Sponsored by Drinkmate Theme music provided by Peter Perkins   Suzi Kory Bio ‘A lusciously arranged ballad reminiscent of Linda Ronstadt's glorious country roots' is how FYI Music News recently described Canadian country-rock artist Suzi Kory's latest ballad 'Settle of the Dust'. Considering Kory possesses the lyrical vulnerability and glistening vocals of Emmylou Harris, while maintaining the powerful delivery of Ronstadt it comes as no surprise that alongside Dolly Parton she cites these country queens as her biggest musical influences.  Born in Beirut, Kory's parents moved the family to Toronto when she was eight months old. Her mother, a devoted fan of country music would continuously play classic country, and Kory found herself singing along. By her teens, she became exposed to hard rock, most notably Guns N' Roses.   https://www.suzikory.com/

They're tight without being boringly slick; leaving just enough rough edges to become one of the most exciting and fun 'originals' live bands on the circuit today. Their ethos is ‘it's not just a gig, it's a night out'. This is a band who love to entertain people and to make them smile; to inspire them to dance and sing along. Settled into the current super-tight lineup after many years and hundreds of shows the band is on fire right now, bringing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana to the gig.  They always want to have fun and make sure the crowd does too. This is not a band that stands onstage staring at their (red) shoes.   www.jwroots.co.uk & https://jwrc.bandcamp.com

Few artists can bridge the genre's most beloved traditions while carving a path of their own, but Tommy Townsend successfully inhabits that unique space.    The Georgia native actually began recording his “new” album Southern Man more than 25 years ago working with Country Music Hall of Famer Waylon Jennings and his legendary bassist Jerry Bridges. Townsend met Jennings when he was just a kid and never dreamed his idol would one day become his mentor.    “Hell's Angels used to do security for Waylon,” Townsend says, recalling the Georgia concert where he met Jennings. “My mom and dad were telling one of the guys that I liked Waylon and he said, ‘Bring Tommy down here to the gate after the show and we'll let him meet him.' I remember going on the bus and talking to him for 20-30 minutes. He was asking me questions about playing music and he was as nice as he could be, made me feel right at home.”   https://www.tommytownsendmusic.com/

He entered the music scene leading worship at a former youth conference, Acquire The Fire, and from there became the worship leader at his local church for seven years. Since then, he's been using his personal experiences of God, love, and the journey of life, to inspire his dream to keep pursuing the music that makes him come alive.   Daniel began a worship movement called @thepourworship that meets once a month in his community. He also owns a coffee business he launched during the beginning of the pandemic, Panama City Coffee Co. that provides Panamanian coffee to locals via his coffee bike. Daniel's coffee business was a way for him to give back to his city which lost so much during devastating Hurricane Michael that hit the area hard in 2018.   Daniel has always stayed busy chasing after all of his passions, but his true purpose is realized when he's singing songs captivating the listener through convicting lyrics and catchy melodies. His songs invite listeners on a journey of discovering the complexities of the heart, mind, and soul.   Daniel lives in Panama City Beach with his wife Jenn and their three children, Jace, Livi, and Ellie.

My best known credit, so far, is co-writing the MCA multi-platinum hit single “I Need Your Love" with Tom Scholz of the band Boston. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and grew up there and in Brazil and Colombia. All that traveling exposed me to many ethnic and popular music styles at a very early age. Music was everywhere!  My musical journey has taken me from teenage garage band madness (I signed my first record contract at age 14), to busking country blues on the streets of Europe and the US, to performing with Chuck Berry, The Coasters, The Drifters, The Shirelles, Brian Highland, Cheech Marin and Little Anthony. I was also a member of Berkeleys' pop reggae band The Shakers, 50's/60's show band Johnny Baron and the Bel Aires, and a founding partner with the international touring production show Abbacadabra. My latest project is a tribute to one of my all-time heroes, the legendary blues icon Howlin' Wolf. Featuring a high energy collection of re-imagined blues classics, that also includes my autobiographical title song,“Tracking Down the Wolf." I'm currently working on an album of guitar based original blues rock songs. Stay tuned! https://www.fredsampsonmusic.com

Trey Nichols (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Jonathan Mackey (Bass, Vocals), Dylan Johnson (Drums), and Emmett Redding (Guitar, Vocals), make up Yes Trespassing. The band formed in the midst of a pandemic and began arming themselves with material to share and tour with once things opened back up. Now that that is happening, Yes Trespassing is ready.  Their single, Angelica, premiered on June 10th, 2021, the precursor to their debut EP, “When The Light Is Gone,” which released on July 3rd, 2021. Though they are just beginning to release content, the band has already begun playing shows in various states, where crowds experience what one fan called a “wall of sound.” Yes Trespassing's sound is heavily influenced by the 90's and 2000's rock movements, from alternative to grunge to even some heavier metal bands. Their songs emphasize the intertwining of instantly memorable melodies with thought-provoking lyrics that listeners easily relate to, while also providing a driving rhythm that demands head banging. The band encourages listeners to follow them on Instagram @yes_trespassing_music to get weekly updates on shows and new music.

Today an accomplished guitar player with a voice that's bigger than he is, Hughes has developed his signature style: a fiery brand of blues-rock whose lineage stretches back to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Cream. With three studio albums and a live album from his 2020 UK tour under his belt, Hughes is releasing his fourth studio album, Modern Nostalgia, showcasing his growth as a musician, songwriter, and producer. Written during the pandemic and recorded at the legendary Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, GA, the music on the new record is a sweet mix of blues, blues-rock, and southern rock; a modern successor to the great music that put Capricorn on the map many years ago. Modern Nostalgia is set to release July 9th, 2021. https://hughestaylormusic.com
