Description
Doors 7PM | Show 8PM $10 ADV | $15 DOS 21+ Olivia Ellen Lloyd     A West Virginia native, Olivia writes songs about love, loss, and liquor. Olivia Ellen Lloyd will try anything once. From flight attendant school in Dallas to producing theater in New York and teaching in Guatemala, Lloyd sought adventure but struggled to find a greater sense of purpose––until she found her way back to music. Channeling that restless spirit, she writes songs that pay homage to her Appalachian roots while charting fresh territory. Her debut album, Loose Cannon, has garnered over a million streams while Olivia has been busy touring, winning songwriting contests (Kerrville New Folk 2023; Songwriter Serenade 2024 Finalist), and generally eating life down to the rind. Saving Country Music called her recent sophomore album, Do It Myself, “one of those albums that you measure all of the other albums against as the year unfolds," while Holler Country called Lloyd “one of those artists that other artists absolutely love" in their list of 25 artists to watch for 2025. Heavily influenced by country, folk, and indie rock, Lloyd’s sound combines the traditional, rooted sounds of her West Virginia upbringing with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants exhilaration of her current life. She is inspired by the electric heartbeat of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown and the rich moments of life on the road in between. Abbie Mcallister Abbie McAllister is a new name; a rising singer-songwriter born and raised in Salem West Virginia. She started her journey of original music playing on the porches of local small businesses and beneath pop-up tents on farm properties within the local region.    Abbie has gained most of her gigging experience 2024 to present, playing venues like the renowned Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV, with fellow West Virginia musician and friend, Corduroy Brown, 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown, WV, and participating in lineups with other regionally ranked musicians Grace Campbell and Ella Folk in Ohio venues Waterfront Hall and The Coda live music venue.   In 2025, Abbie McAllister made her Nashville debut playing WesternAF’s “WesternAF Review” show at Nelson’s Greenbrier Distillery as a part of Americana Fest. Since then, Abbie has released a live performance single of her original song, “Jester,” with WesternAF, and is set to release three more live singles with the film and production company to complete her “LiveAF” EP on February 19th, 2026. Slag Mountain Slag Mountain is a group of veteran bluegrass and old-time musicians in Pittsburgh focused on hammering traditional music into a unique steel-town sound. You can find them blasting and firing red hot licks across the rust belt.
