Rye Valley

Working-class Americana troubadours delivering original songs and a signature sound from the heart of the rustbelt, the Cuyahoga Valley. Rye Valley grew out of the rich musical soil unique to Akron, Ohio, after nearly a decade of casual collaboration between founding members, Brett Auerbach (not related to Dan) and Landon Kearns. The two formally launched Rye Valley in 2021 to showcase the pairing of Auerbach’s heartfelt songwriting and soulful tenor with Kearns’s percussive multi-instrumentalism and subtle harmonies. Tyler Lobdell’s guitar wizardry brought a trio to life, further honing the emotive “Rye Valley Sound”. In the fall of ’24 and again in the winter of ’25, the Rye Valley Trio toured as opening support for legendary singer/songwriter Clem Snide (Eef

Valeria Stewart

American Argentinian-born singer-songwriter Valeria Stewart blends Latin American traditions, folk, jazz, and Americana in songs that bridge cultures and languages. Born in Buenos Aires and raised in the Washington, DC area, she brings an intimate presence to the stage, performing in English and Spanish.

Her album Raíces spent three consecutive months at #1 on the World Music chart and reached the Top 10 on the Latin Jazz chart. Her latest album, On A Wing, continues her exploration of her American and Argentine roots through stories that blend love, nature, identity, and nostalgia.

Chills! Goosebumps! That’s what people say when they hear the stellar female vocals and harmonies of Mama’s Black Sheep with Sweet Leda. When the bands combine, a supergroup is born. Come enjoy a night of laughs, stories, grooves, heartfelt originals, and friendship. For fans of Lake Street Dive, Bonnie Raitt, and Brandi Carlile.

Ragged Union's signature bluegrass-and-beyond sound has appeared at festivals, concert series and events all across the USA, England, and China, since 2013. Past performances include IBMA Wide Open Bluegrass, John Hartford Memorial Festival, Northwest String Summit, Durango Meltdown, Shrewsbury Folk Festival (England), and the Qingdao International Beer Festival (China), to name a few. The band’s recipe for tasty contemporary bluegrass contains three main ingredients: ‘Outsider Songwriting’ - poetic lyrics that stretch beyond the ‘normal’ country themes, ‘Timeless Melodies’ that are new, yet sound familiar and classic, and ‘Unexpected Arrangements', rich compositional ideas, changes in feel and tempo, and an overall songwriting approach that isn’t trying to conform to what everyone else is doing. All of these concepts come together in an impressively exciting and memorable live performance.

Slap Dragon was born in 2023 when bassist Scott Mulvahill and vocalist Laura Berens began writing together and quickly stumbled into a sound that felt both fresh and familiar. Backed by some of Nashville’s finest session musicians, the band fuses soulful vocals, acoustic textures, and groove-heavy arrangements—a sound that blends bluegrass, disco, funk, and R&B into something unmistakably their own. Their music is crafted with intention, yet their live performances always leave room for improvisation, surprise, and play.

The band made its live debut on June 1, 2024 in Nashville, followed shortly by a performance at Bonnaroo, where their infectious energy and musicianship helped them stand out. Their first singles, “Girl Dinner” and “Already Won,” introduced listeners to their signature mix of tight arrangements and joyful spontaneity. On social media, Slap Dragon has begun building notable momentum, with steady growth on TikTok and Instagram—including an Instagram video of “Already Won” surpassing 260,000 views.

Community is at the core of Slap Dragon’s identity. Scott and Laura aim to create spaces where audiences feel free to move, laugh, and connect— shows that feel more like shared celebrations than performances. Their blend of groove, humor, and musical depth attracts listeners across genres and generations.

In October 2025, Slap Dragon surpassed their Kickstarter fundraising goals, paving the way for their debut full-length album, set for release in 2026. With growing online traction, an engaged fanbase, and a dynamic live show, Slap Dragon continues to expand their presence onstage and online—offering a musical experience rooted in community, musicianship, and pure fun.

“It is inspiring to hear a Nashville band with old-time songs and genuine talent…”

Combining the best of Americana and blues melodies with timeless Southern storytelling, award winning vocalist Stephanie Adlington and guitarist Aaron Lessard draw influence from the likes of Tom Waits and Ray LaMontagne, along with bedrock artists such as Patsy Cline and Hank Williams Sr. A Tale Of Two has opened for notable artists such as Mary Gauthier, Grayson Capps, and Peter Mulvey. Not unlike the artists who inspired them, the duo’s songs frequently dabble in stories of revenge, drinking and feature sinners of all stripes and persuasions. 

Oozing an infectious stage presence and chemistry that carries over from the music to the back and forth banter between songs, “A Tale Of Two” offers a different kind of Americana – storytelling by a swampy pair of retro raconteurs spinning blues arias with soul, intrigue and power.
