July 17th ~ Lillie Syracuse

In a velvet stream of joy, grief, and love Lillie Syracuse’s voice and music pours deep from the heart of the in between.

For a decade, Lillie honed her craft in Nashville, TN, where she wrote and released her debut album Coming Up Diamonds in 2020, with producer and Grammy-nominated drummer Mike Marsh (The Avett Brothers, Dashboard Confessional).

Lillie was raised in Pumpkintown, SC, the cradle of Table Rock Mountain. Just as her heart was woven from tree, waterfall, birdsong, and red mountain clay, so was her song writing.

Lillie’s hope in song-craft is to foster shifts towards a deeper connection with nature, community, authenticity, creativity, and magic in the lives of those who hear her music.The Appalachian Mountains have now called Lillie home. She lives in Brevard, NC and will be releasing her first self produced album in 2024. https://lilliesyracuse.com/

August 7th ~ The Get Right Band

The Get Right Band is a psychedelic indie rock power trio committed to relentlessly following their muses to honest self-expression, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory, to capturing some version of truth. American Songwriter writes that the Asheville, NC based group, “filters 60’s/70’s psychedelia and 90’s alternative rock through a modern lens–as if Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana co-wrote an album produced by Danger Mouse and Dan Auerbach.”

The Get Right Band formed in 2011, built around the musical brotherhood that guitarist/singer/songwriter Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school. Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, has guitar chops that can soothe or rage, with a charismatic swagger as frontman and singer. Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (The Mountain Xpress). Completing the team is drummer extraordinaire Jaze Uries, who is also a singer, songwriter, producer, photographer, and DJ, and keys legend Chuck Lichtenberger, whose incredible playing has been a staple of the Asheville music scene for years. GRB has defined their sound through constant evolution, building to the hook-driven, synth-heavy pop/rock/psych band they are today. The Huffington Post writes, “their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.” https://thegetrightband.com/
