Nowhere Washington:
Relax, you’ve got nowhere to be. Original pop-rock music inspired by growing up out in the sticks. Nick Sherman, keys and vocals; Angela Paladino, vocals; John Littleton "Chili Dog" Tyler II, bass; Jeremiah Johnson, drums and Kyle Martel on guitar.

Western Terrestrials:
Hard driving honky-tonk outsiders from Vermont. Conjuring up sweeping panoramas of dusty astral plains and the allure of whiskey-laden honky tonks, Western Terrestrials are the kind of wry, unconventional outsiders country music could get used to.

Jonny Hick and the Kickers:
Jonny Hick and the Kickers are a Vermont based band comprised of Franklin county natives. Jonny grew up on a small family dairy and maple farm in Highgate, Vermont, where his father introduced him to Bob Dylan, The Band, Johnny Cash, and Van Morrison who all remain heavy influences on him to this day. Jonny plays his take on a Travis picking style of guitar while singing original arrangements.

The Kickers, while also being local hicks, provide a contrast to Jonny's Americana/country style with varying indie influences of their own.
