The Caverns Sessions

Drawing on the energy of a Rock band infused with the Laurel Canyon creativity of the ‘70s, The Lil Smokies are invigorating a new approach to roots music, turning their a lively “Grassicana” sound into music that beckons the mainstream. Formed in Montana, this group has found the means to pay heed to tradition, while defining an utterly fresh and contemporary credence.

Martin Harley, Daniel Kimbro and Sam Lewis serve up slow-cooked songs reminiscent of an early American songbook; celebrative pieces highlighting Daniel’s Appalachia roots, Sam’s Nashville tones and Martin’s world-traveling blues. Individually, they have worked with some of the biggest names in the music business. This is thinking, soulful, acoustic Americana at its finest.

HARLEY, KIMBRO & LEWIS perform 'Tokyo.'

West Virginian Sierra Ferrell says, “I want my music to be like my mind is—all over the place.” Swirling her spellbinding voice with time-bending sensibilities, Ferrell makes music that’s as fantastically vagabond as she is herself, transporting audiences with a repertoire that spans Bluegrass, Techno, Goth metal, Jazz, and cowboy music with undertones of Latin and the blues.

Proud, black and queer, Allison Russell carries stories of tremendous weight and commands the spotlight in doing so.
