The Couldn't Be Happiers are a married, songwriting alt-country/Americana duo from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Jordan Crosby Lee (guitar and vocals) is a born again North Carolinian originally from Texas. His love of Texas music still runs deep, and his conversational songwriting style is redolent of Robert Earl Keen and Bruce Robison.  North Carolina native Jodi Hildebran Lee (drums, harmonica, and vocals) brings a more traditional/bluesy country dressing to their sound. Her voice is bold, brilliant, and hair-raisingly beautiful. Their sound is uniquely their own, but if a comparison must be made, think Violent Femmes meets Johnny & June. They cover everything from their love for each other to the rueful life of a Sasquatch hunter. The lyrics are nuanced, funny, and purposeful.

 

The duo’s first full-length album, "Songs for Butchie," is out now in three volumes. The album is named in honor of Jordan's late father, John Lee, who passed away on November 3, 2020, from a rare brain cancer.  "Butchie" was undoubtedly the band's biggest fan, and his faith in Jordan and Jodi is what drove them to finally write and release this album.  Melissa Clarke, Ph.D., of Americana Highways called their music on this album “witty and entertaining, even as the lyrics weave in serious topics to consider.”

 

They also just wrapped filming a commercial for a fancy ad agency, but they can’t talk about it until it comes out almost a year from now…but, they are super stoked about it.  They also got a few songs into a sync library in 2022, so they've got their fingers crossed they might show up somewhere on your TV or computer soon...

BIO:

Katie Sachs is an Asheville, NC - based songwriter, powerhouse vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, who sings from the guts and delivers a raw, urgently emotional musical experience to listeners. Through eccentric lyrics and catchy melodies, Katie reveals an inner world that is brutally honest, deeply vulnerable, and highly relatable.  Her appreciation of wide-ranging musical styles comes through in her work, and makes it hard to put a label on her.  If influences were ingredients, they would include: a base of Billie Holiday, a dash of David Byrne, a pinch of Pixies, and a flavor of Feist. 

BRAGS:

With a degree in creative writing, extensive national touring, and over 20 years of songwriting behind her, Katie is a seasoned performer who knows how to connect with her audience and make them cry, laugh, ponder, and fall silent.  She has performed at iconic venues such as: Club Passim in Boston, MA, Hole in the Wall, Strangebrew and the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX, and the Threadgill stage at Kerrville Folk Festival. Co-bills include the likes of Heather Maloney, Ley Line, Peter Tork (Of the Monkees) and trading songs around campfires with a then-unknown Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief.) Katie's full catalogue of music (4 albums, from 2012 - 2021) can be downloaded on Bandcamp. Stream music on Spotify and all other online streaming platforms or catch one of her live shows!

 

Jack Adamant is a Italian singer/songwriter who now lives and records in Stockholm and has just released his sophomore album ”Obscure Places & Cupboards” on AR Recordings. Produced by Jack and his drummer Ged at home mainly during lockdown, the new record has a more indie-punk feel to it compared with his 2019 debut ”Unkind”.

From Landon Gray - My name is Landon Gray, and I am an independent artist originally from West Jefferson, NC, up in the holler around the Blue Ridge Parkway. Counting up all of my musical endeavors, I have written, recorded, produced, and released two full-length albums,  two EPs, and 19 singles. The most recent being the “A Brief Cosmic Cinematic Experience” EP, where I wrote each song, played all the instruments, recorded and produced the whole thing; all from my one bedroom apartment’s living room.

I’ve played shows all over the state, from Ashe County to Raleigh to Charlotte, fronted my own band and have even been signed by two small labels during this wild ride!

Under the heavy influence of the masters such as The Beatles, Elvis , and many more modern artists like–fellow North Carolinian musicians–The Avett Brothers, I have crafted a new but uniquely nostalgic sound, that blends together my surroundings and experiences. My hope is that my music will resonate with people, that when someone listens to one of my little songs that I’ve recorded in my living room, huddled over my guitar and computer, that they feel something, or think about things that maybe they wouldn’t have ordinarily considered.

So if you’re feeling like your ears need a good wiggle and your toes need a good tap, look me up, wherever you get your tunes, and maybe you’ll find what you’ve been itching for.

 

 

An Original band out of Raleigh, NC, WhoIAre’s style is a blend of Psychedelic, Funk, Soul and Rock. Their latest release, “Paradox”, was mixed and mastered by Dwarf Star Studios (Carrboro)

Squatch is led by Burke County native Mat Masterson. His skillful songwriting and lyrical prowess shine, and yet still leave plenty of room for the world class musicians in the band to bring the house down. The songs are steeped in the joys and sorrows of growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, traveling the world to escape them, and eventually landing right back at home to focus on family and community. Squatch is an ever changing, ever growing collective of musicians hand-picked by Masterson throughout his years back home in WNC from the finest players the region has to offer.

 

Formed in Austin in the spring of 2022, Irondequoit Dodge started when guitarist Eric Legeer and banjo player Rita Bliss swiped right on Vampr. They bonded over their respective home towns near Rochester NY and set out to find a bassist. Jimmie Scott Calhoun responded to their craigslist ad and fit right in. They recorded an EP in July and stay busy performing in and around Austin, TX.

Krave Amiko began in early 2019 by Rob Walsh and a handful of songs crafted by combining homemade lo-fi acoustic guitar samples, trip-hop inspired rhythm sections, and lyrical storytelling. The line-up is made complete by Stephanie Barcelona- vox, Nestor Teran- guitar/keys, Jonathan Harwood- drums, and Sam Barker- bass

 

Kelsey Montanez is one of Chicago’s best kept secrets. Both intimate and ecstatic, smokey and scorching, her potent blend of blues, pop, and psychedelia has been turning heads for over a decade. Among the singer-songwriter’s many talents, it’s Montanez’s arresting voice that has captured a devoted fanbase. It comes as no surprise that her visceral 2013 EP “A Delightful Sadness” scored her a record contract and music video with Chance the Rapper on lead single “Out of Sight.” True to her strong sense of independence, Montanez subsequently opted to pursue her own uncompromising artistic vision. It took a pandemic worth of isolation and heartbreak to transform that raw power into the refined spectacle that is her first record in over a decade. Bolstered by the pristine production of Bill Karambelas and internationally acclaimed session musicians, her music is both transcendent and catchy, demonstrating the songwriter’s range and ability to transform deeply personal lyrics into searing and seductive rock. While conjuring vocalists like Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill, Montanez possesses her own unmistakable voice. Kelsey Montanez has been listed in the Chicago REDEYE as “15 artists to Watch" and celebrated in the Chicago Reader and Chicago Tribune. Montanez has headlined prominent Chicago venues such as the Metro, House of Blues, as well as festivals such as SXSW. Recently, Montanez was awarded the 2020 Magellan Musician in Residence at the historic Aqua Building.

Gold Light is the musical project of Joe Chang. Tracking through cinematic tales of heartache, love and loss while bouncing effortlessly between genres from 50’s rock and roll to post-punk to classic country and folk, Gold Light becomes a catchall for Chang’s prismatic take on American music.

Currently based in Asheville and forming in 2013, Joe has written, self-recorded, and performed most of the instrumentation on his five full-length albums. Fleshing out the band live with a rotating cast of musicians throughout the years, Gold Light has played over 200 shows with the majority of them being on the road. “Blood Summer”, Gold Light’s latest album, comes out 3 February, 2022.
