Tennessee-born troubadour Larry Fleet grew up on a stack of records spanning Merle Haggard, Otis Redding, Willie Nelson, and Marvin Gaye. A thoughtful songwriter with a knack for a one-liner, an ear for a sturdy hook, and a powerhouse voice that strikes like a match, Fleet was working blue-collar jobs to make ends meet long before landing his recording contract with Big Loud Records. Seven years in, the devout family man and father-of-two is turning heads with his albums as the UK’s Holler notes, “Fleet is firmly on the upward curve as one of Music City’s hottest talents to watch.” With 2021’s tribute to the music that raised him, Stack of Records, his aptly titled 2019 debut, Workin’ Hard, and his most recent 2023 release, Earned It, out now, Saving Country Music puts it simply: “If you’re looking for the future of traditional country music, then look no further than...Larry Fleet.” A road-tested live show standout, Fleet recently wrapped his headlining The Earned It Tour in addition to crowd-winning opening slots supporting Darius Rucker, Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Morgan Wallen and more. Fleet notched his first No. 1 single as a songwriter — the Wallen and Eric Church “Man Made A Bar” — earlier this year and just extended his current headlining tour including a sold-out night at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium before joining Jon Pardi’s Mr. Saturday Night Tour ahead of a string of European dates this fall.

This band is a force like no other. Creating a party wherever they go. Followed by a ravenous fan base. Every song will leave you singing along and begging for more. The area's premier party band. You have heard it all before. Most band biographies are as trite as dating website profiles and equally filled with empty promises and broken dreams. The issue here is that The Pork Tornadoes fit the mold of all the cliche statements but are reluctant to use them.Their live show does the talking for them; the shroud of mystery surrounding the band, the terribly-poor choice in band name, and the head-scratching, enormous amount of video views (14 million views on all platforms) and fans on every social media website (90,000 followers) are enough to bring curious music lovers out to a show to see what all the fuss is about.The Pork Tornadoes are a powerful party band that has played all around the Midwest at the best and biggest bars, venues and festivals. Having played more than 600+ shows in the last 12 years, this band has perfected their live show into an experience you won’t find anywhere else. The band is led by singer Mason Greve, whose is arguably one of the best vocalists in the State of Iowa and was one of 100 finalists on a Not-To-Be-Mentioned television singing program in 2014. Putting their own spin on an eclectic mix of songs from Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift to Lizzo, The Killers, Coolio and Phil Collins, they are truly one of the most versatile bands around. Their debut EP peaked on the Apple iTunes Pop charts at #20 and was streamed over half a million times in 2020. They recently achieved viral success with the 5th-most viewed cover of 'Tennessee Whiskey' on Youtube and a impromptu performance of 'In the Air Tonight' with a drum line that was featured in Rolling Stone. Regularly setting attendance records and shattering bar sales numbers, this band is a force like no other, creating a party wherever they go for their ravenous fan base, who sing along and beg for more!

The Reverend Horton Heat, a vibrant American psychobilly band hailing from Dallas, Texas, originally formed in 1985 in the Deep Ellum neighborhood, blending elements of country, punk, swing, and rockabilly into a high-energy "Country-fed punkabilly" sound. Fronted by the charismatic Jim Heath, who took on the stage name Reverend Horton Heat, the band features Heath on guitar and vocals, Jimbo Wallace on upright bass, and Scott Churilla on drums. Heath’s journey began in Corpus Christi, where he played in a cover band before attending the University of Texas at Austin. After a brief stint with the touring band Sweetbriar, he returned to his musical roots, spurred by the punk rock scene and memorable encounters like a transformative show by The Cramps. Despite a brief hiatus from the rock-and-roll lifestyle, Heath's return to music, driven by his passion and a goading from Deep Ellum’s Russell Hobbs, led to the formation of the Reverend Horton Heat. The band quickly made a mark in the local music scene, drawing crowds with their dynamic performances and securing their place as a beloved underground act. Heath’s personal struggles and creative resilience are reflected in their music, including the poignant track “Where In The Hell Did You Go With My Toothbrush?”, inspired by his own life experiences.
