The Busty Petites
The funk-rock quartet out of Oxford, Mississippi includes four members, Will Smith on lead guitar, Hall Hastings on drums, Lake Wilkinson on rhythm guitar, and Jack Houk on bass. 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
Born and raised in Annapolis, MD, Indie R&B/Soul outfit, Little Bird, now hails from Charleston, SC. 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.
With the release of Familiar, and a consistent, impressive live performance, Little Bird has received acclaim in their new hometown, being voted the 2018 Charleston City Paper “RnB/Soul Band of the Year”. 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.

Proud Larry’s Presents…
Harlan (Memphis, TN)
https://hrln.bandcamp.com/
“a soaring, emotional indie-rock jammer” – Gorilla Vs. Bear
“Memphis-based Harlan Hutton battles the anxiety-inducing moments of a new relationship on this upbeat indie-pop banger.” – The FADER
“Harlan are stuck in a maze of feelings on dizzying new single “Anyways”’ – The Line of Best Fit
“It all feels so genuinely real and thought out” – We All Want Someone to Shout For
“Harlan Hutton’s voice conjures images of fellow indie-rock queens like Lauren Mayberry (CHVRCHES) or Molly Rankin (Alvvays). The rest of the band is a perfect compliment, running the gamut between peppy indie-pop and swimmy psych-tinged guitar rock.” – BuffaBlog
“There is something quite wonderful in the just under three minute song – Forever Endeavor – that just demands one more play… you just know Harlan is a musician from whom you want to hear much more.” – Emerging Indie Bands

Ritch Henderson (Tupelo, MS)
2019-07-29 19:30 - 21:00 | Blue Canoe, 2006 N Gloster St, Tupelo, MS, 38804, US
Ritch Henderson at the Blue Canoe in Tupelo, MS!
With songs about love, life, and the occasional deals with the devil, Tumbleweed Festival headliner Ritch Henderson has taken the underground music scene by storm. Hailing from the great state of Alabama, and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Ritch is able to write songs about life from a bold new perspective and a voice that will damn near blow you out of your boots. He has been likened to artists such as Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, and The Turnpike Troubadours. His music is certainly an eclectic blend of the environment in which he was raised and could be considered anything from Country and Soul, to Rock and Roll. Buckle up and enjoy the ride because this gentlemen is a force to be reckoned with in the very near future.
