Based out of Asheville, NC, Fancy and the Gentlemen brings an eclectic mix of honky tonk, blues, southern gothic, outlaw country, and classical roots twist to Americana. Sensitive and rich harmonies weave through the tapestry of original compositions and carefully curated covers that celebrate the roots of southern American music. The crew enjoy performing as a full toms and mallets groove-infused band while staying true to the core artistry that is the songwriting quartet. 
 
Kurt Fortmeyer was born in a barn and raised in a stable environment, or so he
might tell an unwitting listener in one of his sillier moments.
Kurt has shared the stage with Grammy-winning songwriters Steve Leslie and R.L.
Castleman. and Hall Of Fame songwriters Don Wayne and Jimmy Payne. He has opened
shows for many artists including Livingston Taylor, Emmylou Harris, and Doyle Lawson
& Quicksilver. As at home in front of a microphone as he is on a front porch, Kurt plays real music,
by, for, and about real people.

Asheville-based band, Rooster, is made up of Erin Kinard on drums and Annie Myers on guitar and was formed by two strangers around a campfire in the summer of 2016. Annie and Erin recorded their debut album, Bloodroot, in February 2019 in Swannanoa, NC with recording engineer and producer Matt Lohan. Rooster's first release was an eponymous collection of five original songs in 2017. Since then they have performed throughout Western North Carolina, creating both new songs and arrangements of beloved Americana. Annie and Erin thrive on the impact of powerful vocal harmony that blends into lush organic sounds like honey from the hive. In any configuration, the orchestrations are clean and uncluttered, but with a raw, gritty edge. They seem right at home in a wine bar, brew pub, honky-tonk or at a backyard barbecue. Rooster's Bloodroot made it onto WNCW's top 100 albums of 2020. 
 
Kris Hitchcock, the heartland troubadour, journeying from the rugged landscapes of Michigan to the vibrant streets of Nashville and New Orleans before settling in North Carolina. With his band, the SouthEnd Mistakes, Kris weaves tales of love, loss, and life's winding roads through raw, untamed melodies. Bursting onto the scene with five albums, Kris Hitchcock paints a vivid portrait of the rust belt's highs and lows, searching for love and purpose amidst blues-dripped heartland rock anthems. With a new self-produced record on the horizon, Kris and the SouthEnd Mistakes continue to captivate audiences with their high-energy performances and soul-stirring ballads, promising an unforgettable musical journey where every note strikes a chord and every lyric speaks to the heart.

“The Get Right Band filters 60’s/70’s psychedelia and 90’s alternative rock through a modern lens–
as if Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana co-wrote an album produced by Danger Mouse and Dan Auerbach.”-American Songwriter
 
The Get Right Band is a psychedelic indie rock power trio committed to relentlessly following their muses to honest self-expression, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory, to capturing some version of truth. American Songwriter writes that the Asheville, NC based group, “filters 60’s/70’s psychedelia and 90’s alternative rock through a modern lens–as if Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana co-wrote an album produced by Danger Mouse and Dan Auerbach.”
The Get Right Band formed in 2011, built around the musical brotherhood that guitarist/singer/songwriter Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school (25 years!). Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, has guitar chops that can soothe or rage, with a charismatic swagger as frontman and singer. Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (The Mountain Xpress). Over the years, GRB has defined their sound through constant evolution, building to the hook-driven, synth-heavy pop/rock/psych band they are today. The Huffington Post writes, “their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.” 
 
“The Get Right Band are the type of performers that you just know will break out.Their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.”
– The Huffington Post
 
The Get Right Band has shared the stage with Dr. Dog, Everclear, Cracker, UB40, Rusted Root, Smash Mouth, and Lifehouse; been featured on NPR’s World Cafe, Paste Studio, and WTF with Marc Maron; and performed at major venues and festivals including The Fillmore, Brooklyn Bowl, Theatre of the Living Arts, The Orange Peel, FloydFest, Bristol Rhythm & Roots, and Riverbend Fest. They have released four studio albums and a live album, and their latest LP, iTopia, dropped on April 7, 2023.
 
 
Based in the sprawling Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, The Sleeping Cliffs is a solo studio project from multi-instrumentalist Todd Glidewell. Combining elements of indietronica, post-rock, alternative, funk, jazz-fusion and ambient electronica, The Sleeping Cliffs produce emotive, cinematic, instrumental songs. Though not boxed in by any one genre, the songs share an undertow of gritty bass lines, layers of guitar, and big rock drums.
