Annie and the Caldwells bring their multigenerational gospel-soul sound from Mississippi. Their debut album, Can’t Lose My (Soul), has been hailed by critics as a modern gospel landmark, blending tradition with raw, contemporary energy. Performances promise explosive lead vocals, hypnotic family harmonies, and a transcendent, church-meets-dance floor celebration.
John Gallagher, Jr. is a singer/songwriter, actor, and Tony award-winning Broadway star of Spring Awakening, American Idiot, and Swept Away. His music has been praised for its emotional vulnerability. Intimate, unfiltered, and quietly powerful, Gallagher’s music blends folk, rock, and raw emotional storytelling into a performance that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.
Jon Cleary is a Grammy Award-winning musician widely respected for his deep authenticity that channels the spirit of New Orleans with precision, groove, and unmistakable soul. His latest album with his band, the Absolute Monster Gentlemen, The Bywater Sessions, is a musical tour-de-force that showcases the grit, funk, and joy that has packed concert halls from New Orleans to Tokyo and beyond.
Dan Tyminski is the unmistakable voice behind “Man of Constant Sorrow” from O Brother, Where Art Thou? A 14-time Grammy award winner and decorated bluegrass artist, Tyminski is widely regarded as one of the finest vocalists in acoustic music, and his voice is instantly recognizable — powerful, pure, and steeped in tradition.
Dustin Dale Gaspard, known for his blend of folk, soul, and Americana influences, is nationally recognized as a standout contestant on NBC’s The Voice. Gaspard draws from Cajun, folk, and country traditions to create music that feels both timeless and immediate.
Davina and the Vagabonds is a dynamic ensemble reviving early jazz, blues, and ragtime with bold, modern energy. With millions of streams and a devoted global following, Davina’s vocals draw comparisons to legends of classic jazz and blues — a dazzling throwback that feels completely alive and of the moment.
Dom Flemons brings forgotten sounds and stories back to life with warmth, charisma, and virtuosity, and is celebrated not only as a performer, but as a historian and storyteller. Known as “The American Songster,” since his repertoire covers over one hundred years of American roots music, Flemons is a master of banjo, bones, guitar, and more, blending scholarship with showmanship.
