Clover-Lynn & The Hellfires: Clover-Lynn and the Hellfires is a project born from ashes of olde; of olde memories, olde melodies and an even older spirit. With her roots dug deep into the mountain sides of the Virginia, Clover-Lynn pulls at those roots of her heritage in search of both uncanny and hearth. Conjuring the sounds of an old country dance hall, the smell of mold in an old church on Sunday morning, and the warmth of a story passed down from tongues that came before. With the help of her band of Hellfires, Clover-Lynn is able to create a show that reminds those away from home they can always go back and giving others a feeling a yearning for a home they've never known.

The Shoats: Emerging from the in-between realms of Morgantown, WV, and Millheim, PA, The Shoats write an alt-folk soundtrack to the strange times they find themselves in—a time where the old ways feel more relevant than ever. Characterized by the plaintive sound of fiddles, mountain singing, The Shoats call on their collective background of Appalachian old-time fiddling, folk songs, honky tonk, and the high-lonesome to reimagine the songs and sounds of their home through haunting original material and well-loved covers. The Shoats won the Appalachian String Band Music Festival’s Neo-Traditional Band Competition in 2023, just a few months after the band’s formation. The band is comprised of brothers Gus and Huck Tritsch (Millheim, PA), Mary Linscheid (Morgantown, WV), and Alex Heflin (Morgantown, WV).
