Thunder and Rain is a Nashville-based Newgrass band delivering melodic hooks, rich harmonies, and grassy drive with pop-rock inspired songcraft. The band was founded by Erinn Peet Lukes, a singer-songwriter whose path led her through several major music hubs before settling in Colorado in 2013. There, she formed Thunder and Rain within Denver’s vibrant bluegrass scene. Since then, the band has released four studio albums, toured across the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and the UK, and found viral success on YouTube with their bluegrass takes on popular songs, which have earned hundreds of thousands of views. Following a pandemic-era hiatus, Lukes relocated to Nashville, where she met Amelia Ransom (fiddle) and Laura Ray (banjo). The trio instantly clicked, bringing a renewed focus on tight harmony and a more traditional acoustic sound. They play with a rotating cast of bass players including Vickie Vaugh, three time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Award Recipient. They released their fourth album, Storybook Sessions, in October 2024.

Songs from the heart. There's no better way to describe the music from Hunter Peebles. The human experience is filled with heartache, loss, love and joy. Hunter's songs capture these sentiments with seemingly effortless simplicity and depth. Hailing from southern Illinois, just east of St. Louis, MO, Hunter reflects his influences in country, folk and Americana soundscapes.

Boo's known for his off-hand southern wit, self-effacing humor, and charming storytelling. Boo Ray's live performances are shows. As he says, Boo Ray's "in Show Business."

Mischievously blending rock with blues and other genres, Nashville based alt-rock band, Stray Nova, have been re-defining the new era of alternative. Sparking creativity between the combination of their own diverse musical backgrounds, Stray Nova is the brainchild of longtime friends Dalton Akins and Matt White. After playing for years together as a cover band, Dalton and Matt decided to start fresh with their own original music, which led to the addition of Ryan Myles and Jesse Bobick. With Ryan’s heavy hip-hop and gospel-infused drum rhythms, Matt’s classic yet quirky guitar riffs and soul-scorching solos, Jesse’s dangerously ominous fills and swells with a classically trained kick, and Dalton’s dynamically driving bass and distinctly haunting vocals, an inescapable atmosphere unfolds.

Soulchess is a band based in Nashville, Tennessee that defies what you may typically think of as ‘Nashville music’. Consisting of members from wildly varying musical backgrounds, the band has a sound that is the epitome of a musical fusion. The band has been going from strength the strength over the last or 2 emerging out of the pandemic guns blazing ready to take on the world. The Soulchess sound is one defined by the band's diverse influences and diverse cultural backgrounds. This band is a breath of fresh air in their home town of Nashville simply by being ‘a band’ opposed to a solo artist. Soulchess are truly ‘a band’. This enables them to act in unison and pull off tricks and synchronized parts that only bands can do after having spent several years playing together. This is in contrast to the hired gun nature of the Nashville music scene. Soulchess’ live shows are where their tight sound comes alive. Soulchess is a band that has to be seen live to appreciate their energy and their sonic ‘tricks’ that wow crowds no matter what venue they are performing at. The band can pull off some seriously good cover versions too that have their own slant on some classics. They are fans of the mashup in all regards, for instance, the band somehow managed to fuse Muse’s ‘Uprising’ into MJ’s ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’. You have to see it to believe it. On top of their musical prowess, this is an entertaining band to watch. From Derrian’s dance moves to the sheer energy and passion of conveyed through the drums, bass, and guitar, Soulchess must be seen and heard.
