THE KRICKETS are a female Americana group from the gulf coast who's music is
what Paste Magazine describes as ”a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind sound.” Fresh
out of the studio, the band just finished a sophomore album entitled 'Redbird.'
The title track, 'Redbird' was recently named the 2019 Alt Country Song of
the Year at the Independent Music Awards. Produced by Grammy nominee
Sam Ashworth and recorded at Brown Owl Studios in Nashville this album has
everything from traditional country to folk rock steeped in harmony and an earthy
instrumentation.THE CURRYS, who cut their teeth playing the oyster bars and listening rooms of
the Florida Panhandle, have since written and released three full-length albums:
Follow (2014), is “one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard” (Todd
Moe of NCPR); West of Here (2016), with its “tight-as-a-rubber-band” harmonies
(PopMatters); and This Side of the Glass (2019), which maps new terrain, but like
the previous albums, provides the band's three-part family harmonies and the
organic, lived-in feel of roots music.
