Seth Walker
Feb 14 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Isis Music Hall--The Main Stage

Seth Walker is often cited as one of the most prolific contemporary Americana artists on the scene today. He’s a multi-dimensional talent who combines a gift for melody and lyric alongside a rich, Gospel-drenched, Southern-inflected voice with a true blue knack for getting around on the guitar. His most recent studio album, Are You Open,​ produced by Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers, and a string of singles, including “We Got This,” “Spirits Moving” and a cover of Van Morrison’s classic “Warm Love” further build upon this reputation.

Growing up on a commune in rural North Carolina, the son of classically trained musicians, Seth played cello long before discovering the guitar in his 20s. When his introduction to the blues came via his Uncle Landon Walker, who was both a musician and disc jockey, his fate was forever sealed. Instantaneously, Seth was looking to artists like T-Bone Walker, Snooks Eaglin, and B.B. King as a wellspring of endless inspiration. The rest is history. He’s released ten albums, broken into the Top 20 of the Americana Radio Charts, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart and received praise from ​NPR, American Songwriter, No Depression and ​Relix​, among others.

Come enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks at the Isis Music Hall. Reservations are highly recommended.

Darby Wilcox
Feb 18 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Peace Center

Hero Image

Darby Wilcox is a singer/songwriter from Greenville, SC. Using her soulful voice and booming stage presence, she has spent the last ten years dominating the Upstate’s music scene. Her debut album, 11:11, is an ethereal escapade through the last decade of her life.

The long anticipated full-length release of her latest project pulls Darby’s own truth through the audience’s mind, refracting it against the backdrop of the superbly talented Peep Show. Direct, but mysterious, familiar but fresh, listeners will never want these songs to end.

“Listening to 11:11, Wilcox’s long-awaited debut album as a solo artist, the emotionalism of her music is hard to deny. From the plaintive sad-girl ukulele strums of the music at its most intimate to the more boisterous country-noir rambles her backing band (known affectionately as the Peep Show) delivers, Wilcox’s voice does nothing but pull and tug on the heartstrings.”
