Mark Winters: Texas-based rock singer-songwriter Mark Winters is many things; a witty poet, passionate musician, entrepreneur, optimist, family man, and a bonafide rocket scientist. He first picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife on their anniversary. That’s when he discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. Mark combines music, poetry, a science background, and love for his community to form his signature sound, “rock with a positive vibe.”

Jason Damico: High octane, blues rock, recording artist/actor, multi-instrumentalist, producer, Jason Damico is an emerging and driving force in the entertainment industry. Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina this “rocking young turk” has already racked up many awards, winning 2x Carolina Music Awards for Rock Male Artist of the Year and Youth Artist of the Year; obtaining 14x GRAMMY® Considerations; Triangle Blues Society Solo Blues Challenge Winner competing in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, and more.

Cabin Fever:  Formed in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Chestnut Ridge, New York, four kids went into a basement, picked up instruments and formed a rock band. Called to action by bands such as The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys & Green Day, as well as modern contemporaries such as Sam Fender, Sea Girls & The 1975

Davie Circle: Blending the free-spirited improvisation of jam bands, the lush harmonies of bluegrass, and the rhythmic groove of jazz with the storytelling traditions of Southern rock and Delta blues, Davie Circle creates a sound that’s undeniably American. Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like The Allman Brothers, The Band, and the Grateful Dead, as well as contemporary voices like Tyler Childers and Zac Brown Band, the band brings a fresh twist to the genres they love, crafting music that feels both timeless and new.

Below Grade
Aug

Below Grade

a five-piece cover band born below the surface and built to shake the floor. Based in Raleigh, NC we play raw, live music the way it was meant to be: loud, loose, and locked in.

Our setlist digs deep, mixing rock, alt-rock, roots, 90s bangers, and a few you forgot you loved. We don’t do background music — we play to wake the room up.

If it hits, we play it. If it grooves, we own it. And if you’re there, we’re turning it up.

Cabin Creature

Dark, dreamy, and just a little haunted — Cabin Creature drifts between shadowy folk, slow-burn psych, and off-kilter indie rock. It’s music for late nights, foggy roads, and strange dreams.

Expect layered textures, unexpected turns, and a sound that feels like it crawled out of the woods with stories to tell.

Machine Gun Earl

Machine Gun Earl

Fast, loud, and completely unhinged — Machine Gun Earl doesn't play shows, they detonate them.

Think breakneck riffs, shouted anthems, and the kind of energy that turns a room into a riot. Equal parts garage punk, hardcore, and pure chaos — this is the soundtrack to losing your mind (in the best way possible).

Bring your friends. Bring your earplugs. Machine Gun Earl is coming in hot.
