SURRENDER HILL

“Elements of Americana, Folk, Country, and Singer/Songwriter—sounding like a perfect cross between Bruce Springsteen, Rodney Crowell, and Dolly Parton, both vocally and musically speaking. It all sounds very fresh and memorable, with a nice variety due to the use of both male and female lead vocals as well as sharing them. Surrender Hill delivers high quality and should therefore not be ignored.” — Strutter Magazine

Surrender Hill, the husband-and-wife Americana duo of Robin Dean Salmon and Afton Seekins Salmon, weaves soulful country, roots rock, and heartfelt storytelling into a sound that bridges rural American traditions with a global perspective. Based in North Georgia, they’ve built a reputation for rich harmonies, evocative lyrics, and dynamic live performances, touring extensively across the U.S. and abroad. Robin, born in South Africa and raised on a Texas ranch, blends punk grit with country soul, while Afton, who grew up between Alaska and Arizona, channels her background in dance and songwriting into timeless, emotive vocals. Since meeting in 2013, they’ve released a string of acclaimed albums—Surrender Hill (2015), Right Here Right Now (2017), Tore Down Fences (2018), A Whole Lot of Freedom (2020), and the double album Just Another Honky Tonk in a Quiet Western Town (2022)—culminating in their latest release, River of Tears (2024), recorded at Blue Betty Studio in Ellijay, Georgia. With songs like the title track and “Unconditional Life,” inspired by Afton’s grandparents’ 70-year love story, Surrender Hill captures resilience, unity, and the beauty of surrender—not to defeat, but to love and creativity.

A musical journey through the birthplace of rock 'n' roll and the sound that shook the world.

Join three Tennessee artists through the historical archives of Memphis's own Sun Records - playing the classics.

Sun Records, founded in 1952 by Sam Phillips in Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the most influential labels in American music history. It became the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll by blending blues, country, gospel, and rhythm & blues into a groundbreaking new sound. Phillips championed raw, unpolished artists and believed that real emotion mattered more than perfection.

The label launched the careers of legends including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison. Its small, unassuming studio on Union Avenue became a cultural landmark, capturing some of the most important early recordings in rock, rockabilly, and country music. Sun Records remains a symbol of musical innovation, artistic freedom, and the beginning of a global cultural shift.

“Webb flat out rocks! They serve up potent Southern comfort.” — Rolling Stone

Webb Wilder – Roots Rock Royalty (Nashville, TN)
Inducted into the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame

Webb Wilder was Americana before the genre had a name—true Roots Rock Royalty with a career spanning nearly four decades. His albums run the gamut from early rock ’n’ roll to gritty classic rock, Outlaw Country, straight-up blues, Brit Rock, rockabilly, Southern rock, and everything in between. Along the way he’s earned major-label releases, MTV airplay, cult-classic film stardom, a long run as one of XM Radio’s first national DJs, and a global fanbase built from countless miles on the road delivering his signature “Uneasy Listening” sound.

His 13th album, Hillbilly Speedball, reunites him with world-renowned guitarist and longtime collaborator David Grissom, who also penned the title track. The record features appearances from Vince Gill (“the world’s most down-to-earth superstar,” per Wilder), legendary Wrecking Crew guitarist Richard Bennett, Fats Kaplin (ex-Jack White), and other notable guests—further cementing Wilder’s place as one of American music’s most versatile and compelling voices.

Originally from North Georgia, Ben Torbett’s new album, Bluer Side, captures his roots in classic country, rock, and honest songwriting, with rough-and-tumble lyricism that has earned the record high praise. His shows always sell out, featuring some of the best country from Chattanooga performed by all-star players.

Opening: Cliff Westfall, a Kentucky-born songwriter now based in the Catskills and NYC area, blends rock-tinged classic country with influences ranging from Dwight Yoakam and Rodney Crowell to Elvis Costello. His 2018 debut album, Baby You Win, earned airplay on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country, rave reviews in over 30 publications worldwide, and spots on multiple year-end “Best Of” lists, while his song “More and More (I Love You Less and Less)” was a finalist in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at MerleFest. An 8th-generation Kentuckian raised in Owensboro, Westfall channels the mix of country, rock, and old-school R&B from his youth into his signature “electrified honky tonk” sound. Currently, he is working on a new record with acclaimed Nashville producer Jordan Lehning, continuing to craft witty, hook-filled songs that critics describe as some of the most cunning and melodic country in the contemporary era.

ADVANCE BASE x MOONTYPE x Signs Following

Advance Base is the melancholic soft-rock project of Chicago songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone), who crafts minimalist, nostalgia-soaked ballads with electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, drum machines, and his warm conversational baritone. His acclaimed 2018 album Animal Companionship—praised by GoldFlakePaint and Various Small Flames—helped cement his reputation as one of indie music’s most empathetic storytellers, followed by releases like Wall of Tears, Live at Home, and the 2022 single “Little Sable Point Lighthouse.” Described by critics as everything from “weirdly uplifting lo-fi” to “a Raymond Carver short story collection set to music,” Ashworth continues to build a quietly powerful body of work centered on intimate characters and tender emotional truths.

Moontype’s second album, I Let the Wind Push Down On Me (out May 23, 2025 on Orindal Records), captures the band’s rebirth as lead singer and bassist Margaret McCarthy embraces solitude, emotional honesty, and the beauty of small moments. Following their 2021 debut, the Chicago indie rock outfit expanded its lineup, deepened its creative chemistry through weekly jam sessions, and shaped songs that balance vulnerable lyricism with bold, unpredictable arrangements. From the shimmering single “Long Country” to introspective tracks born from personal upheaval, the album chronicles McCarthy’s growth and the band’s collective evolution—an intimate, invigorating document of confronting dark emotions, trusting the process, and emerging stronger together.

Joshua Songs

Joshua Songs has spent more than 20 years alternating between living as a recluse and exposing himself musically to audiences across the country. His unique voice and surprising range lend a haunting vulnerability to his stories of love, loss, and life on the road. With a voice equal parts gravel and glory, Joshua delivers a dark and dirty brand of blues.

Endelouz

Endelouz is rock ’n’ roll and Memphis soul, though they’re most often cited for their devotion to The Rolling Stones. The band began in 2009 when Jack was living in Memphis and recording in Nashville with drummer Joseph Berkley and bass player Dennis Hubbard, who were based in Chattanooga. Jack eventually returned to Chattanooga to work with the band full-time.

Since then, Endelouz has performed throughout the Southeast at festivals, bars, clubs, and theaters including Nightfall, Riverfront Nights, Cannabis Fest, Roots Fest, and Beer Over Dirt. The band has recorded six studio albums and produced records for North American Royalty, Keith Crisp, Tab Spencer, and Dave McDaniel. Their song “Get Her Back Again” served as the theme for the regional television show Lindsay Street Hall Presents.

In 2020, Endelouz launched a video series called The Chateau Del Endelouz. Born from the isolation and madness of that year, the project blended art, music, and comedy into a fantastical world where the band navigated a series of comedic adventures. The series has been featured in several film festivals including The Nooga Underground Film Festival, The Festival of Rejects, and Video Extravaganzarama.

In 2022, Endelouz welcomed Jessie Knowles as a background vocalist and contributor to The Chateau Del Endelouz. The band’s latest album, Flooded House on the Hill, marks a return to their American roots and features the single “Hazy Gayle.”

“An introspective, homespun philosopher.” – New York Times

Steve Forbert is a true American musical treasure, with a career defined by observant, melodic songwriting that finds magic in everyday moments. His latest album, Daylight Savings Time, produced by Steve Greenwell, features contributions from Aaron Comess, Rob Clores, Byron House, and Gurf Morlix, and celebrates the subtle joys and reflections of life with Forbert’s distinctive voice, acoustic guitar, harmonica, and foot-stomped rhythms. The album’s first single, “Sound Existence,” captures his blend of warmth, wit, and wisdom: “The best ain't yet to come, but you could still get by just fine.”

Arriving in New York City from Meridian, Mississippi, in 1976, Forbert quickly established himself in the “new folk” revival while also performing in venues like CBGB and busking across Greenwich Village. His early albums, Alive on Arrival and Jackrabbit Slim, including the #11 pop hit “Romeo’s Tune,” cemented his place in American music alongside legends like Dylan, Zevon, Parsons, and Springsteen. Across decades, Forbert has refined a singular musical voice, blending narrative storytelling with enduring melodies, making him a beloved figure in folk, rock, and Americana.

MELISSA CARPER

Celebrated for her sharply observant lyrics, homespun charm, and a voice that feels lifted from a vintage gramophone, Melissa Carper creates old-school country music that resonates across eras. Her sound blends old-time, bluegrass, western swing, jazz, and blues—the roots threads that once formed country music before the industry divided it into genres. Nashville musician Chris Scruggs captured her timeless appeal by dubbing her “HillBillie Holiday,” adding, “She’s as good as it gets.”

Carper grew up in North Platte, Nebraska, surrounded by her parents’ Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn records. She and her siblings sang gospel in churches and later formed a family country band, with Melissa holding down the bass by age twelve.
