  • Mary Bragg

    Americana

    "Americana Queen" (Vice/Noisey) Mary Bragg has been heralded by Rolling Stone and NPR for her “gorgeously crafted and executed songs.” Nashville-based and originally from Swainsboro, Georgia, Bragg’s “exquisite vocal performances” (Folk Alley) pair well with her “refined, sumptuously melancholy take on Southern storytelling” (World Cafe). She’s been exploring love and its complications for much of her career now, wrestling with longing, desire, heartbreak, and insecurity across a string of widely lauded albums. NPR dubbed her breakout 2017 release, Lucky Strike, one of the year’s best, while her 2019 follow-up, Violets as Camouflage, earned similar raves, with the Nashville Scene calling it “magnificent” and Rolling Stone hailing its mix of classic country twang and gentle chamber-pop. 

    Her new EP, The Quiet One, follows her 2024 release Tie Me to You, and her 2022 self-titled album Mary Bragg, which marked the beginning of a particularly prolific chapter, writing and touring extensively while also producing albums for other artists (Grace Pettis, The Accidentals, Helena Hallberg, and Stephanie Sammons). 

  • Michael Flynn (Slow Runner)

    Americana

    Michael Flynn is an Americana-adjacent singer/songwriter based in western NC who generally performs under the name Slow Runner. His songs have been featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless,and on commercials for useful products like cars and shampoo. He’s also won a few awards for songwriting, most recently the 2021 Newsong Music Grand Prize. As Slow Runner or under his own name Michael has released 9 full length albums among other EPs and singles, and has toured internationally with acts like The Avett Brothers, Josh Ritter, and many others. His music explores disparate genres from dreamy synth-pop to confessional folk, always anchored by compelling lyrics and an authentic emotional core. Called ‘a pioneering solo artist’ by American Songwriter, with ‘songs as catchy as they are clever’ (Relix magazine), Slow Runner continues his evolution as a standout writer and performer still evolving nearly two decades into a fruitful career with the 2026 release ‘Dog Years.’

  • Kim Richey

    Country Folk

    Serving a stint as a cook at the Bluebird Café didn't do much harm to pull her into the singer/songwriter fold. In 1988, Richey planted her roots in Nashville to really test that fold and hone her own songwriting craft. She built a reputation as a singer who could interpret a lyric and harmonize with the best of them, all the while writing songs with an optimistic melancholy quality that is unusual and alluring.

    Before too long, the Zanesville, Ohio, native was signed to PolyGram Records, releasing her eponymous debut in 1995. Bitter Sweet and Glimmer followed in two-year increments. All three albums were tagged as contemporary country but actually fall in step pretty close to John Hiatt's brand of music making. Comparisons to Shawn Colvin have also run rampant over the years, due to Richey's cleverly twisting lyrical phrases and beats. By the time she made 1999's Glimmer with producer Hugh Padgham, her sound leaned even further toward the pop end of the spectrum. Cut to 2002 and the release of Rise. Teaming up with producer Bill Bottrell, Richey fleshed out her sound with worldly flavors of instrumentation, atypical for a so-called contemporary country artist. The result was mesmerizing and her most masterful work to date. Her greatest hits, entitled Collection, arrived in 2004, followed by Chinese Boxes in the summer of 2007.

    In recent years, Kim turned to her East Nashville-based bandleader and frequent co-writer Neilson Hubbard to conjure the earthy indie-pop feel of Wreck Your Wheels and to complete her masterpiece of smart, sensual understatement Thorn In My Heart. She continues to tour and perform on the Grand Ole Opry.

  • Lydia Slagle

    Americana

    Lydia Slagle is one half of The Secret Sisters, the Americana duo she formed with her sister Laura Rogers. Born and raised in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Lydia honed her harmonies singing a cappella in church alongside Laura. The Secret Sisters emerged in 2010 with a T Bone Burnett-produced self-titled debut that drew immediate comparisons to classic country's golden era and earned them appearances on Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show. After some setbacks, the sisters made one of Americana's most celebrated comeback with You Don't Own Me Anymore, produced by Brandi Carlile, which earned them their first Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album. Their follow-up, Saturn Return, drew a four-star review from Rolling Stone and a second Grammy nomination. Their fifth album, Mind, Man, Medicine, marked their first turn as co-producers, recorded at the storied FAME Studios in their hometown of Muscle Shoals alongside collaborators from Alabama Shakes and Ray LaMontagne.
