Alexa Rose and Blue Cactus

Alexa Rose is a singer-songwriter praised by NPR as “the soul child of Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton.” Her album Atmosphere was produced by Ryan Gustafson (The Dead Tongues) and mixed by Grammy-winner Matt Ross Spang.

Blue Cactus, led by Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez, hails from North Carolina's honky-tonk scene, fusing folk, alt-country, and psychedelic rock. Known for supporting acts like The War And Treaty and Town Mountain, they craft introspective and lush music. Their third album, "Believer", explores themes of illness, dreams, and hope with guest singers like Erin Rae. Praised by No Depression and compared to Gillian Welch, their rich sound remains deeply personal and adventurous.
