Hang Jones: The best Americana songs all have one thing in common: someone has to get shot. Singer/songwriter Stephen Grillos took this to heart when writing the songs for Hang Jones' debut album The Ballad of Carlsbad County. What began as a collection of bluegrass inspired country-rock songs evolved into a Western Outlaw-themed story album complete with hangings, gunfights, love, sex, and revenge.

The Sweet 'n' Lo's: Anne Arnhym and Loraine Belmonte - known as the Sweet 'n' Lo's by night – team up with guitarist Pierre Laik (from the Frisky Frolics and The Top Hands) and Danny Santos (Danny Santos and the Savoys & Cari Lee and The Saddle-ites) to serve up pipin' hot guitar licks and buttery two-part harmonies for your listening pleasure. Along with a growing list of originals, they bring back classic tunes from artists such as Patsy Cline, HankWilliams, The Carter Family, Carl Smith, Ray Price and Kitty Wells.

The GoldDiggers: a band that straddles the intersection of rock, country and rockabilly....playing original songs by the band alongside lesser known numbers by some of our favorite songwriters, including Joe Ely, Dave Alvin, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Rodney Crowell. Featuring honky-tonk piano, twangin' guitars, and a tight rhythm section.
