Dalby
Dalby is a singer, songwriter, and musician from Atlanta, Georgia. She started writing her own music at the age of 11 years old and started working with Atlanta music legends such as Tricky Stewart and Dallas Austin shortly thereafter. Largely influenced by artists such as Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks, Dalby makes pop/rock music that is relatable and nostalgic.
 Whitney Bjerken
Whitney Bjerken is a 21 year old alternative pop singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. She has been writing and recording music since the age of twelve and has since developed a distinctive style blending acoustic and electronic elements. Her writing and storytelling connects with any audience whether it’s an acoustic show or a full band. Drawing inspiration from imagination, dreams, surroundings, and much of her own life, her discography is a kaleidoscope of emotions and experiences.
Ellakate
ellakate is an alternative pop singer-songwriter born, raised, and based in Atlanta, Georgia. Growing up with musical parents and a knack for creating and performing, ellakate found a passion for music that went beyond forcing her brothers to listen to her melodies as a child. “When my dad first explained what the song ‘Brandy’ by Looking Glass was about, I discovered the magic of storytelling in songwriting. I have been singing and making up songs for as long as I can remember,” said ellakate about her innate talents. She has written hundreds of songs since her childhood exploring topics that coincide with the journey of growing up and finding love, filling piles of notebooks in her room with song lyrics. ellakate’s songs recount stories and experiences that may have not happened to her but are inspired by events that have impacted her. 
Her voice has been compared to a “young Sara Bareilles,” showing her vocal prowess - honest and sensual, with a hint of innocence. Her sultry vocals mixed with her haunting, bold, and romantic sound are reminiscent of artists like Billie Eilish, Fiona Apple, and Lana Del Rey. ellakate is a breath of fresh air in the musical climate, writing exactly what we’re all thinking and spinning it in a mature, yet cheeky way.

TATTOO...

“One listen to the lilting vocals, truthful narrative, and welcoming musicality and you will understand,”&nbsp; writes The Aquarian. “Beautiful would almost be an understatement.” That sense of invitation sits at the&nbsp; heart of The Foreign Landers’ music. Their songs pay close attention to ordinary moments, shaped by&nbsp;&nbsp;
the belief that grace often shows up in these places. Rooted in bluegrass and Celtic tradition, the band&nbsp; blends acoustic drive with reflective songwriting and close harmony singing shaped by lives lived across&nbsp; borders.&nbsp;
Rooted in bluegrass and Celtic tradition, the band creates their own sound with reflective songwriting and&nbsp; enchanting singing shaped by lives lived across borders. Led by vocalist and banjoist Tabitha Agnew&nbsp; Benedict of Northern Ireland and mandolinist David Benedict of South Carolina, The Foreign Landers&nbsp; have built a reputation for music that feels deeply personal. Their work grows out of shared experience,&nbsp; shaped by distance, home, and the steady work of learning how to live faithfully in changing seasons.&nbsp; With the release of their sophomore album Made to Wonder on January 23, 2026, the band offers their&nbsp; most compelling and cohesive statement to date.&nbsp;
Following their debut album Travelers Rest, which chronicled the challenges of immigration and building&nbsp; a shared life in the United States, Made to Wonder turns toward the next chapter. Written during the&nbsp; transition into parenthood, the album reflects on time, impermanence, and the fragile beauty of everyday&nbsp; life. These songs dwell in moments that might otherwise slip by unnoticed: a quiet morning, laughter&nbsp; around a campfire, the weight of a sleeping child. They also name the ache that comes from knowing how&nbsp; quickly such moments pass.&nbsp;
But running beneath the album is a steady current of faith. Rather than offering declarations or easy&nbsp; answers, the songs hold prayers, questions, and moments of trust shaped by belief in grace freely given&nbsp; and hope that endures beyond circumstances. Wonder, as the title suggests, is not treated as something to&nbsp; be chased, but as something received. The songs invite listeners to slow down, pay attention, and rest in&nbsp; gratitude.&nbsp;
Now joined by longtime bandmates Julian Pinelli on fiddle and Nate Sabat on bass, The Foreign&nbsp; Landers step fully into their identity as a quartet on Made to Wonder. The expanded lineup deepens the&nbsp; band’s transatlantic sound, weaving bluegrass foundations with Celtic color and modern acoustic textures.&nbsp; Guest contributions from Kris Drever of Lau, Brian Finnegan of Flook, Tristan Clarridge of Crooked&nbsp; Still, and Nick Cooke of the Kate Rusby Band add subtle layers while keeping the focus firmly on the&nbsp; songs themselves.&nbsp;
Individually, the members of The Foreign Landers bring decades of experience in the international&nbsp; acoustic music world. Both Tabitha and David are recipients of IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of&nbsp; the Year awards, and each has performed and recorded with award winning artists on both sides of the&nbsp; Atlantic. Together, their playing favors clarity, sensitivity, and deep listening over excess. Sierra Hull&nbsp; says, “Hearing The Foreign Landers for the first time immediately landed a huge smile on my face. The&nbsp; playing, singing, and arrangements are all so wonderful.”&nbsp;
With thoughtful songwriting, interwoven harmonies, and a sound shaped by faith, family, and tradition,&nbsp; The Foreign Landers continue to carve out a distinct place within contemporary acoustic music. As&nbsp; Grammy winner Sarah Jarosz notes, “They tastefully honor the past while simultaneously making the&nbsp; music all their own.”

“...a total home-run.” (Eric Thom - Americana Highways)
"The Krickets send chills down your spine and lift you sky high..."&nbsp; (No Depression) 
“Really gorgeous. I highly recommend.” Jonathan Fishman (Phish) The Errant Path, SiriusXM Episode 111
The Krickets are an Americana trio from the gulf coast whose music is what Paste Magazine calls "a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind sound." Two-time IMA Song of the Year winner in both Folk and Alt Country categories, the band's music is genre-bending Americana steeped in their signature folk harmony.&nbsp; Fresh out of the studio with Single Lock's Record's Austin Motlow, they just released their third full length album If You Only Knew October 30, 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This latest album follows a 2023 single Pay No Mind with Rick Hirsch and a 2020 self-produced release, These Games&nbsp; that premiered in American Songwriter Magazine's Best New Music feature.&nbsp; Prior to that the band recorded two full length studio albums, Redbird (2018) in Nashville with Sam Ashworth and Spanish Moss Sirens (2016) with Single Lock Records’ Ben Tanner in Muscle Shoals, AL.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
While all have solo projects the three singer songwriters who make up the Krickets include Emily Stuckey Sellers, Lauren Spring and Rachel Grubb.&nbsp;
Originally coming together to play a breast cancer benefit, the band is passionate about supporting their namesake, <a href="https://www.thecricketfund.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">TheCricketFund.org</a> which provides cancer aid to the uninsured.&nbsp;
BO SPRING BAND

Joined by his wife Lauren Spring (guitar, fiddle, vocals), Ken Peak (bass) and Tim Dutrow (drums) the band gigs along the Gulf Coast and their audiences can expect harmony packed songs that span the genres from bluegrass to rock. &nbsp;
