Description

THE WAYMORES: "The husband and wife Atlanta-based duo of Willie Heath Neal and Kira Annalise bring to mind a rebooted incarnation of Conway and Loretta, Porter and Dolly, and Johnny and June... sharing instead songs flush with aptitude and appeal... It’s an unapologetic approach that Waylon, Willie, and Johnny helped pioneer early on and would likely approve of even now." – AMERICAN SONGWRITER “Neal, Annalise and company just kick it into gear, get to the ever-loving point, and then ready themselves for the next song. Honky-tonk Americana, sure, but to these ears, it’s like The Waymores, across The Stone Sessions, are the honky-tonk Ramones or something.” A- grade – THE VINYL DISTRICT “On…The Stone Sessions, the duo amp up their rootsy approach with nods to fellow traditionalists Johnny Cash, June Carter, John Prine and Iris DeMent…heartfelt ‘honky-tonk Americana’ music.” – ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION “While 21st-century Nashville pays lip service to this timeless sound, the Waymores keep it alive.” – VINTAGE GUITAR “Right away, this appealing husband and wife team impress us with a twangy sound that’s the definition of classic country honkytonk. Prominent in every song are the duo’s voices, which possess an incredible amount of character.” – MUSIC CONNECTION www.TheWaymores.com KARLY DRIFTWOOD: "In the past, we’ve been good at calling winners. We called Sturgill, Tyler Childers, and Colter Wall. We’re calling it next for Karly Driftwood." - FARCE THE MUSIC Eddie’s Attic Songwriter Top 3 Finalist, Karly Driftwood, has one of the most intriguing and original backstories. In one day, she worked in the mortuary lab, wrote songs on lunch break, and worked late night in strip clubs to save up for studio time. In 2019, she released her debut album 'Too Mean To Die'. The album was engineered by Jake Clayton & Rob Daniels (Tanya Tucker, Brandi Carlile, Sunny Sweeney), mixed by Steve Blackmon (Josh Turner, Justin Moore, Black Shelton), and mastered by Chris Gehringer (Drake, Rihanna, Jay-Z). Since then, she has opened up for acts such as Lucero, Chuck Ragan, Cory Branan, Charlie Parr, etc. www.KarlyDriftwood.com LANCE ROGERS: “Rogers has given us all a taste of his gift, and it’s nothing short of breathtaking – another example of the Kentucky influence burning from the Appalachian foothills." - The Amp Lance Rogers draws from his blue-collar roots and the love of his Kentucky home in the Bluegrass region. He is a singer-songwriter who tells Americana stories through roots music that is rugged and sometimes raw, with country, folk, and Appalachian influences. You'll hear traces of your own memories and life experiences in the unmistakable originality of a hard-working Kentuckian's unique perspective as he paints musical portraits that touch a range of emotions. He has opened for Arlo McKinley, Justin Wells, Billy Don Burns, Chris Knight, Ward Davis, Band of Heathens, Stoney LaRue, and many more. His self-titled, debut album was released in October of 2021. https://www.facebook.com/lancerogersmusic
