ARTISTS INCLUDE:

ALEXA ROSE

Perhaps following in the steps of her great grandfather, Alexa Rose’s songs feel like oil paint landscapes of her own life in the mountains, often wringing out the beauty in mundanity and exploring timeless topics. Her earnest, well crafted stylings are a multi-layered merger of old country music and traditional folk songs, colored by rock and roll and mountain soul.

Resonant Rogues

Rooted in the mountains of Western North Carolina, The Resonant Rogues are fronted by songwriting duo Sparrow and Keith Josiah Smith, who share a passion for movement and sound.

Natalie Jane Hill

Natalie is a compelling performer living in Marshall, NC. She expertly combines the Country, Americana, and Alt Country genres with a deeply lulling voice. Hill's music is a profound voyage through the landscapes of both love, grief, nature and human spirit. Her unique voice echoes the melancholy melodies of the greats.

Mat Davidson, better known by his stage name Twain

Mat is an American alternative country musician from Brooklyn, New York. Davidson has released five full-length albums as Twain. Davidson is a former member of the bands The Low Anthem and Spirit Family Reunion.

Benjamin Barker

Benjamin was one of the highlights of this year’s Fine Tuned Sessions and we just couldn’t help but wonder what his hammered dulcimer and harp may sound like among the lightning bugs. Benjamin was a featured player in the after show jam at Fine Tuned and we are so happy to have him back at the farm for this event.

Hanna Ross

Hanna is a singer and guitarist whose music, humor, and extra special gifts combine for a thoroughly entertaining and uplifting performance. She plays a wide range of popular songs across many genres. Hanna was born with a love of music and loves to tell jokes, visit adventure parks, and attend Camp Lakey Gap for autistic individuals every summer. Most of all, she loves engaging with people and inquiring about their lives. She also shares her talents as a volunteer for Meals-On-Wheels, delivering meals and a song or two for residents. She currently studies with Professor Brittnee Seimen at Brevard College and resides with her parents and younger sister in Cedar Mountain, NC.

Trust Cafe is catering this event, serving delicious fresh meals and homemade desserts, drinks, and snacks. We are in a dry county and do not sell alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own.
