Food Truck: Pork Commander. More about Sam: Born in the heart of the Lone Star State, Sam Johnston learned early on that everything really is bigger in Texas. The poised and thoughtful composure of this music is no exception. Big guitar breaks, big vocal expositions, and big-time storytelling define his burgeoning repertoire. Sam effortlessly blends blues, neo-soul, and classic rock stylings with ease, flair, and a touch of psychedelic fun. Sam Johnston has accumulated hundreds of thousands of streams, charted #2 on the iTunes blues charts, and played alongside acts such as Christone KINGFISH Ingram, Colony House, 3OH!3, Bowling for Soup, and more. In 2021, Sam will be releasing his debut full length album produced by Drew Long (Judah & the Lion.) Spotify: SAM JOHNSTON Facebook: samjohnstonmusic Instagram: samjohnstonmusic More about Kelsey: Nashville based artist Kelsey Abbott writes songs that feel like the voice in the back of your head was finally given a mic. In April 2019, she released her debut EP, “Dreaming With My Eyes.” In it, she showcases her exceptional songwriting with a stripped-back, acoustic sound. She sounds familiar, but not quite. Now, in her latest endeavor, Kelsey is breaking the mold for herself by allowing new influences and circumstances to push her towards a new, more alternative/indie sound. This new project embodies what Kelsey has envisioned for so long. In such a unique season of life and surrounded by her intensely creative friends, she’s stepping out of her comfort zone in a way that seems to simply fall into place. Leading with the upcoming single “All My Friends,” listeners will quickly recognize Kelsey’s signature songwriting focusing on autobiographical lyrics that resonate. But beyond the surface, they’ll notice a more experimental edge, with as much emphasis on production as lyrics. “All My Friends” was created in the seemingly endless vacuum of extra time in quarantine, and Kelsey noticed that as the world stood still, her life did not. In response to the thousands of “What’s new?”s and “Nothing, really”s, “All My Friends” was born. It’s an anthem of unknowns — an invitation to a party that might never happen. And we hope you’ll RSVP. Spotify: Kelsey Abbott Instagram: Kelsey Abbott Sam Johnston, kelsey abbott
