Bonner Black, the classically trained ballerina turned Nashville Indie Pop singer/songwriter from Hot Rock, TN, started dancing at a young age before switching gears and making regular trips to Nashville to write and perform at 14. At 17, Black moved there officially; she embarked on her first regional tour shortly thereafter and participated in four NSAI lobbying trips. She received the Artist Entrepreneur Award by The Oxford Center of Entrepreneurs at The Times Center in New York City in 2016. Fast forward to today and, as an independent artist, Black has amassed over 403.1k streams across all platforms while cultivating an enthusiastic and engaged fan base and online community. Her Debut EP, Out Of Dreams, was released May 6th and contains Black's four recent singles as well as "Take It All" and "The Old Way." Out Of Dreams tells stories of lost love with sharp lyrics and melodies designed to burrow deep into your soul. It's impossible to remain unmoved as you work your way through this project capped at the end by "The Old Way," a poignant cliffhanger for what to expect on Black's next project, the first single of which will be released in Spring 2023.

As rock n’ roll has begun its return to prominence in the 2019 musical landscape, leading the charge from the buzzworthy, burgeoning Nashville rock scene are The Ivins.   Branding themselves “Loud Alternative,” led by brothers Jim and Jack Ivins, the band has scored glowing comparisons to artists like U2, Smashing Pumpkins & Silversun Pickups, while standing out as a unique vessel in rock; blending elements of the familiar to pull in listeners, while continuing to give them an experience unlike any one band.
