Jake Potter gleaned ingredients from his stretches in journalism, romance, Southern living and Saturday night rambling, crafting them into songs about hard-luck nights on the town, ghost stories from murky backwaters, and the hardscrabble of life. Whether alone with an acoustic guitar and harmonica or backed by friends with assorted talents and electric instruments, his brand of three-chord storytelling pours heartbreak, hard work and humor together into a rocks glass. His debut EP, "Apparitions," was independently released in October 2022.

J Candeed is the musical embodiment of the optimistic spirit. With an upbeat and evolving sound, he blends elements of the hill-country blues, traditional bluegrass and psychedelic groove using a mandola, kick and snare drum.

Ol' Joey Scrums is a unique musical force that weaves together a tapestry of sounds, blending folk, rock, and bluegrass into a genre-defying experience. Fronted by the soulful and expressive Joe Ralli on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, the band's lineup includes the talented Ian Klug, who provides the deep foundation on bass and adds harmonious vocals that beautifully complement Joe's singing. Dakotah Kelly adds a distinctive touch with the banjo, infusing the band's music with a rootsy authenticity that harkens back to the heart of American folk traditions. Completing this captivating ensemble is the rhythmic prowess of Martin Noffsinger on drums, whose beats drive the band's sound forward with an infectious energy.
