Among the most prolific artists on the Americana scene today, Seth Walker is a multi-dimensional talent who combines a gift for melody and lyric alongside a rich, Gospel-drenched, Southern-inflected voice with a true blue knack for getting around on the guitar. With his 12th studio album Why The Worry, Walker further builds upon this reputation.   Set straight by the title’s mantra, Why The Worry finds the veteran singer-songwriter letting go of the worry about perception, the worry of over-preparation, and the worry that seeps in constantly from the news and noise of everyday life. Taking a page from Willie Nelson, Walker embraced the country music legend's sage wisdom, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything, so I decided not to do it.” Indeed, the album was just about finished when Hurricane Helene hit Walker where he lives in the mountains around Asheville, and as a result, the record almost didn’t see light.  As catastrophe took shape, the album’s importance wavered in his mind until the central theme came back into view. The worry wouldn’t undo any damage, and there was still service in song.    Growing up on a commune in rural North Carolina, the son of classically trained musicians, Walker played cello long before discovering the guitar in his 20s. When his introduction to the blues came via his Uncle Landon Walker, who was both a musician and disc jockey, his fate was forever sealed. Instantaneously, Seth was looking to artists like T-Bone Walker, Snooks Eaglin, and B.B. King as a wellspring of endless inspiration. The rest is history. He's released twelve albums, broken into the Top 20 of the Americana Radio Charts, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart and received praise from NPR, American Songwriter, No Depression and Relix, among others.    Alongside his extensive songwriting and recording pursuits, Walker is consistently touring and performing at venues and festivals around the world. Along with headline shows, he's been invited to open for The Mavericks, Marc Broussard, The Wood Brothers, Raul Malo, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster, among others.   Prior to relocating to Asheville in 2020, Walker did stints residing in Austin, New Orleans and Nashville. He’s used those experiences wisely, soaking up the sounds and absorbing the musical lineage of these varied places. With a bluesman’s respect for roots and tradition, coupled with an appreciation for—and successful melding of—contemporary songwriting, Walker sublimely incorporates a range of styles with warmth and grace. Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana, then Seth Walker—with his blend of blues, gospel, pop, R&B, rock, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.” 

Soulful Americana artist Brittany Collins writes songs that are equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful. Her hauntingly powerful voice evokes imagery of the rugged mountainous landscape where she was raised and still lives in the Pacific Northwest. Her performance will hit you like a lightning bolt and leave you begging for more. Collins released her debut album "Things I Tell My Therapist" on September 2nd 2022. Things I Tell My Therapist is a debut album ten years in the making. It examines the pain of familial ties (“The Apple”), the beauty of love that grows and evolves (“The Journey”), self-discovery (“Somebody”), reconciliation (Things I Tell My Therapist”), and the dichotomy of living an everyday life while also dreaming of becoming who you know you are meant to be (“Two Worlds”). The album has received features in Americana Highways, Adobe and Teardrops and Glide Magazine, as well as consistent radio play on ABC Country, Ditty TV, Country Du Monde and CMR Nashville. To date it has been added to countless playlists including Hot Country, and has been streamed over 23,000 times. Her growling voice, poignant lyrics, and soul-flavored alt-country sound make this release stand far above her peers, stuffed full of soul-stirring ballads, uptempo Americana ditties, and a slew of radio-ready hits. Quickly becoming a regular feature on Americana music stations nationwide and embarking on her first nationwide tour in fall of 2022, this girl isn't letting anything stand in her way.
