The Busty Petites pride themselves on live performances, striving to provide a different musical experience at each of their shows. The band members combine their range of influences to create soulful leads and refreshing improvisations, effectively bringing a busty blend of music to their listeners. The Busty Petites, while continuing to play live shows, are working on their debut album, which will echo the styles heard in the band’s demo. Influences range from the classic funk tunes of The Meters and Curtis Mayfield to pioneers of live improvisational blues rock such as The Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers Band.
Little Bird

They are currently touring their 2018 release, Familiar, which reflects the sonic alchemy of a broad range of musical influences, such as legendary artists, D’Angelo and Erykah Badu, along with revered modern acts, Hiatus Kaiyote, Fat Freddy’s Drop, and Nick Hakim.

New members Ben Mossman (Bass), Oleg Terentiev (Drums), Noah Jones (Piano) have joined originators Jay Hurtt (Guitar/Vocals) and James Rubush (Guitar) to create the sound heard on Familiar, and continue to develop their sound with material set to be released in 2019. Familiar was released in April 2018, recorded with Engineer/Producers Shane Woods, and Jeff Lucci (Mo Lowda & the Humble) recorded at Headroom Studios (Philadelphia, PA) in October 2017.
Formed originally in 2014 as the brainchild of Jay and James, the group began began relentlessly touring throughout the East Coast in early 2017 on the heels of their self-produced record “Groove” (2015). The early and new sounds of the band landed them gigs performing and headlining festivals such as Silopanna, EastPortaRockin’, Savannah Stopover along with sharing bills with the likes of G. Love & Special Sauce, Zach Deputy, Boy Named Banjo, Jimmies Chicken Shack, The Hip Abduction, Caroline Rose, Stop Light Observations, Mo Lowda & the Humble and many more.

Parents from Mississippi moved to Queens New York for a better job opportunity where I was born and reared. Due to domestic violence in the marriage and eventually, divorce had an impact on our family. First-hand experience with the judicial system with my brother watching my brother go to prison and the hopes of returning to make a change but could not due to a criminal background and no resources available( therapy included) no company willing to chance it; prison became a revolving door because of drug sale and use.
Growing up experiencing these trials lead me to begin Paroled2pride in 2007. The mission to assist non-violent felons with transitioning back to families communities and society through job training placement restitution and probation fees. Assessments are performed on each participant upon acceptance in the program and before completion. Training curriculum provided by American Hotel Educational Lodging Institute the certifying body for the hospitality industry with an accredited certificate is earned upon completion of the three-month training. Each participant is required to volunteer through our partnerships to give back to their communities in hopes to build self-esteem and commitment to the community which gives also a sense of being productive. Professional environment training exposes a participant to corporate America and teaches how to gain confidence on thriving in a corporate environment. Participants are trained to receive and apply constructive criticism and problem-solving in critical situations. Assessments performed on each participant assist in identifying a career path that they are passionate about while teaching faith and purpose. Through donations, participants are provided corporate attire and taught how to shop for affordable and appropriate attire for business
Our team vision is dedicated to ending the cycle of the judicial system and its effect on families as well as community one person at a time by providing resources available to non-violent offenders that can assist in positive choice making to be productive in our society.

Hovvdy & Lomelda at Proud Larry’s
Proud Larry’s Presents…
Hovvdy
Hovvdy (pronounced “howdy”) is the writing and recording project of Charlie Martin and Will Taylor. The duo, both primarily drummers, first met in the fall of 2014 and quickly bonded over a love for quiet music. Within a few weeks, they had combined songs and began recording their first EP in bedrooms and family homes across Texas.
By 2016 the two had committed to each others growth in songwriting and recording, resulting in their debut album Taster, originally released on Sports Day Records and reissued in 2017 by Double Double Whammy. They followed this in 2018 with the release of Cranberry , which Pitchfork described as, “Foggy, warm, and wistful, it sounds like faded time.” Hovvdy has found a unique identity in rhythmic, down-tempo pop songs that are hopeful, yet melancholy; relatable, yet distinguishable.
Lomelda
Lomelda began in Silsbee, TX, in 2008, when Hannah Read found a few friends to play her songs with her. The project continues to follow this model, songwriting and friendship at the core, studying the distance between “you” and “me” with each new release.
Early recordings, mostly lost, include works such as ‘Late Dawn Inheritance’ and ‘Heavy Shadows’ as well as a wealth of pinhole microphone productions about family, religion, colors, dying, fantasy and finitude.
Lomelda’s first proper LP ‘Forever’ was released in 2015. Hannah collaborated with Zach Daniel (drums), Andrew Hulett (guitar) and Tommy Read (producer/engineer) to make this album. It is a highly dynamic and emotional rock band record that explores the endings of things—a friendship, a day, life.
After that release, out of a feeling of dissatisfaction, Hannah re- recorded the songs as a live performance on classical guitar. She, along with two close friends, commandeered a concert hall in Waco, TX, for the occasion. It was an effort for intimacy in a big empty space. That recording became ‘4E’ and was released in 2016.
The following year, Lomelda found new friends in record label Double Double Whammy. The project’s first release on the label came in September 2017—‘Thx’. This album features the introspective mood and dynamic range the band is known for with a new gentleness and balance; also featuring the drumming of Zach Daniel, production work of Tommy Read, and Hannah covering the rest. ‘Thx’ reached new audiences as Lomelda spent the next year and a half playing live across the US and Europe with acts such as Frankie Cosmos, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief and Florist.
Lomelda lead off 2019 with a new album called ‘M for Empathy’. With this taut song collection, Hannah reflects on communication and confusion—and attempts to come closer than ever. Hannah recorded the album with Tommy Read at Lazybones Studio in her hometown of Silsbee, TX, after a year of making a new home in Los Angeles.
