System and Station: System and Station is from Portland, OR. The band first started in 1998 in Idaho as Dave Wall, RFK Heise and Mike Rundle and then moved to Wisconsin until 2001. After that System and Station came to Portland and became RFK Heise, Palmer Cloud, Josh Vasby and Bryan Fairfield and later Levi Cecil until 2005. At that point System and Station became RFK Heise, Palmer Cloud, Adam Draper, Mark Matterey and later Ed Cugguda until 2007. Now System and Station is once again RFK Heise, Palmer Cloud, Adam Schultz and Bryan Fairfield, get all of that? The band has been on over 18 national tours. Released 8 recordings (4 eps, 4 lps).
La Fin du Monde: La Fin du Monde was formed in the fall of 2003 in Chico, CA as creative outlet for a group of serious musicianas. Operating as a collective, the band, Mike Crew (bass), Dan Elsen (drums), Joshua Kinsey (bass), Jeremiah Root (guitar and vocals), and Adam Scarborough (guitar), began writing experimental progressive rock, orchestrated to the smallest detail, until the desired outcome was reached. The result was melodic, dynamic and experimental music that is linear in composition, in that the song is always progressing forward

The Waifs spent years touring around Australia living out of the back of a camper van with their lives packed up in guitar cases and honing their craft. The Waifs are now one of Australia’s most successful Independent bands. Their marked by all the qualities that have made them a hit with folk and roots audiences: honest songwriting, rollicking bluesiness, and the soaring vocals of sisters Donna and Vikki Simpson and guitarist Josh Cunningham. The Waifs started their journey as Australian grass-roots road warriors and are now international festival favorites. (photo)

Imagine the band that occupies the common ground between traditional bluegrass, outlaw country, and pure old time mountain music. A group that harnesses the frantic energy of the modern punk string band, yet still remains respectfully rooted in the tradition of Bill Monroe. Imagine a band with one foot proudly planted in the path of traditional bluegrass, and one foot stepping out into the unknown forefront of American string music. This is Town Mountain from Asheville, NC.
