FEATURING:    TAYLOR STEELE & THE LOVE PREACHERS

Taylor Steele and the Love Preachers are a five piece Americana band with a powerful woman singer/songwriter as its driving force.  Based out of Effingham, IL, they perform a powerful blend of roots rock with soul, country, blues, funk, and jam influences. The group performs original music written by Taylor Steele, 22 year old rhythm guitarist and vocalist, along with their interpretations of music by their favorite artists.

The Love Preachers have a way of sneaking up on you. The music is soulful, but sublime. The songs are smart and original, with roots that take you through rock and roll back to the blues of the old south. The vocal quality of Taylor Steele is reminiscent of great legendary singers like Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples but also modern stars like Susan Tedeschi and Gillian Welch.  Stemming from these influences, she has immense control of her voice as she belts out notes and improvises, all while finding a beautiful balance between vibrato, tone, and projection.  Just when you think you have it figured out, the Love Preachers start preaching, Taylor’s voice starts soaring, and they take you for the ride you won't soon forget.

FEATURING:    THE DEEP HOLLOW

Since the inception of this harmony-driven, original music acoustic trio of Micah Walk, Elizabeth Eckert and Dave Littrell, the attraction between audience and act was obvious and powerful. Also members of other local groups, these three created a world together that brought success not found in other combinations. A possible explanation of the TDH phenomenon might be the similar individual ideals of success and stage presence combined with separate identities and backgrounds in music which forged one of those inexplicable, unexplainable spots in time that produced a likeable, marketable, real music presence.

Beginning with a win in the American Songwriter magazine songwriting contest in 2014 to a well-produced Kickstarter-launched album in 2015 that reached number three on the Folk DJ charts in early 2016, the terrific threesome continues to move forward into the realm of getting there. This summer and into the fall, The Deep Hollow hit a roll with a string of regional shows that exposed the group to audiences outside the local comfort zone, setting the stage for a bigger and better next year. - Tom Irwin, Illinois Times

FEATURING:    NICK SIZEMORE & CHASE SAMEK

Central Illinois based honky tonkers, Nick Sizemore and the Saddletramps, are a different breed. Sometimes, they seem to continue legacies traced back to the likes of Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Sr.. Other times, they are blazing their own trails with a traditional country sound which is layered with musical hooks, catchy songwriting and outlaw energy. In every town they play, they've been branding their names into the memories of people with lowdown growling guitar licks, songs drenched in heartbreak and whiskey, and pedal steel guitar. This combined will leave you feeling like you’ve stepped back into the golden days of country music.

FEATURING:    BRETT CONLIN & THE MIDNIGHT MILES

Like many of his songwriting colleagues, Conlin started off playing in punk rock bands and slowly evolved into the self-reflecting persona he holds dear today. 70's country, raw rock n roll and folk music collide in his debut album "Glad To See You Go". A few chords and catchy melodies provide the soundtrack to his life, whether it be exaggerated or first-hand.

Much of his newer material is steering back toward his punk roots. Personal highs and lows, the increasing value of friendship and the helplessness of outliving your youth are all abundantly present in these songs. Conlin's new single, Good Old Days, approaches the ongoing stigma of mental health issues. "I wanted to write a song that said goodbye to this good old days of our youth mentality. We all need to move on from that and realize that our best days can be every day if we let them. I also wanted to let people know that depression is something I've struggled with like many others. The line at the end of the song that says we are not beyond repair is no joke. It's the thing that most of us need to hear and never do.", Conlin said about his latest release.The song also allows a new persona to come into play for Conlin. The once ex-punk gone country singer has evolved again into a sound filled with echoey guitars and Springsteen-esque approach to telling a story. At his live shows this all combines into a dose of folk-punk and alt-country with hard hitting lyrics to drown all of our collective sorrows in solidarity.

FEATURING:    THE DAVID MAYFIELD PARADE

If you’ve seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Jessica Lea Mayfield, or at Bonnaroo, you’ve caught the charisma, the heart, and the comedy, and it's likely you’ll come back for more.

This singer-songwriter, band leader, and Grammy nominated producer stepped out of the sideman shadows with his 2011 album "The David Mayfield Parade" his follow-up "Good Man Down" was self released and funded with a surprising successful Kickstarter campaign that more than doubled its initial goal of $18,000. On the heels of that success, Mayfield has partnered with Compass Records. A label that Playboy Magazine calls "Nashville's hippest alternative label"

STRANGERS, Mayfield’s first album with Compass, is a tour de force, stretching from the avant-garde to Mayfield’s musical roots, which are buried deep in the bluegrass tradition from a childhood of touring with his family’s band. Tracks range from the Celtic-inspired opener “Caution,” which features Mayfield’s deft ability in orchestrating complex instrumentation, to “The Man I’m Trying to Be,” a sharply honest song that is as dark and it is tender. Mayfield is truly a wordsmith, forging the mundane into the evocative in each track, most notably with “Ohio (It’s Fake),” whose innovative lyrics are propelled from acoustic beginnings into a pure pop finish, Mayfield’s trembling tenor rising above the grooving band.  With the release of Strangers, David Mayfield is clearly going places, fueled by a deadly combination of infectious energy and songwriting chops that only come around once in a blue moon.

David Mayfield grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. His knack for colorful performances was evident as a backing player in his sister Jessica Lea Mayfield’s band including their appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” He oozed personality on stage - a trait that makes him a natural frontman. He took his skills and personality when he joined the bluegrass outfit Cadillac Sky, playing sold out shows with British folk revivalists Mumford and Sons. Around then Mayfield began writing songs after hearing artists like Randy Newman and Simon & Garfunkel. Encouraged by his sister Jessica, & friend Seth Avett, to record his original material, Mayfield did just that, to much acclaim. Since that time he has toured almost non-stop. Conscious of not just being a musician, but an entertainer - something his father instilled in him in the family band - he certainly makes an impression live. But it’s the strength of his songwriting and musicianship, combined with that charm and personality that keep audiences consistently lining up to join the parade.

FEATURING:    DAN HUBBARD

Singer-songwriter Dan Hubbard’s aptly titled new album, Attention, demands just that.

The Illinois native knows his way around a captivating story and a catchy melody, and for the past 15 years he’s been recording albums and putting on at least 125 shows a year, sharing the stage with artists like Martin Sexton, Andrew Combs, and Nikka Costa. From 2008-14, he played with his band the Humadors, and their 2011 release, The Love Show, hit the Roots Rock chart’s Top 50.

In 2016 Hubbard collaborated with Nashville producer and 3-time Grammy Nominee Ken Coomer to release the self-titled solo album Dan Hubbard. “I was truly happy with it,” Hubbard says. “I felt like I finally made the record I had always wanted to, and I wasn’t in any hurry to do another one.” But he had a lot more to say, and the songs on Attention cover everything from lost love and suicide, to brokenness, anger, hatred, and—a running theme in all Hubbard’s work—the redeeming power of love.

Hubbard—the youngest of three boys—credits his brother D.J. with inspiring him to write. “My older brother started writing songs, and he was really good. Seeing his talent made me believe I might have it in me too.” he says. At age nine, Hubbard’s other brother, Erik, died from brain cancer when he was just 12. By 15, Dan discovered guitar as an outlet. “lyrics started coming pretty effortlessly as I learned to play guitar,” he says. “The feeling I experienced when I finished a song…I wanted to keep feeling that.” After graduating from Illinois State University, Hubbard knew he wanted to pursue music, and he’s been honing his craft ever since.

When we pay Attention, Dan Hubbard gets us to smile, cry, and think deeply about our shared human experience.

Their songs have taken them on the road to places like Summer Camp Music Festival (Chillicothe, IL), Mile of Music Festival (Appleton, WI), the NAMM Show (Anaheim, CA) and the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.

“Their rich vocal harmonies and warm vibe will leave you wanting to see more from this Illinois-based duo.” —American Songwriter Magazine

"The band’s multi-genre sound pulls from folk, indie rock, swing and soul — somehow stitching it all together seamlessly…" –Elle Mannion, NPR Music

Winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest - 2019 NAMM Edition for “Love is a Weapon.”
