Memphis-raised singer-songwriter, Kelly Hunt, paints stories as old and offbeat as her Depression-era tenor banjo and parlor guitar, reimagining traditions of folk & old-time music with innovative vigor. Interweaving poetic lyrics, lilting melodies, and intriguing arrangements, Hunt casts a spell which No Depression describes as “the musical equivalent of a book you can’t put down, one you’ll want to revisit again and again to catch every nuance and turn of phrase.” Hunt’s 2019 debut album, Even The Sparrow, was a finalist for the International Folk Music Awards “Album of the Year.” Her sophomore album, Ozark Symphony, was recorded with Grammy-winning musician & producer Dirk Powell and released on Compass Records in 2023. 

She will be appearing with fellow troubadour Sarah Morgan.

Marigold Motel checks you into a world of wistful melodies and restless energy. Drawing from surf rock, americana, and 1960's British pop their sound blends dreamy harmonies, vintage keys, and shimmering guitar lines into something both familiar and unexpected. Born from basement jam sessions and a love of retro rock, they've been called 'The Dirty Beach Boys'- a fitting name for a band that turns nostalgia into something raw, alive and electric.

Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, Get Well Now is an indie rock band blending heartfelt lyricism with a dynamic sound shaped by influences like Pinegrove, Her’s, Modest Mouse, and early 2000s pop-punk. The group—Logan Romberger, Will Dark, Nathan Tesman, Jake Belongia, and Jeremy Wisbey—craft songs that balance emotional vulnerability with punchy, melodic energy, channeling the nostalgia of mid-2000s angst through a modern, genre-blurring lens. With raw vocals, jangly guitars, and an undercurrent of introspection, Get Well Now invites listeners into a space where catharsis and catchy hooks collide
