L Shaped Lot

“Their music is a laid-back mix of Americana, a loose blend of folk and bluegrass with rich harmonies. They’ve got a solid body of originals that moves from country sing-alongs and barroom stompers to narrative stories with great hooks. And best of all, they groove together like a band that’s been playing together for years. ” DB – High Country News

Johnson’s Crossroad w/The Wild Rumpus

Johnson’s Crossroad: Formed some six years ago in the mountains of West Virginia and tested by over half a decade on the road, the passion that Minguez and Johnson share for their own acoustic crossroad – a meeting place of honest, soulful music that draws deeply from bluegrass, old country, and Appalachian old time – has brought Johnson’s Crossroad to the forefront of the North Carolina music scene.

The Wild Rumpus: Wild Rumpus blends “traileresque” orchestral and operatic melodies with the stylings of authentic rock’n’roll, pop, and electronic music. It’s our own interpretation on trailer music that uses a rather unique approach to the composition and production of very slammin’ tracks.

Thu., Dec. 9
Screen Door Porch

July 30, 2010 MIC HARRISON & THE HIGH SCORE

Country Music from Knoxville,TN

Music that anyone who’s ever held down a job and relied on music for spiritual release can relate to.
Harrison’s new album “On The Right Side of The Grass” is about the kind of characters who know that any day that you can look forward to a soft bed rather than a dirt nap is a blessing. When Harrison sings about having nothing but “a pocket full of sawdust” the former sawmill employee knows exactly …what he’s singing about. The subject of “He Gets High” is that guy everyone has worked with at least once: the man who “never missed a day of work” and never spent a day completely sober either — “he gets high, but he gets by.”
