Desert HeartStrings
Desert Heartstrings, formerly known as The Fab Folk, is the dynamic husband-and-wife folk rock/Americana duo of Jake and Melissa Haws from Springville, Utah.
Their music captivates with tight vocal harmonies and a rich tapestry of folk instruments, including acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, kick drum, and tambourine. Adding a modern twist, they integrate live loop pedal recordings into their performances, creating a layered, immersive sound experience.
The duo brings a soulful, rootsy touch to classics by The Beatles, Johnny Cash, and Neil Young, while seamlessly blending in hits from contemporary artists like Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Lord Huron, and The Lumineers.

TAE & The Neighborly
Hailing from Green Bay, Wisconsin, TAE & The Neighborly seamlessly blends the best of soul, R&B, pop, and rock through vibrant instrumentation and TAE's unforgettable vocals.
The band released their debut full-length record, Self Help, in 2024, showcasing lyrics and soul-inspired arrangements that shed the malaise of a world that grows ever more grim for the places of joy that are never more than a mindset away. New listeners invariably latch on to the depth of TAE's singular voice, demonstrating a remarkable breadth of emotional highs and lows from the smoky speakeasy allure of "Carry On" to the gut-punching climactic peak of "Let It Rain".
Having toured continuously since the release of Self Help, the band has graced stages across the country from Sisters Folk Festival in Oregon, to the Rhythm & Roots Festival in Rhode Island, to a feature on NPR's Mountain Stage in West Virginia. They are gearing up for the release of their second record, Junk, in 2026.

Brass Queens
Brass Queens is a female-led, New York-based brass band that has been dominating the brass band scene since 2019.
Finding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in New York City, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders. After debuting in March 2019, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed "the hardest working band in town" by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. Now, a core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians.
