David LaMotte is an inspiring, compassionate singer, songwriter, guitarist, author, and speaker from Montreat, NC. We’ve enjoyed having him in Studio B and playing his recordings over the years. Now we’re excited to welcome him and another great regional artist, Chinobay, before their Tryon performance with Chris Rosser and River Guergarian. A native of Uganda, Chinobay now calls Rutherford County home, and the two have been involved in an exciting collaboration this past year!

ISMAY is the work of Avery Hellman, who is, among other things, a rancher, podcaster, poet, and now cofounder of a new record label (Fossil Records, with Margo Cilker). They have a new album coming out on June 12th. "They tread the fertile ground of nostalgia yet never make anything sound old, dated, or retro. They’re as important an artist as when Jewel, Paula Cole & Joan Osborne first arrived." — Americana Highways. ISMAY paid us a visit to the air studio back in 2024 (as seen in the photo).

"Since forming Yarn in 2007, Christiana has steered the band from a scrappy New York City bar residency to sharing stages with Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Alison Krauss, and Leftover Salmon. Drummer Robert Bonhomme and bassist Rick Bugel have remained Yarn’s core alongside Blake Christiana as the group has evolved through more than 10 albums and 17 years on the road. It’s appropriate that most of the video was filmed in a barroom as the music blends bluesy, boozy rock and roll swagger with outlaw country and Memphis soul." – Glide Magazine. The band is in the midst of a major nationwide tour, which includes 185 King Street in Brevard on May 9th.

It’s Taj Mahal! We’re excited to share with you this strong album of soul, roots, folk, reggae, and blues from one of the cornerstone architects of American music. Originally recorded in 2010 alongside Taj’s longtime collaborators the Phantom Blues Band — a three-decade partnership responsible for GRAMMY-winning albums Señor Blues (1997) and Shoutin’ in Key (2000) — Time captures a shared musical language refined across decades.
