at the age of 5. Her early exposure to salsa music and pop stars like Shakira sparked an interest in music and performance. In high school, she continued to nurture this interest by writing music independently, singing in choirs, and making music with her friends. At 20, Florecienta acquired her first drum machine, which began her journey into music production. Today, her sound is a dynamic fusion of electronic pop, Latin rhythms, and R&B-inspired vocals.
https://beacons.ai/florecienta

Jameilyara
Jameilyara writes songs for those thoughts that feel too weird to talk about. After developing her pop sound in the Queen City as a teenager, she adopted strong jazz and r&b influences during her time in the High Country as the front woman for the Neo-Soul group, Terrabang. Now spreading her wings as a solo musician, Jameilyara brings forth playful imagery and catchy choruses that could be compared to the stylings of Little Dragon and Japanese Breakfast.

Coughing Dove
Coughing Dove is the Charlotte-based project of Nicholas Holman, and his second album under the name and first for Self Aware Records (Late Bloomer, Faye) is a quiet record of folk rock and alt-country that manages to sound both dusty and polished at the same time.
https://linktr.ee/coughingdove

Paisley Fields
Paisley 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.

Jason Scavone
With an undeniable gift for songwriting that illuminates the joyous, mundane and oftentimes bewildering experiences of life, North Carolina based singer, songwriter and producer Jason Scavone has developed a unique sound that transcends traditional genre barriers, delivering a unique musical thumbprint that seamlessly melds the best of indie, pop, americana and rock. While influenced by a wide variety of artists from The Beatles and Tom Petty to Sonic Youth and Ryan Adams, it was the moment Jason first heard Bob Dylan’s “One Too Many Mornings” that he knew he had to be a songwriter, and he’s been honing his craft ever since.

Mold!
At the core of Miami-based band MOLD! is a border-defying friendship. Although both born and raised in Lima, Peru, guitarist Carlo Barbacci and bassist Bronto Montano didnʼt connect until a mutual desire for a more music-involved future brought them to the US within a six month time period.

Jonathan Scales Fourchestra
You’ve heard this before, but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough to describe. Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a soundscape of solitude, the power trio of electric bass (E’Lon JD), drums (Maison Guidry), and steel pans (Jonathan Scales) combines elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock, peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk. From club and festival stages across North America and Europe, and tours of Africa, Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural Ambassador for the US Department of State, to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla Fleck, the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are… even if just for a precious moment.
This may seem an odd thing to say, but on the verge of releasing their eighth studio recording, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is only now truly embracing their identity as a group. For many years, Jonathan’s live band was a fluid lineup of top-notch musicians, and even included an “all-star” version with bassist MonoNeon (Prince, Nas), drummer Sput Searight (Snarky Puppy, Snoop Dogg) and percussionist Weedie Braimah (Trombone Shorty, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah), as well as a number of other marquee players. Now, however, the Fourchestra is a decidedly indivisible band, and Jonathan is writing for the trio, not just the pans.
