SUMMARY:MŽnage
DESCRIPTION:MŽnage is a swing/soul/roots band. Original members Mary Ellen Bush and Sarah McDonald are now joined by Melissa Hyman to create a sound that is intimate\, harmonic\, and invokes melodic landscapes of our hills. Folk-rooted\, the trio will take you on a journey unlike most\, where bluesy swing is conveyed in rolling grooves ranging from rich smokey vocal textures to rambunctious roadhouse to whimsical. Sweet harmonies and distinct songwriting are the backbone of this band’s novel style. Solid stringed riffs laced with distant artful flashes of harmonica and accordion are siren songs to those lucky enough to be within earshot. The songwriting and the talent of this trio/duo will draw you in\, and bring you back to see them again

SUMMARY:Lonesome Road Band
DESCRIPTION:The Lonesome Road Band regularly travels as a three piece group\, featuring banjo\, guitar\, and bass. In a nutshell\, the band plays country and folk\, but that wonderfully rustic country that walks you down a dirt road\, with a pleasant breeze tickling your face\, while the grasshoppers chirp. Founded back in 1995\, the band has gone through a few changes in members\, but has never lost its heart and soul Ð thanks in abundance to its founder Larry Keith. The charming yet stark fervency of The Lonesome Road BandÕs music instantly takes audiences back to a time where songs told the world of manÕs great love and great sorrows. Huddled around a vintage mic\, the group would be right at home next to the Soggy Bottom Boys in ÒO Brother Where Art Thou.Ó

SUMMARY:Time Sawyer

Time is a muse for songwriting; itÕs the thread that runs through life\, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency\, while still connecting us with our past. A folk-rock band whose songs call out the attitudes and behaviors that lead to our divisions Ð the way that we show understanding to our friends and family\, without thinking about how folks outside our social circle are experiencing their own problems\, and are\, at heart\, just like us.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Edward Williams
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Edward Williams is a folk musician\, multi-instrumentalist\, and self-described flame-keeper Ñ a man who has spent years on the road tracing American music back to its roots and playing it forward. Blending Piedmont blues fingerpicking\, old-time\, ragtime\, and early country with a voice that rolls like a mountain stream\, Williams doesn’t simply perform these songs Ñ he resurrects them. His critically acclaimed recordings have charted internationally\, and as the host of the roots music history podcast American Songcatcher\, his dedication to preservation runs bone-deep. Live\, it’s the intimacy that leaves its mark: one voice\, a well-worn guitar\, and a set of songs that feel like they’ve always existed.

SUMMARY:Michael Flynn
DESCRIPTION:Michael Flynn is an Americana-adjacent singer/songwriter based in western NC. Though some have likened his style to that of the “Neo-pop” genre. Either way\, his music is appealing in its ability to take you on a journey. One moment you will be chuckling along with a quirky turn of phrase and the next closing your eyes to the somber tones flowing from both piano and Flynn’s vocals. There is no denying Flynn’s talent\, with songs featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless\, and not to mention his numerous awards. Lyrically strong\, intimately beautiful\, and full of varied song craft\, Flynn’s music is playful even when it hurts\, bright when it’s bruising\, and as catchy as it is clever. In short\, his music is like life\, a full experience.
