Evan Blackerby has something to say. He’s been relentless in working to cultivating his own musical voice and sound - a sound that can only be described as alt-bluesy Americana, folkish-rock-esque singer-songwriter. With the passage of time, he’s found confidence and has become more comfortable in his unpolished honesty and ability to craft a song worth listening to.
Chris McGinnis writes songs that exist somewhere between a hiccup and a heartache. His most recent EP, Songs For You, touches on the peculiarity of your hometown morphing beyond recognition. It tells the story of two Baby Boomers falling in and out of love across time zones and decades. It's about connection and disconnection alike. With the release of his debut full-length album Mamaw's Angel, Chris veers deeper into these familiar themes. Through tales of stolen Winnebagos and hip-shaking grandbabies, Chris' music is Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century.
