The David Mayfield Parade
Grammy-nominated musician and producer David Mayfield is a force of nature on stage, from clubs to major festivals to opening for The Avett Brothers. His music and energy reflect the numerous influences that come from a lifetime of being immersed in American music and channeling its unique forms from the howl of early rock-n-roll, to the low lonesome twang of folk and country with a voice that is all at once heartbreaking and inherently hopeful.

Bill Coffey and His Cash Money Cousins
This high-energy, roots-rock, and retro-country singer/songwriter’s songs swerve from upbeat, jangly country pop to the darker, more lonesome side of Americana. With vocals that are heartfelt and direct, set against instrumentation firmly rooted in the traditions of American music – folk, country, blues, rock, and everything in between – his work has been compared to John Prine, Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt, and Bruce Springsteen.

The Changing Colors
Hailing from the tiny hamlet of Manitou Springs, Colorado, The Changing Colors is a band led by twin brothers Conor and Ian Bourgal. Using the simplicity of acoustic guitar and the melancholy tone of lap steel, they sing of longing and beauty, hope and regret. Their style is similar to folk and Americana, with substance that is far more complex.
