The Tan and Sober Gentleman: Born and raised in North Carolina, the Tan and Sober Gentlemen began taking the
songs, stories, and tunes that make up their beloved state’s musical tradition before
they could talk. The music of the Carolinas, (and Appalachia in general) stems from the
marriage of the Irish fiddle and the African banjo, which first met in the American South
before the Revolution. The Tan and Sober Gentlemen aim to bring these traditions full
circle. They play Irish tunes, ballads, and pub songs right next to the Appalachian fiddle
tunes of their youth, melding the two into what they call “Irish-American hillbilly music.”
Meanwhile, they have earned a reputation as one of the South’s hardest-hitting live
acts, playing at blazing tempos, and putting every last bit of energy they possess into
the show. The result is a raucous celebration of the Carolinas’ Irish heritage, with
drinking, dancing, and merriment galore.
The Midatlantic:
The Midatlantic began to take shape on the Cape Fear coast of NC in 2013. After a hiatus from his solo singer/songwriter days, frontman Jason Andre began working with friends on collaboration projects and took up the mandolin. A new season of songwriting began and the collaborations formed into a group of friends playing on back porches and around bonfires. Pulling from influences spanning from The Avett Brothers, Punch Brothers, and The Lumineers. From tiny backyard concerts to small pubs around Wilmington, the first 5 song self-titled EP was released in February of 2014. The first and only full length album was produced at Hourglass Studios and Jason’s home studio, and released in November of 2015.
Tuatha Dea:
A progressive Americana band with a rock edge and fearless attitude for pushing the boundaries of modern roots music.
