Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each of the boys remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. An evening with The Oak Ridge Boys is sure to be jam-packed with memories, lots of fun and most of all, great music.

The group’s ascent to the top of the Bluegrass world has left a well-marked trail of success since the band’s inception in 2007. One of the genre’s most award-winning artists in recent years, they have garnered ten International Bluegrass Music Association Awards on the heels of six critically acclaimed albums. Balsam Range has left audiences spellbound while headlining major festivals from coast to coast, selling out venues across the nation, and appearing multiple times at the Grand Ole Opry.

From the moment he enters a room, it becomes clear that Jay Allen is here to tell his story. The tattoo-clad singer/songwriter has his heart inked on his sleeve, so to speak, and sings with conviction onstage that stems from the lessons his parents taught him and the music he heard around the house. Knowing the stage was the only place he wanted to be, and so Jay packed his bags and moved to Nashville. Working day and night, Jay has achieved major milestones in the course of the past few years: he’s signed a publishing and development deal with Sony/ATV publishing, enlisted management team Edge Artist Management and released a five-song EP, which produced his first hit single Sounds Good To Me dubbed a Highway Find on SiriusXM’s The Highway. The budding musician continued to perform and write, honing his craft with the likes of ACM-nominated songwriter Phil Barton and Lindsay Rimes, both credited as co-writers on his debut single. Born and raised in rural Iowa, Jay discovered his love of performing one Sunday amidst the congregation of his church, Jay initially attempted singing harmonies with the ladies, much to the chagrin of his pastor. Proving his chops, he was invited to sing solo the following Sunday and thus, a passion was born: “There’s nothing like being on the stage. When the lights come up and the band starts playing and I get behind that mic , I’m alive. To spending every day writing, then see your songs come to life on a record, then see people laughing and dancing along, it’s heaven on earth.”

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist, Astoria sculpts sonics with both organic and synthetic sounds, birthing experimental pieces that bridge genres. The Asheville based artist explores trip hop, soul, sky wave, hip hop, pop, folk and ambient, and the project is always evolving to reflect new influences. Astoria has a voice and lyricism that evoke ethereal, colorful, and mystical worlds, while gracefully shifting into phonetic flows that have blunt, earthy, and soulful qualities as well. Their exploration of sonic arrangements creates distinct and enticing atmospheres, ranging from bright and vibrant to dark and bewitching.
Astoria’s passion and intention is to use sound to explore the subtle layers of our inner and outer experiences. To utilize music as an alchemical process that may help us discover more about ourselves through it’s unbridled expression, fascination, and experimentation.

Chris Cooper – guitars
Caleb Beissert – drums, percussion
Max Melner – keyboards, synths
Aaron Price – bass, synths, vox

***also sometimes with Rob McConnell (bass) and Jason Moore (sax)

About

Kavalactones, based in Asheville, NC, create a special blend of experimental drip noise using analog instruments, found objects, and expressionist vocals.
Biography
Little is known about the Kavalactones except that they appeared in 2013 at a strange little bar in Asheville, NC, and began expanding sonic realms with their own breed of experimental “drip noise.” The core members now consist of Caleb Beissert, Chris Cooper, Max Melner, Aaron Price, Rob McConnell, and Jason Moore with an ever-rotating cast of special guests.

An exploration of spontaneous music in context, Kavalactones play to the feeling in the room while building soundscapes that tell textured stories. Many of these “compositions” fall under the ancient genre of “drip noise,” while others contain futuristic elements of pirate jazz and space rock, such as pallasite and enstatite chondrite. Drawing from a lineage of art and design in the mountains around Asheville, NC, the band weaves ideas of chance, randomness, and the dictum of “more with less” to find just the right groove.
