wWAYLOn (Americana/Punk)
WAYLON gives you roses and thorns as he sings his brutal truths, bringing you "forward thinking" southern music. Mama went into labor at a Bluegrass festival in 1981 while his old man picked mandolin onstage, earning WWAYLON the title "The Bluegrass Baby" by local media. WWAYLON was thrust into the South and forced to reconcile with the state of humanity, the lies and hypocrisy taught in school, and the heresies committed by the Church.
Alienated by the people who felt he should just "quiet down", years went by as WWAYLON walked alone in his convictions, never giving in to the apathy of others. Art is always propaganda, and WWAYLON is a leader who has found his place as a shepherd to the black sheep.
Mekenzie Jackson (Americana)
Mekenzie grew up in Woodstock GA and recorded her first EP in 2005 entitled “Where I Stand”. Where I stand is a collection of emotional and raw acoustic ballads that evoke other singer/songwriters like Alanis Morissette and Liz Phair.
In 2010 Mekenzie recorded a second EP called “Introspective”. “Introspective” gave Mekenzie the chance to work in the studio with Producer Shane Stever and craft a clean pop/country sound for the 6 recorded songs.
In 2012 Mekenzie was invited into a new Atlanta band called “OWNER OF THE SUN”. “OWNER OF THE SUN” is a five piece Americana band from Atlanta, GA. They’re a group of friends formed from a shared love of bands and songwriters like Gram Parsons, The Band, and Steve Earle. These collaborative songwriters put their musical experience down-home southern songwriting that is described as Modern Americana. Their enthusiasm for sharing this with anyone who will listen comes through in live performances and fireside conversations.
