Micky & the Motorcars are far more than a Texas institution—they are a road-forged American band, shaped by decades of relentless national and international touring. We’ve seen them in Germany, New Stork City, Steamboat Springs, San Francisco and Key West, Florida. Blending country-rock drive with hard-earned storytelling, their songs feel built for long nights, open highways, and packed rooms far from home. Frequently described by critics as “road-tested to the bone,” the band has earned a global following through consistency, chemistry, and sweat equity. This is music made the old way—played everywhere, refined nightly, and delivered with conviction.

“What elevates Uncle Lucius above the pack—is how they’ve brought Southern charm back to the jam scene. This is contemporary Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with lyrics that resonate deep into your bones. It’s spiritual yet catchy as hell, and the guitar work will leave you breathless.”

Take “Holy Roller,” the epic jam that doesn’t just take you to church—it takes you to heaven. Mike Carpenter and Doug Strahan trade solos that would make Duane Allman proud, while Grossman transports the whole thing on organ. But here’s what makes it resonate: the song basks in glory while simultaneously understanding the dark side of religion. That’s the Uncle Lucius magic—they can make you dance and think at the same time.

Dubbed "the future of classic country" by Saving Country Music, Kimmi Bitter is painting a whole new tapestry that drapes golden-era Countrypolitan with coastal desert twang. Drawing comparisons from Patsy Cline to a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack, her sound echoes the spirit of early 60’s California—sun-soaked, sharp-dressed in mod tones, and just rebellious enough to drift left of the traditional country dial. A rising force in the underground Americana scene, she’s capturing attention with her debut album Old School (2024), which hit the Top 25 Americana Album Radio Chart and earned eight nominations, including wins for Song of the Year (2024 & 2025) and Best Country Album (2025) at the San Diego Music Awards. The album also topped at No.1 the Alt-Country Specialty Charts for four consecutive weeks, and her live performance was recently regarded as "one of the biggest takeaways" from Austin's SXSW.

Already touring nationally, this soul-pop and R&B band has appeared on stages ranging from the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage in Washington, D.C., to Rhythm & Roots and other regional festivals across the country. The Wisconsin-based group blends soul, R&B, pop, and a little bit of groove-heavy rock into something that feels both polished and loose at the same time—rhythm-forward music with real emotional lift behind it. “Led by TAE’s powerful, deeply expressive vocals“ (Iowa PBS) the band has built a reputation as a live act that can shift quickly from intimate and reflective to full-on joyful release.

They don’t approach soul music as retro revivalism. There are touches of modern indie-pop, groove-based R&B, and even a little communal, almost gospel-like uplift in parts of the set. The result feels young, alive, and genuinely fun ….

“…the very essence of Nether Hour: raw, untamed, and deeply rooted in Austin’s vibrant music culture. This forthcoming record feels like a midnight drive with every twist revealing something new — a searing solo, a thumping bassline, or an unstoppable beat. These guys are the real deal, blending Southern grit with the ability to shift from bluesy riffs to swampy grooves in a heartbeat. With chemistry forged on countless stages, their soundscapes are as unpredictable as a Texas storm, yet the Nether Hour’s spirit is unmistakable throughout.”
