Justin Townes Earle accepted the 2011 Americana Music Award for Song of the Year, Harlem River Blues and then took off to the western mountains of North Carolina to record his next album, Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now. With a perfect blend of Country and Soul, Justin has secured his place in the music industry. His lyrics are simple, but heartfelt and you know he means every bit that he writes and sings.
John McCauley of Deer Tick joins Justin and brings his blend of Folk, Country, & Rock. It’s actually pretty hard to place Deer Tick in one genre and that’s what makes them interesting. The styles vary on just about every song- from chilled out Indie tunes to Rockabilly Americana, they’ve got some great stuff.

Marc Broussard is an artist with a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock and soul into contemporary terms. Throughout his life, Broussard has been tapped as a talent to watch.Marc’s song “Home” was successful at radio and catapulted him onto the national touring stage. His music has been placed in many TV shows and movies. Marc inked a deal with Vanguard records in July 2012 and will be writing and recording this fall. He will be releasing an LP early 2013 as well as touring extensively.
David Ryan Harris heard music, stories and melodies in his head as a child. He was drawn to the blues after hearing songs by Son House, Robert Johnson and others and grew up at time when Prince, Parliament/Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder and other musicians were stretching the boundaries of popular music Harris began to understand that music could not and should not be limited by our often narrow views of what it should be. With his own musical projects and a working resume including Dave Matthews, Cassandra Wilson, Derek Trucks, Santana, Marc Broussard, Guy Sebastian and John Mayer, he won’t be an act to miss!
Heavily influenced by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson, Georgia native Ben Deignan grew up as a soul junky. The singer/songwritter has spent the last 5 years in Atlanta crafting a soulful pop/rock sound that’s all his own, and in addition to writing, recording, and touring nationally, Ben has frequented London’s Kensaltown Studios, teaming up with their Grammy-winning songwriters and expanding his writing career into the UK.

MUTEMATH started in 2001 as a long distance collaboration between Paul Meany in New Orleans, Louisiana and Darren King in Springfield, Missouri. The band’s newest album, Odd Soul, is their third studio release and first self-produced effort. Artistically, it’s a rock album that is unmistakably and inherently their own. Rooted in New Orleans rhythm and blues, fusing elements from psychedelia to traditional gospel to modern electronica, Odd Soul is constructed to live up to its title. “I think the title describes this record in every context.” Meany summarizes, “It’s who we are, where we’ve been, and what we incidentally sound like when set to music.”
