Cary Laine

Cary Laine, the blue-eyed beauty from the beaches of Alabama may be the biggest thing to enter the Alt Country and Americana music scene since Dolly Parton. Armed with an acoustic guitar and a powerhouse voice, her tone can put its listener at immediate attention as she delivers her message with no apologies. Since her national introduction on NBC's The Voice (and turning all four chairs) in 2014, Cary has been touring, writing new material, and releasing her first ever full-length album, entitled “Miss Alabama”. The Voice was a catalyst to Laine's career, growing her fan base to hundreds of thousands within days. After parting with the show, it was only natural to get back to writing and begin recording her debut album, with the help of Anthony Crawford at Admiral Bean Studios. Laine has more than her fair share of sass and soul, and she is more than the girl on The Voice with the red cowboy boots.

Blue Mother Tupelo

Blue Mother Tupelo is Ricky and Micol Davis. Chosen 2022 Music Artist of the Year by The Southland Music Line, the married songwriting & recording artist team has a natural way of sharing their music in a celebration of real-life that can be raucous, worshipful, & tender.

Rising up from the bluffs of Memphis and the mountains of east Tennessee, through the Mississippi Delta, Nashville, & now Como, Mississippi, Blue Mother Tupelo oozes a deep kind of blue southern soul & roots rock sound that's been described as truly Americana. They bring a seasoned edge to American Roots Rock.

Blue Mother Tupelo’s new album, TAKE ME WITH YOU, rides the cusp of Rock ’n’ Roll, Country Rock, Hill Country Blues, & Ballad and is a celebration of the spirit & influences they can’t help but create. It’s the 6th full length album of their career & released the Summer of 2023.  BMT songs & albums have charted #5 in Americana and #2 in Euro-Americana Radio, as well as having reached the U.S. Top 40 Country Charts.

You may have heard their music in some movies & across the airwaves. Often acoustic duo & sometimes band electrified, audiences feel an authentic connection & regard for roots. It feels like they’ve been “here” forever like all your favorites do.
