Luke Whitaker
"Luke Whittaker was born out of time and has tapped into the spirit of Bocephus, Waylon Jennings and a gang of renegades from a time gone by. Luke’s lyrics deal with demons, desperation and hope. Settled in the fertile soil of Virginia, he has drawn from the well of observation of those who have struggled in life including his own obstacles. Luke has found his gift. He can lead you through an old Smokey bar all the way through to the throne of God in roughly three minutes. I suggest you go along for the ride."
--Grammy winning producer

Tim Chandler
Tim is a songwriter dedicated to telling the truth in a way that doesn’t just focus on telling his own story, but his audience’s. Combining his influences of bluegrass, country, and folk, his music is drawn from life he knows in labor, family, and frustrations with songs that don't say anything.
Growing up a preacher’s son in Western Kentucky, Tim’s first exposure to music came through the traditional hymns that made up every service. Now, his influences range all over the board, drawn from the places and people he has worked with, roamed with, and written with, complete with a quirky style and ever-piercing sense of storytelling.
Having been featured on stations across the Southeast, recorded with musicians who have backed up the likes of Charlie Daniels and Shania Twain, and performed on live broadcasts that have featured the likes of Ricky Skaggs, and the Avett Brothers - the stories Tim tells of his fellow man are only getting started.
His music is available to purchase or stream on all platforms.
Owen Walsh
Owen Walsh has been telling stories and performing music his entire life. Born and raised on the banks of the Lackawaxen River in Honesdale, Pennsylvania—a small, historic coal-mining town that spawned the American railroad—Owen grew up surrounded by relics of 19th Century American life and imagery ripe for musical exploitation. Now a resident of Asheville, NC, Owen has recently released his debut full-length album, “On My Way,” which quickly jumped up to #9 on the Folk Radio Charts in August.
Dustin Martin
Steeped in Pre-2K Country, Roots Music and Southern Rock, blended with modern ideas and sounds, Dustin has been taking his music on the road 3-5 days a week for the past 5 years, playing every dive bar, pool hall and roadside pub from Carbondale, Illinois, south to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from Texas, Oklahoma and the Missouri Bootheel west to the Carolinas, and way down to Southern Florida, always somehow ending up back in Tennessee.
Currently living in Nashville, TN, Dustin is playing shows downtown on Broadway, as well as road shows in the Southeast on an independent circuit he’s built on his own. Formerly he was traveling to Palm Beach, Florida (2015-2018) to play with Southern Rock/Country 5 piece band Burnt Biscuit, along with playing all over the Southeast with his own trio, The Ramblers(2013-2015) and various other bands.
Dustin was born in Blytheville, Arkansas and raised across the state line in Rives, Missouri. After 5 years in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and short stints in Athens, Alabama, as well as living in a camping trailer on the Current River in the Missouri Ozarks, he made his home in Nashville, Tennessee in 2014.
