The Dead & Down are an exploratory roots-rock band inspired as much by the vast landscapes and dramatic mountain ranges of their Montana home as they are by the myriad musical influences that weave through their sound. Based around the introspective songwriting and dusty vocals of frontman Taylor Burlage, the band navigates sonic trails between rust-flecked alt country and swampy rock ‘n’ roll, with detours through psychedelia and genre-bending experimentation. Their recently released sophomore album, No Broken Bones, displays the sound of a band hungry to find out what lies beyond the next ridge and only just beginning their journey.

“The Dead & Down have a sound that doesn't fit into one bin. They combine elements of Country, Americana, and Rock for a sonic experience that stays interesting. Their new song, “Switchbacks” has a solid country-rock feel, but the break in the middle is a lot more akin to prog rock. It's a combo that works!” - Bob Wall, KGVM Bozeman

“Alt-country, but on the moon––– and still so down to earth.” - The Pulp, Missoula

Ronnie and The Redwoods is a West Texas Americana/Rock band that has brought deep and emotional lyrics together with music rooted in the blues, folk, and country of the high plains. Honest and earthy, with influences from The White Stripes, Tyler Childers, John Prine, and the Red Dirt scene that surrounds them, they’ve formed their own interpretation of what happens when you combine Folk, Country, and Rock n Roll.

Patrick B Ray is a Texas country singer-songwriter with a sound that blends elements of 1960s and neotraditional country, bluegrass, old time, blues, and Texas swing. He is a versatile performer who excels as a solo/duo act or with a full band.

Patrick's stage presence is warm and engaging, and he is known for his high-energy performances and his ability to connect with audiences of all ages. He is also a gifted songwriter, and his music is known for its authenticity and catchy melodies.

In 2021, Patrick released his debut album, Texas Man, which is a collection of autobiographical songs that chronicle Patrick's life and experiences growing up in Texas. In 2022 and 2023, Patrick has released a steady stream of singles that represent an evolution of his sound as he continually seeks to refine his sound. 2022 saw him play over 80 shows from New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, California, Montana, Wyoming, and Texas, while 2023 has seen him busy helping to build the Houston honky tonk scene, often playing weekly shows at local venues while sharing the stage with touring acts stopping in Houston.

An Americana Folk Country Rock group led by U.S. Army & Song Writer veteran front man, John Teague.

 John Teague grew up in a family of farmers, saddle makers, construction workers and veterans. His blue-collar background taught him the value of hard work and the rewards that come from personal accomplishment. John—who runs a humble ranch and construction company in his hometown of Winnie, TX with his wife Desirae — he also is an Army veteran, having served a four-year stint that included a life-changing tour of duty in Iraq. The Teague Brothers Band's 2019 debut album Harvest Day earned widespread acclaim from critics and fans, and the tracks "Coyote", "Rainbow Bridge", and "Fingers and Thumbs" became surprise regional hits. On the Teague Brothers Band's new single “American Folk Song” John's emotionally precise songwriting explores the trials and triumphs of real life. While songwriting has earned John a reputation as one of the Lone Star state's most skilled young artists, the Teague Brothers Band have earned the loyalty of fans thru high-energy live performances. "Don't Want To Go Home", landed the Teague Brothers Band at number 2 on multiple Texas Charts.  "We love playing music people can dance to, but we also do a little more rock 'n' roll," Teague asserts. "We fit-in in dancehalls, larger concerts, and listening rooms.  Wherever they'll let us through the door." Their show is high-energy, boot stomping fun for all.  Whether you're their for the message or the music, the Teague Brothers Band deliver on both.  Teague and his bandmates are on the road and building on their prior successes every week. "I take a lot of pride in what we're doing," Teague concludes, " and I don't give up easy."

After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule. They have returned to the road post-pandemic stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can.

The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a batch of incredible new songs and an undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show to festivals, theaters and clubs around the world.

“We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts.

For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of a traditional record company.

“The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,” adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co-producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way”.

The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. In recent years, the band has appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos and Chris Issak.

Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows. After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind.

“That was always the idea,” Roberts said. “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up with.”

One of the reasons Susan Gibson always keeps a banjo close at hand, be it in the studio or at every show she plays, is because she likes the "lift" it brings to counterbalance a particularly heavy lyric: "Almost like it's got a smile attached to it," she says. But as much as she loves the instrument, the fact is, she really doesn't have to reach for it that often. Not because she shies away from such material, but because her naturally buoyant melodies and warmly reassuring, conversational singing and writing voice more often than not provide all the lift she needs to light up any song, room, or mood. For proof, just listen to The Hard Stuff — the award-winning Texas songwriter's seventh release as a solo artist and her first full-length album since 2011's Tight Rope. Much like the EP that preceded it, 2016's Remember Who You Are, the aptly-titled The Hard Stuff is rooted in grief; Gibson wrote the album in the midst of coming to terms with the death of first one parent and then the other in the span of four years, a time during which she says her career became far less of a priority to her than her family. But it was that very period of slowing down for emotional recalibration that ultimately pulled her out of the dark and back into the light. As she sings on The Hard Stuff's disarmingly playful title track, "Nothing lifts a heavy heart like some elbow grease and a funny bone" — and even when Gibson's not laughing at herself, her refreshingly clear-eyed perspectives on matters of life, love, work, and loss (sometimes all within the same song, as in the invigorating opener "Imaginary Lines" and the deeply moving "Wildflowers in the Weeds") illuminate the whole album with a spirit-charging current of resiliency. Of course, anyone familiar with Gibson's music knows that she's had that in her all along, from her salad days in the beloved Amarillo, Texas-based Amerciana band the Groobees back in the ’90s and from the get-go of her solo career with 2003's Chin Up. It was even all there at the very beginning, when she wrote a little song in college called "Wide Open Spaces" that grew up to become (with a little help from the Dixie Chicks) one of the biggest country songs of all time. Turns out all she had to do to rediscover it and get herself back on the road to embracing both life and art was to heed the best advice her father ever gave her, three little words that millions of Dixie Chicks fans (and a whole lotta Susan Gibson fans over the years, too) sing along to at every show: "Check the oil!"

Seattle psych folk rock band, Forest Ray, began as a recording project in 2015. They combine guitar driven psych rock with elements of folk rock and organ-laden pop. Their songs regularly explore diverse instrumentation, which have become staples of the group's brand of rock n' roll. Through a consistent touring and recording schedule, they have become one of Seattle’s most known active bands. They played over 75 shows in 2022 across the United States and toured Canada with Vinyl Williams in the spring of 2023. Their sixth studio album, Windfucker (Jebivjetar), will be released in January 2024 after they return from their European tour and play at The Sound of Bronkow music festival.

“If you want to put a fine enough point on it, Forest Ray’s often rootsy, very handmade sound could be dubbed Americana. But the Seattle band infuses that foundation with trips to the psych-rock well, and some classic pop-song construction. Lead singer/guitarist/principal songwriter Peter Sumic’s terrific, affecting tunes often sound like The Band covering Beatles songs no one knew existed.” - Tony Kay, Artist Home
