Marshall Sidbury has been writing songs since he left home in the New Mexico desert to work as a cattle hand on the rodeo circuit. One night after the rodeo, he was stabbed by a jealous husband in an Arkansas juke joint and had a spiritual awakening. He quit the rodeo and left the next day to play the piano in a travelling Pentecostal revival, until he was bitten multiple times by a venomous snake and could not travel to the next destination. After he recovered, he took a job in a tobacco warehouse near Durham, North Carolina, where he lives today. 

Chris McGinnis is a songwriter in Raleigh, North Carolina. Since he was 13 years old, Chris has performed in groups ranging from rock n roll cover bands to Flamenco guitar ensembles. Drawing from his upbringing in the Blue Ridge Mountains and a love for storytelling, Chris' songs utilize a unique brand of country-rock to tell tales of starry-eyed troubadours and working-class romantics. There's a sense of hope and a sense of sorrow in his music, and the songs often bounce between a sniffle and a hiccup. Stay on the lookout as he saunters around North Carolina, and check out his brand new EP, Songs for You.

Local NC State musical group.

Born on the banks of the Shenandoah River, the Low Water Bridge Band got their start at a late night jam. Picking tunes around the campfire, it was clear that a band was in the making.

Formed in a North Carolina dormitory in 2012, The Nude Party celebrates the clanging rock of the '60s while blending modern elements that have made them beloved by fans of all ages.Originally an extended group of childhood friends and step-siblings who decided to start a band, The Nude Party began learning to play instruments at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. The band is comprised of lead vocalist/guitarist Patton Magee, vocalist/lead guitarist Shaun Couture, organist/pianist Don Merrill, bass player Alec Castillo, percussionist Austin Brose, and drummer Connor Mikita. Most members also sing backup. Soon after coming together, the sextet moved into a lake house and started a nightly ritual of jamming in the basement. It was at a regular gig as the house band at a certain Boone party locale that the group's practice of performing in the buff earned them a local reputation as "the naked party band." They adopted the moniker The Nude Party just in time to move onto bookings at local clubs and bars, where they had to perform clothed.They debuted with the Hot Tub EP in 2016 and followed up the their eponymous full-length debut in 2018. The Nude Party was heralded by Rolling Stone as "equal parts 'I'm Waiting for the Man' Velvet Underground and Exile on Main Street Stones."

Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does. Signal Fire is a group of diverse musicians with a common goal, to spread unity through music.
