About Sam Burchfield:
Raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains of South Carolina, Sam Burchfield was brought up on Appalachian music: folk, gospel, country and southern soul. The young songwriter draws on these roots with a deep lyrical honesty that carries the tradition of folk music forward.
Burchfield’s latest album, ‘Graveyard Flower’, seeks to reconnect to the Appalachian roots that raised him. In a world of cell phones and internet distractions, this body of work beckons the listener to plant their feet firmly in the soil. Reconnect to the land, reconnect to each other; ‘Graveyard Flower’ is honest music.
Pip The Pansy:
Pip the Pansy is a flute player and indie-electronica artist. A student of the visual arts, Pansy incorporates giant blobs of dancing color and neon flower installations in her live musical performances. She loves to daydream and write about the heavens. Her biggest influences are Jordan Peterson and Grimes. She recently released Neon Garden, a self-produced album that drove Pansy into the land of chaos and back again.
Cicada Rhythm:
Born and raised in Georgia, this talented pair imitates and modernizes folk music to a rejuvenating degree. The sound of Andrea DeMarcus and Dave Kirslis exhibits skilled and articulate guitar picking honed in the dive bars of Atlanta over rolling Julliard-trained bass lines. Expect chilling harmonies, unbridled enthusiasm, some wholesome tunes and a sincere performance
