Growing up and making a life in Nelson County, Virginia, Kai has carved out a career writing about the people and landscapes around him. His first show was in middle school and there were polyester shirts, strobe lights, and dancing. He's been playing music since. When not fronting the rock act Lord Nelson, Kai has supported artists such as BJ Barham (American Aquarium), Joe Pug, Chuck Regan, Andrew Combs, Erin Rea and many others. Kai’s debut solo album, The Wreckage, is due out on June 27th, 2025.

Ryan Lockhart is a South Carolina–born songwriter whose work bridges the intensity of the Southern hardcore scene and the restraint of traditional folk songwriting.

After emerging with Funeral Chic, he shifted his focus to stripped-down, narrative-driven folk music. His songs explore outsiders, ghosts, and heathen mythology—works of fiction, for legal purposes—told with restraint, dark humor, and a distinctly Southern perspective. He has released two EPs, Straitjacket Blues and The Finest Ugly Man In The South, along with the full-length album Son Of A Coal Miner’s Daughter. His writing is influenced by Bruce Springsteen and John Prine, emphasizing clarity, storytelling, and emotional weight.

Along the way, Ryan has opened for Tim Barry, Cory Branan, Sunny War, Yes Ma’am, Lightnin' Luke, and Pete Bernhard.
