Sweet Megg
Sweet Megg is a genre-blending vocalist and songwriter, weaving jazz, country, and blues into a sound that’s both timeless and fresh. Originally from NYC and now based in Nashville, she’s traveled the world, honing her craft everywhere from Parisian jazz clubs to Southern honky-tonks.
Her upcoming album, Never Been Home (out May 16), showcases her signature mix of vintage influences and modern edge. Produced by Mose Wilson & Dennis Crouch and recorded at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, the album captures Megg’s restless spirit and musical evolution. After years touring with Postmodern Jukebox and leading a Cirque du Soleil country project, she’s back, ready to share her most personal work yet
Dallas Ugly
Nashville’s Dallas Ugly (Libby Weitnauer, Owen Burton, and Eli Broxham) are a band of truly trusted friends who - after a decade of playing together - return with their best work yet. Sitting somewhere between indie rock and Americana, and beautifully produced in collaboration with Grammy winning engineer Justin Francis, their sophomore album See Me Now is contemporary, crisp, and alive, a fiddle-filled entry in the current band-with-guitar renaissance that puts them in conversation with acts like MJ Lenderman, Big Thief, and Allegra Krieger while still channelling the sparkly sing-along heights of late 90s radio. The growth of heartache, finding footing in an unstable world, and modern anxiety resonate out in soaring harmony
