About Amasa Hines – Creative influence is a tempest. Many artists find themselves buffeted about by desires to embody the standards of those they admire. Some never find balance or come to know authenticity. Amasa Hines strives against the current of these truths in an attempt to distill their respective cadences in a singularity. The sound is a tapestry of history and imagination; fusing the psychedelic and the chant with blues poetry and the African’s back beat.

The six piece includes brothers Judson and Joshua Spillyards, Ryan Hitt, Matt Rice, Norman Williamson and Joshua Asante. The band completed their first studio LP All The World There Is in 2014 and is currently touring with that release.

About The Hudson Branch – For the past six years four brothers from Chicago have been busy using their love of pop music to build a mini-empire under the name The Hudson Branch. They’ve collaborated with NPR’s popular and innovative podcast Radiolab, shared the stage with English new wave pioneers New Order, and performed experimental live shows alongside media giants Google and Disney. They’ve also recorded and produced three ambitious albums.

Recently formed Bad Match is rock and roll. Un-gussied, raw-throated rock and roll that makes you lick your teeth and spill your beer. As the Arkansas Times has said, they play with promise, “balancing compulsive, soulful rock with carefully calibrated arrangements heavy on Rhodes piano and steely, charismatic energy.”  Bad Match is Sarah Stricklin, Isaac Alexander, Ryan Hitt, Jack Lloyd, and Mike Motley.
