Siberia My Sweet
Siberia My Sweet is an Atlanta based project with a goal to expand the landscape for new wave alternative rock by combining ambient subtlety with a melodic, yet more abrasive, core than the current standard. Forging a harmonious blend of opposites, the music creates a unique beauty that combines both the hard with the soft. Formed in the fall of 2005 by vocalist Kelly Andrews, Siberia My Sweet saw the addition of Luci Harrell (guitar) in 2006 and Erin Sellers (keys) in 2008. Currently showcasing in the southeastern region, Siberia My Sweet is well on its way to making an impact that won’t go unnoticed.

Duvasounds
Invigorating guitar / drums / bass rock instrumental… a cross between pepper sauce and orange juice.
SunDown
Atlanta based country rock band featuring strong songwriting, rich vocal harmonies and multi-instrumentation. With a unique blend of rock and country, an all around commitment to great songs, a passion for energetic live performances, SunDown is reshaping country music boundaries. In case you haven’t heard, SunDown is a brand new modern-classic country rock band pulling influences anywhere from “Little Big Town” and “Keith Urban” all the way back to “The Eagles” and “Fleetwood Mac”.
Jeremy Aggers
Drawing his influences from his travels, the news headlines and life as a theatre actor Jeremy Aggers has drawn comparisons that have put his talents above many a folk-rock legend. Midnight United called Aggers E.P. a “Great Debut…It showcases thoughtful and blindsiding lyrical prowess, clean guitars and a voice that exudes so much power with so little effort.” Those are some of the many reasons that folk legends like Nanci Griffith and Alasdair Roberts selected Aggers to open for them on recent tours.

With deep roots in the rock scene, The Greater Vavoom create the perfect union of dirty rock n’ roll attitude and bad ass thumping grooves.

Connor Christian and Southern Gothic
Equal parts modern troubadour, back road poet and outlaw rocker, Connor Christian creates gritty, soulful songs of experience revealing solace in hardship, hope in destitution, and a dust bowl sensibility. His powerful music draws on influences ranging from Ryan Adams, G. Love, and Counting Crows to The Band and Tumbleweed Connection-era Elton John and makes a heartfelt statement found at the crossroads of Roots Rock and Americana.
