The Dixie Bee-Liners
(Bluegrass)
with Miss Major & her Minor Mood Swings
The Dixie Bee-Liners is a collection worthy of praise... Brandi Hart has a voice that could give Alison Krauss a run for the money and could Buddy Woodward be the next Dan Tyminski...? With their immense talent on display, one could not help but think Brandi Hart and Buddy Woodward should be on their way to an even bigger career in the very near future." The Roots Music Association has named The Dixie Bee-Liners as Bluegrass Artist of the Year for 2008.

The Hot Club of Cowtown
Alternative / Pop / Acoustic
The story begins with a classic musical travel adventure: an ad in the music section of New York City's Village Voice. In the mid-'90s Elana James was looking to join a "gigging band" when Whit Smith answered her ad. Though he had no shows on the books, Whit somehow convinced Elana to come down to his East Village apartment and rock out for an evening just to see what would happen. When she arrived, he opened the door in big furry slippers and the rest is history.

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys
with very special guest Hillbilly Casino
Since forming in 1988, Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys have emerged as one of the world's most respected practitioners of American roots music, western swing, rockabilly,and traditional country playing it like they invented it. "I think of us s just a rock and roll band, a rock and roll band that's letting the roots show," says bandleader Big Sandy. Whether they're playing the Grand Ole Opry, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, or simply climbing out of a bus after rolling into your town, these guys are bringing us some great old-time rock and roll.
Hillbilly Casino
In a town known more for generating pop country 'hat acts' and Contemporary Christian music, there is a storm brewing. Small independent bands with no management, booking, record labels or local media support are changing the way people think about Nashville, Tennessee. One of the leaders of this movement is the Hillbilly Casino, the brain child of Nic Roulette, former singer for Indiana rockabilly powerhouse. The Blue Moon Boys." In 2004 Roulette moved to Nashville. After having a rotating cast of characters backing him up, Nic found a solid core of top notch players that were interested in being a band. In the spring of 2005 when Nic hooked up with bassist Geoff Firebaugh (BR5-49), guitarist Ronnie Crutcher (Tabasko Kat, Brian Setzer�s Nashvillians) and drummer Andrew Dickson, things started to come together. What started as nothing more than a revved up rockabilly band playing for tips at Layla's Bluegrass Inn on Nashville's famed Lower Broadway,
