BLACKWING SHOWCASE LINEUP:
WILLY TEA TAYLOR
Willy Tea Taylor is a father, brother, and son. His remarkable ability to write subjects in a simple yet profound way makes his songs a great place to lose yourself. Much of that comes from his upbringing surrounded by rolling hills and horses in a small town in California known as the “Cowboy Capital of the World”. Willy Tea Taylor’s new album “The Great Western Hangover” is releasing on Oct. 27th via Blackwing Music.
JOHNNY IRION
Troubadour Rocker, Johnny Irion has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting artists across the folk-rock spectrum. There’s something kind of timeless in the way he wrings out the sweetest melodies and deeper passions of both ‘60s Californian rock and Guthrie-era folk, and something so timely about the way he does it. Listen to Johnny Irion’s latest album “Working My Way Down” released via Blackwing Music.
LAURA CANTRELL
Nashville born, New York-based singer-songwriter, archivist, and disc jockey, Laura Cantrell is an expressive, modern performer deeply rooted in traditional country music.Well-known as a recording artist with a devoted following in the US and UK, and as the host of “Dark Horse Radio,” a program devoted to George Harrison on SiriusXM’s The Beatles Channel.
CHATHAM RABBITS
Chatham Rabbits exemplify North Carolina’s tradition of producing artists who embrace the state’s many cultural resources and diverse musical traditions. In their marriage and in their music, Chatham Rabbits’ Austin and Sarah McCombie also blend their own histories into a shared musical experience.
