Amelia White:
If there were an East Nashville Music Hall of Fame, Amelia White would already be in it.  The now-famous scene was in its formative days when White arrived from Boston in the early 2000s and became a fixture at the Family Wash.   She’s been a leading light in America’s most musical zip code ever since, even as she’s developed a reputation in the rest of the U.S. and Europe as a first-rate songwriter. She helped define and refine the core folk-rock sound of Americana, yet her band’s energetic pulse never outshines her carefully wrought lyrics. She’s a poet who’s been compared to more famous songwriters for years; now, it would be more appropriate to use her as a benchmark. Craig Havighurst - Music City Roots 2019

“Every choice White makes is in service of the song.. it further cements her legacy as an East Nashville treasure worth following down any rabbit hole she chooses.” No Depression 2019

Ben de la Cour:
What happens when the unstoppable force of our dreams meets the immovable object of reality? It’s unclear - but Ben de la Cour is hell-bent on finding out.

Raised in Brooklyn, Ben de la Cour was playing New York City dive bars with his brother a full decade before he could legally drink. A high-school dropout and former amateur boxer, he received his education by listening to his parent’s record collection – full of everything from Bob Dylan and The Everly Brothers to Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd. At the tender age of nineteen he spent a year in Havana training with members of the Cuban national boxing team before moving to London with his brother to revive their doom metal band, Dead Man’s Root. They lived in a van and toured around Europe until 2008 when de la Cour returned to the states with a head full of softer, bruised, but no less intense acoustic songs later described by No Depression as “brimming with urgent authenticity”.
