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)

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.
