LineUp

Blue Cactus

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.

Fust

Fust is a Durham, North Carolina-based alt-country and indie-folk band led by Aaron Dowdy. Known for their lyrical storytelling and blend of Southern rock, they released their third album, "Big Ugly," in March 2025. The band explores Southern experiences and currently tours, delivering a sincere and fried guitar rock sound.
