Regional and local acts including:

Malcolm Rollick

Malcolm Rollick was featured as an artist to watch out for in GO! Magazine.

Emma Wynters

Emma was born and raised in the Mississippi Delta. Her voice reflects these roots. Like the Delta weather itself, Emma’s sound varies from sweet and cool like fresh, spring rain or hot and steamy as a sudden summer storm. Her original songs tell universal stories. From soul to jazz, from Celtic to folk, from rock to blues – her style is as broad as all of Mississippi’s musical traditions.

Midtown Dickens

A sweet and savvy duo with enough presence and energy to make you doubt that its a two piece. Midtown Dickens harbors an honesty too often absent from modern music, and the panache to pull off a broad spectrum of original songs from solid instrumentals, to escapist ballads, to a catchy tune about Tetris.

Will Myrick

Mississippi-native Will Myrick will be playing Sunday.

Jeff Lewis

Former member of many Jackson, Mississippi bands such as Oral Sox,The Windbreakers,Radio London, The Big Picture, Bovine Grace, The Shines,Sophia Myth...
