Tim McNary (Alt-Folk)

|

Tim was raised in a fundamentalist Christian home in the American South where music was deeply respected as a way to connect to a higher power. He found his love for songwriting while backpacking through the mountains, beaches, and deserts of South America for 2 years. He then toured throughout the deep south in his mini-van, and eventually found a home in Nashville,. His forthcoming LP, loose leaf, depicts the human longing for connection in all its forms. It is produced by Jon Estes and released by Audionetwork .

Tim McNary built a reputation for emotive vocals and a multi-dimensional folk sound with his first two records, While We Are Waking and Above the Trees. With his third album, loose leaf, produced by Jon Estes (John Paul White, Abigail Washburn, Peter Bradley Adams, Langhorne Slim), Tim touches on themes of human connection and isolation that run through much of his work. “When people listen to this next album,” says Tim, “one of the main things I hope they take away is maybe they feel less alone, they feel more connected to the human experience.” The album’s orchestral tendencies reflect the hundreds of hours Tim spent scoring the album, which will be released on Friday, October 22nd 2021. The clarity of voice and evocative nature of loose leaf has raised comparisons to Gregory Alan Isakov, Glen Hansard, and Lord Huron.

Tyler Edwards (Americana Singer-Songwriter)

Beginning his career in 2008, Tyler wrote and performed with the South Carolina rock band, I Anthem. After releasing two EPs and an LP, the band had multiple songs break the Top 10 on Billboard's Rock Charts and music featured on MTV and NASCAR. In 2015, Edwards launched his solo career with a 6-song EP, “Too Young for Love” and relocated to Seattle, Washington. While there, Tyler cultivated a strong grass-roots by consistently touring and selling out some of Seattle's most notable venues (The Tractor Tavern, Barboza, The Royal Room) and sharing the stage with national touring artist such as Ian Noe, W​ill Hoge, Nicki Bluhm, and The Steel Wheels.​

In 2017, Edwards released his crowd-funded debut full length album, “A Few Good Hearts." A career of independence and determination has crafted Tyler into a hardworking musician and genuine songwriter. On May 1st, 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, he released a self produced and recorded EP, "Sincerely, Montgomery." This release and following singles have helped solidify Edwards as an independent artist and songwriter. Tyler Edwards recently relocated outside of Nashville, Tennessee and released his sophomore album "A Falling Sky." "Edwards is an effective communicator. He never needs to yell to get our attention. More often than that, he nearly whispers/sings his lyrics. He writes and sings because he has something to say, rather than any overwhelming need to be seen and/or heard” - Curious for Music.
