Big Sam’s Funky Nation
In New Orleans, a city indisputably overflowing with funk, the high honor for Best Funk Group of 2008 was awarded to Big Sam's Funky Nation at the 2009 Big Easy Music Awards. For the past few years, Big Sam's Funky Nation has been a driving force of urban funk.
Greensky Bluegrass
GREENSKY BLUEGRASS is one of the most exciting bands in today’s music scene. Like a breath of fresh air, this five piece band plays traditional bluegrass instruments and uses them to create original songs and soundscapes that are unique and new, yet somehow feel comfortable and familiar.
Steppin’ In It
Rare indeed when a collection of songs creates an entire world. Yet that’s exactly what transpires with Steppin’ In It’s "Simple Tunes for Troubled Times." Sonically painting with a pleasant array of old time country swing and blues, this Lansing, Michigan, quartet brilliantly updates a re-surging American musical genre.
Rootstand
Rebel Rootsgrass and Reggae, Swashbucklin’ Folk and Blues. A highland, island sound, abound with the wild blood of american roots and grass, alive with the joy of the jam and the pain of the ballad. Acoustic-electric battlefield blues and rootsrock, country-boy hip-hop and whiskey reggae.
Jen Sygit
Jen now has three albums under her belt with her latest So Long Pollyanna to be released on Earthwork Music in May ‘09. Her last release Leaving Marshall St. was nominated for a Detroit Music Award for BEST ACOUSTIC/FOLK ALBUM in 2007 and made it to 9 on the independent roots music charts that year. The album also landed on a number of ‘Best of’ lists as well. Now, besides regionally touring and playing shows, Jen can also be found hosting the popular weekly open mic at Dagwood Tavern in Lansing. She has been host of the thriving scene for almost five years.
Joshua Davis & Fool Rooster
Raised between the steely clamor of Detroit and the stillness of Michigan's pristine Upper Peninsula, Joshua Davis is a rare combination of both city and country. These distinct yet complimentary faces of Davis's home state of Michigan are lovingly melded in his songwriting.
The Rachel Davis Band
Rachael Davis has been singing on-stage since she was two years old. Being born to parents who never intended to keep her very far from music for very long seems to have made all the difference in the world. Before she could walk Rachael would be set in a car seat and placed in the middle of a song circle, and with silver bells on her ankles she would shake her feet to the rhythm.
Delilah DeWylde and the Lost Boys
Call it integrity, going against the grain, being niche-y, whatever. Delilah Dewylde and the Lost Boys march to the country shuffle of a bygone era; before country was on FM radio, before country artists had personal trainers, and most certainly, before country sounded like rock and roll with fiddle.
Detour Bluegrass
Detour is a bluegrass band from Northern Lower Michigan. Detour combines original contemporary bluegrass sounds along with great traditional favorites. With tight focused harmonies, precision instrumentals, and creative melodies, Detour takes you down a unique bluegrass road.
Ralston Bowles
"Ralston's performances are always a treat and filled with the unexpected. He's the Cheshire Cat of the folksters, slyly romping in an unpredictable wonderland." - Michael Packer, Station Manager, WYCE Radio
Luke Winslow King
For the past several years, King has been performing concerts in the U.S. and Europe, writing, and experimenting with his talents in composition, guitar, piano, orchestration, improvisation and performance.
K. Jones & the Benzie Playboys
K. Jones & the Benzie Playboyz are bringing the roots sound of southwest Louisiana's Creole, Cajun, and Zydeco scene to ya'll up here in the Great Lakes area.
Covert Operations
Covert is an organism that is healthy and hungry, something that grows larger with each fan made. The music is exciting, mysterious, spontaneous and refreshing. Each show is a celebration, the kind of thing that makes you glad you exist and helps you appreciate life, a time of celebration. Their music is the catalyst to celebrate, dance and BE YOU!
Jessica Lea Mayfield
"Everything about singer-songwriter Jessica Lea Mayfield is both incredibly practiced yet incredibly sincere—a binary that becomes only more compelling in consideration of her 1989 birthday." -- Pop Matters

From concert halls to many large bluegrass festivals through the U.S. they can be found playing their very distinct style of bluegrass.
Red Tail Ring
Hailing from the directional extremes of Michigan’s two peninsulas (lower and upper), Michael Beauchamp and Laurel Premo come together to form Red Tail Ring, a duo with roots firmly planted in Appalachian old-time and folk music, and branches reaching out to forge new arrangements complete with haunting harmonies and an expansive dynamic range. Red Tail Ring, in its name, seeks to call to mind tales of the backwoods, wild in their formation, and wise at their core.
