Analog Blues with Blues on the Half Shell
ABOUT SHANNON MCNALLY
Thom Jurek at All Music said it best, “Only Gram Parsons’ term “Cosmic American Music” begins to touch her mercurial, changeling roots aesthetic, … McNally is a Zen-like, post-Beat song poet. For those who have followed McNallys nearly twenty year career the thing that most sticks with the listener about her, is the timeless effortlessness that she brings to all she does. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written, recorded and toured, McNally continues to turn out great music that defies blatant genre-fication.
ABOUT GARRY BURNSIDE
Garry Burnside is a Hill Country blues artist and the youngest son of the late legendary blues singer R.L. Burnside. The Holly Springs native grew up playing music with his father and late blues musician Junior Kimbrough. The gifted guitarist also plays his own brand of blues that he likes to call Funk Hill Country.

As one DJ puts it, Rebecca Loebe has an almost supernatural ability to get the crowd singing along. Over the past decade, the Austin-based singer-songwriter has taken her fans along for the ride, touring nonstop across the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, and the UK. If you love lyric driven, full-throated modern troubadours like Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and Phoebe Bridgers, then Rebecca Loebe is a must-listen.
After she performed her own arrangement of Nirvana’s ‘Come As You Are’ on the first season of NBCs The Voice, Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera fought for the chance to work with her. Adam professed, I just love listening to you sing. Loebe’s original songs have also earned recognition from critics, fans, and songwriting competitions around the world.
When shes not on tour, you can find her snuggling her puppy Lola, watering her vegetable garden, curled up with a good book, or in her home studio where she recently recorded an acoustic covers album called Secondhand Songs, which is available for free on her website.
For the rest of the year she’ll be performing a limited number of shows across the US, Europe, and the UK on The Back 40 Tour – a celebration of growing up with your heart on your sleeve.

ABOUT LORE
Laura Reed and Laur Joamets are Lore, a genre-bending Nashville duo mixing elements of metal, grunge, blues, and rock into raw, electric Americana anthems. Pairing Reeds gruff,bluesy alto wail with Joametss effortlessly agile guitar, Lores satisfying fusion feels completely attuned to the current moment: part smooth sailing, part careening chaos.
South African native Reed started songwriting as a street musician, later collaborating with funk icons George Clinton and Karl Denson before launching her solo career. In 2019 while recording a solo project at Sputnik Sound, she met Joamets, a classically trained Estonian guitarist whod toured with Sturgill Simpson and Drivin N Cryin and was recording an instrumental record. The pair formed a natural partnership based on a shared love for roots, blues, and gritty rocknroll. By 2020, theyd combined their separate projects into one.
Lores soulful mid-tempo debut single Surrender premiered on Rolling Stone in October 2020, followed by the buoyant, anarchic Gifts of Destruction and Disorder in December. In October 2021 they released I Walk Alone, a driving, intimate track evoking the rough-but-delicate sound of Karen Dalton, and in November dropped Woven, a bracing psychedelic-grunge tune with howling vocals and revolving guitar riffs. Lores debut album, co-produced by the band with Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton) and Dave Schools (Widespread Panic, Hard Working Americans), released November 2022.

KRISTIAN BUSH

The Sevierville, TN native launched his professional music career in 1994 with the Folk-Rock duo Billy Pilgrim. Within the decade, Kristian moved on to form Sugarland with Jennifer Nettles. The pair who released debut single “Baby Girl” in 2004, went on to chart five No. 1 hits and 12 Top 10 songs. His “Southern Gravity” solo debut in 2015 produced Top 20 hit “Trailer Hitch.” Kristian made a foray into television theme songs in 2016 with “Forever Now (Say Yes),” which he penned and performed for TLC’s popular show “Say Yes to the Dress.”
The multi-instrumentalist is also a founding member of Rock Jam band Dark Water alongside his brother Brandon Bush and esteemed guitarist Benji Shanks. In addition, Kristian co-wrote a song for the Atlanta staging of Stephen Schwartz’s “Working: A Musical” and has written three musicals. “Troubadour” (2017) and “Darlin’ Cory” (2021) opened at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre, and “Me Before You. While Kristian has stayed active on the music scene, the projects that have been released represent a small portion of the songs he’s written over the years. His latest creative adventure “52” is a 52-song four-album collection of his favorite tracks that have been tucked away in his back catalog. He divided the songs into four albums following the themes of a country R&B, summer, rock and life, which are available now. 52s first volume ATL x BNA begins with two songs about death and this last volume ends with a New Years resolution to spend more time with your people no matter who they are, including yourself, Kristian says. My wish is that listeners will start to connect different songs in different ways as if it was their job to collect these songs into their own individual albums.

Noah Guthrie
ABOUT NOAH GUTHRIE
Music has been at the forefront of Noahs life for as long as he can remember. With his familys musical roots running deep, Guthries dream was always to be an artist and musician, but he didnt realize he could make it a reality until he started posting videos online. At that point, he knew he had the opportunity to turn his dream into a career.

While hes received national attention for his creative YouTube covers, including posting a blues-filled version of LMFAOs Sexy and I Know It, which has received more than 26 million views, and his pivotal role as Roderick Meeks on FOXs hit TV show, Glee, its clear to see that Noahs real talent shines through putting pen to paper and crafting original music. While he was able to showcase his unscripted musical talents with his semi-finals run on season 13 of NBCs Americas Got Talent, he is committed to giving his fans original music and being the authentic singer-songwriter that hes always wanted to be.
With a sound described as an Americana/Alt Country blend that is similar to Chris Stapletons country/rock tracks, the unique soulfulness in his richly textured voice and the unmistakable Southern influence in his music makes him capable of conveying an emotion that only a handful of artists can in todays musical landscape. Noahs versatility and distinct voice is evident in each song. Noah isnt trying to box himself into any specific genre; for him, its just about making good, honest music music that sounds like him.
To date, Noah has built a strong following through social media and television and released two critically-acclaimed albums. He has also performed on NBCs Today Show and Tonight Show, Hallmark Channels Home & Family, and ABCs Dancing with the Stars.

With career highlights like opening up for Willie Nelson on multiple occasions and touring Europe five times, its just a matter of time before the world sees what Noah will accomplish next. With new music on the horizon, an energetic band by his side, a loyal fanbase behind him, the sky’s the limit for Noah Guthrie.

Bertha: Grateful Drag
“The musicians of BERTHA are proving that drag queens and the Grateful Dead are not such strange bedfellows” – Yahoo Entertainment
“Nashville’s BERTHA gives the Dead an irreverent, joyful makeover” – Rolling Stone
ABOUT BERTHA
BERTHA is the world’s first Grateful Drag band. An all-star collective of female, queer and allied East Nashville musicians, coming together in wigs and full face for a good cause. Fronted by a harmony trio of Berthas and backed by a rocking all-Bertha band, their origin story is said to be as follows:
In the mid 1990s, just after Jerry Garcias tragic and untimely demise, a deadhead janitor working at Area 51 gained access to top secret time travel technology and took it upon himself to retrieve Jerrys severed middle finger at the moment he lost it in 1946. He thought, if he could just get the DNA to the right scientists, cloning technology might one day be able to bring Jerry back. Breakthroughs in the early 2000s found that a compound in LSD could activate dormant genes to replicate sufficiently to grow a functioning human body in a lab. The theory was: if they could mix Jerrys DNA with the original Owsley acid, it could create a Jerry clone that would reunite the Grateful Dead to continue their long strange trip. Unfortunately, they mixed up the vials and the first seven clones were the bastard children of Jerrys finger DNA and the infamous Brown Acid. These pitiful yet beautiful creatures were musical mutants, with the chops of their father but a physical form all but unseen in the jam band world – that of a woman. After being cast out of the lab, and the experiment shut down as a failure, these orphan queens each took the name BERTHA in solidarity with one another and formed a band.
