Jude Brothers
Jude Brothers
with support from A Clatter And Drone
Jude Brothers is a folk derived singer-songwriter from Arkansas, with a penchant for whimsy and tender heartedness. Brothers’ distinct writing style is marked by congenial contrasts: passionate & playful, calculated & relaxed, approachable & quirky.
Their lyrics communicate a simultaneous existential dread and intoxicating thrill of living and loving, a practice in raw and shameless vulnerability shared through song. All of this is transmitted through nimble vocal frolicking- a shapeshifter voice crawling, leaping, pirouetting through a mystical landscape of their own creation.
.....Let’s say you are in a forest, and you don’t know how you got there. A strong voice lilts from an autumnal quiet to a riveting loud stream to sing you the spell of their story. Is it a mockingbird? The spirit of an ash tree? A mischievous, but benevolent forest sprite?
Nay! Tis but your new friend, Jud. Or Jude. Or Judith. With harp, guitar, and sometimes tenor banjo in tow, this freaky little Ozark bard comes bearing gifts- songs from somewhere between the real and the ethereal landscapes of their life.

What the press is saying…
“There´s something deeply captivating about Jude Brothers, something that brings all other surrounding noise or rush to an utter calm. Be it through their comforting lyrical storytelling, angelic melodic trills or whimsical performances, the Arkansas artist has a unique charm that´s set to take off. If you can catch them live then don´t miss the opportunity, trust us. Prep for tears and goosebumps, though - Jude Brothers speaks straight to the soul. “ -Ciara Bains, Holler Country
“Solo Arkansas singer-songwriter Jude Brothers delivered a mesmerizing set behind their harp. Their voice aches with a high Ozarks mystery, beautiful and haunting, while their songs wind like kudzu through long ballads and existential inquiry.“ -Doug Freeman, The Austin Chronicle
“Alternating between banjo, harp, and guitar, Brothers’ emotive performance recalled the likes of Gillian Welch, Joanna Newsom and Karen Dalton.” -Jonny Leather, Mecca Lecca “-a powerful songwriting force conveying emotive lyricism, freak-folk stylings and sick-ass harp.” -Alex De Vore, Santa Fe Reporter

Adam Nolan Band
Adam Nolan Band
Prolific Irish Free Jazz Saxophonist Adam Nolan has released 18 albums to date and recently released a new album titled ARE U FREE with some of the finest American musicians on the NYC free jazz scene.
His philosophy is that each gig and recording session is a new experience and, along with this, has recently added spoken word and Rap into the sets mixing free jazz with Irish music and hip hop and metal, giving an eclectic modern authentic style.
"Listened to your album last night, I love it! Talking about where free music may go in future, like we were yesterday, fusing it with rap, punk, other genres, may part of the answer. Also, when I was a teen, James Nadien's grandpa, who was a great saxophone player, was a bit of a mentor to me, great drummer!" - Alan Braufman "A rising star of modern jazz" - Jazzlife Japan

Described as a "gentle, lulling delight" by The Guardian, Salt House blend heartfelt vocal and instrumental interplay, offering listeners a moment of reflection and connection. New songs that sound like they’ve always been here, ancient ballads woken up. Poems given melodies they’ve long deserved.

They incorporate their natural surroundings into the fabric of the music that speaks of a shared love of place, people, and evolving tradition.
