Festival favorites, His & Hers, will kick things off for us. This husband and wife fronted Americana folk band has released 3 albums, including “Come On In”, out in September 2022. They have played together as His & Hers since 2013. The duo has shared the stage with many regional and national touring Americana acts and receives regular radio play locally.
Sweet Tea Trio is bringing a new “old school country with a country rock flair” to Nashville. Kate Falcon, Victoria Camp, and Charity Bowden have opened up for legendary acts of all genres including Bon Jovi, Kid Rock, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Alabama.
Neon Union is a duo preparing to take country music by storm. Newcomers Leo Brooks and Andrew Millsaps, are bringing a new sound to country music, with 808 kick drums married to a traditional country lyric and anthemic pop melodies.
