A. Savage

MUSICIANS A. SAVAGE Singer-songwriter A. Savage, best known as the co-frontman for New York indie rock band Parquet Courts, writes quieter, introspective love songs on his 2017 debut solo album, a departure from the angular, frenetic sound of his acclaimed post-rock outfit.

ANTHONY WILKERSON Local gem Wilkerson keeps the heartbreak in honky-tonk. With a full band of ramblers, Wilkerson delivers the warbling, energetic, and at times sorrowful songs that are the hallmark of the genre. Venmo: @AnthonyWilkerson

BLVCK SPVDE A true cornerstone of the national music community. We’re

fortunate to hold the talents of multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Blvck Spvde in such close proximity. Along with his robust ensemble, this St. Louis representative utilizes the language of neo-soul, future funk, and hip-hop to lead audiences to a place of resonance and healing.

CARA LOUISE BAND A compelling singer-songwriter with a

penchant for captivating crowds, Cara Louise combines the familiarity of classic country and folk rock to create a modern alternative style with an indie sheen.

THE COSMIC RIDERS The Cosmic Riders are an alt-country outfit laced with psychedelic sonics and powered by the steady vocal stylings of Tyle Toomsen, creating music that might be considered regressive by modern “country” standards. Venmo: @Tyle-Toomsen
