Batata Doce
Batata Doce
Batata Doce (Portuguese for "sweet potato") debuted in the spring of 2007 as a guitar/vocals duo of Atlantans Russell Owens and Leticia Arioli, performing their earliest shows at a DIY venue called the I.S.P. space in East Atlanta. Two I.S.P. staff members saw the need for a fuller sound, and thus Justin Sias and Todd Morrison joined on bass and drums.  Former Rock*A*Teens member/co-founder Justin Hughes joined next as a 2nd guitarist (having previously played with Arioli and Owens in the Atlanta rock project known as King Congregation), and saxophonist Todd Barnett signed up soon after. Since then the band has made a name for itself in the Atlanta area for its Tropicalia-influenced psychedelic garage pop sound with mostly Portuguese-language vocals.

Billy Sunday
Billy SundayThinking people's music. Pretty and rough. Like an elegant pedicured foot in a comfortable old leather shoe. Make you cry. Get you laughing. Scare the piss out of you. Honest. No excuses. We stand in reverence on the backs of giants. We do our best to carry the flame that Woody lit and Bob Dylan kept burning so bright in our youth. Ours is the sound of bald tires on a back road to the party where you learned to dance. And kissed that girl. And got in that fight. We are a great speckled bird with Rock and Roll stuck in our craw. We live in the space between a hot Saturday night and a cool Sunday morning. We all grew up where Elvis drove a truck for money. And Hank used to play for whiskey. You hear it in the songs we sing. Our separate voices become some new greater thing. With words we hope ring true.

George Scheller

Paper Scissors Rocketpack
Paper Scissors Rocket Pack

Scarcely over a year ago, Pensacola Florida band The Cripple Lilies released their first -- and only -- studio offering, La Bete, a richly textured, sonically ambitious collection of finely crafted, delicate and deliberate tunes.  Now, Chad Bishop, central singer/songwriter from the Lilies has scoured the corners of the Southeast, emerging with a new project, a new band and a new perspective on his craft. Fittingly, the working handle for the new vision is Paper Scissors Rocketpack.

Peace 101
Peace101

A mellow acoustic duo featuring guitar and flute, Peace101 performs music that will soothe your day.

Portnoir
PortnoirPortnoir is a soulful new folkster who combines buoyant ragtime guitar licks and gallantly folky progressions with hearty and often topical lyrics. His repertoire extends from profound originals to classic blues covers and sometimes even good ol' childrens songs. Enjoy his music over a nice cup of coffee whether you're a soccer mom or the rootsiest of folk fans. Portnoir is a native of the Pensacola area. He is currently a student at Pensacola Junior College and often plays music out on the town.

Red
RedTwo Pensacola girls and their guitars.  Abby and Sarah have known each other since kindergarden and started playing guitar and performing together in elementary school.  Since then, they have played at local arts and music festivals and at open mics at the Belmont.  Influenced by artists that they have seen at the Suwannee music festivals and other artists such as The Beatles, KT Tunstal, and John Mayer, they perform a mix of both original music and soulful covers that are enjoyed by anyone who just loves music.

Renee Arozqueta
Renee Arozqueta
Renee Arozqueta has constructed an engaging modern folk sound on a foundation of classical piano instruction and self-taught guitar skill. With the addition of an accordion to her repertoire in 2007, her sound continued to develop. Her music carries with it a certain realness, that can be tongue and cheek at times; an unvarnished truth hidden by the lyrics of a hopeless romantic, whispered or belted out. Her voice has been compared to the voices of Natalie Merchant and Fiona Apple, but is multifaceted and dynamic.

Tammerlin
Tammerlin“Smart, original lyrics and memorable melodies mixed with innovative reworkings of obscure traditional fare.”  - Bradenton Herald

Trish Musgrove
Trish MusgroveGuitarist and songwriter Trish Musgrove's sultry, acoustic style captivates any live audience. Her folksy, bluesy style is from living in The South, a 20-minute marriage, her daughter, cheating men and whiskey. Her soft, yet intense, melodic and flawless tone makes her performance a truly enriching experience, which sets her apart from many regional acts.
Musgrove's delicate and thoughtful ballads are heard all the way to your soul because she sings directly from hers. Audience members who enjoy pure, truthful lyrics of struggle, overcoming odds, and that funny thing we call "life" will not be let down from Musgrove's performance.
