Jesse Dayton
Jesse Dayton isn’t just an unsung hero of modern-day American music; he’s a towering figure in the realm of Outlaw Country, a master storyteller who effortlessly blurs the boundaries between genres and disciplines. With a career spanning multiple decades, Dayton has left an indelible mark as a chart-topping songwriter, guitar virtuoso, author, frontman, sideman, producer, and relentless road warrior. From his early days with the Road Kings, where he fearlessly melded Texas Rockabilly and Country with the raw energy of Punk Rock, Dayton has been a trailblazer. His innovative style not only earned him acclaim but also paved the way for collaborations with legends like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. Over the years, Dayton’s collaborations have spanned a diverse array of artists, from blues sensation Samantha Fish—his partner on the Grammy-nominated Death Wish Blues—to icons of country like Willie Nelson and Glenn Campbell, rock rebels such as Guns ‘N Roses’ Duff McKagan and Glenn Danzig, and even visionary horror filmmakers like Rob Zombie. Yet amidst this vast spectrum of work, Dayton’s solo albums stand as a testament to his refusal to be confined by genre, earning him recognition as a roots-rock renaissance man.

Doom Flamingo
Doom Flamingo is a multi-headed synth rock sexy-tet with a Jekyll and Hyde element to the songwriting. Top Gun guitar riffs and Miami Beach poolside lounge-vibes, are all at once contrasted with eerie darksynth soundscapes reminiscent of old John Carpenter films.
Doom Flamingo came together organically through friendships and past collaborations in their hometown of Charleston, South Carolina and features dynamic vocals alongside a powerhouse of musicians and soaring instrumentation.
“We’re just here to make people dance.”

Kitchen Dwellers
The Kitchen Dwellers have swiftly ascended to the forefront of the jamgrass scene, earning acclaim from critics and fans alike for their exhilarating live shows and innovative approach to bluegrass. Described by Bluegrass Today as “a sonic powerhouse,” their high-energy performances seamlessly blend virtuosic instrumentals with spontaneous, genre-defying jams, creating an electric atmosphere that keeps audiences on their feet. Their unique brand of fast-paced, psychedelic bluegrass has been hailed by JamBase as “a thrilling fusion of tradition and innovation,” showcasing their ability to push musical boundaries while staying rooted in bluegrass fundamentals.
Critics have praised The Kitchen Dwellers’ ability to capture their live energy in the studio, with their albums receiving glowing reviews for their inventive compositions and tight harmonies. Relix Magazine highlighted their “impeccable musicianship and dynamic range,” while Glide Magazine commended their “ability to weave intricate soundscapes that transport listeners to new realms.” Whether on stage or in the studio, The Kitchen Dwellers consistently deliver performances that are technically impressive and deeply soulful, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting and innovative acts in contemporary bluegrass.
ShadowGrass
With their fast picking and fresh arrangements, ShadowGrass is moving forward in the bluegrass genre by incorporating each member’s varied influences into a fresh project that branches outside the bounds of traditional music while maintaining traditional instrumentation. Each of the band members grew up in a culturally rich area of traditional music, which heavily influences their approach to music. Feeding off of each other’s musical ideas and energy, their music proves to be a constantly evolving world that draws the audience in at every show.
