Ty Toomsen and the Twang City Smokers (Columbia, Mo)
Get ready for a boot-stompin’, guitar-pickin’ good time! Ty Toomson and the Twang City Smokers bring their signature blend of country, rock, and Americana for a night of toe-tapping tunes.
Fred Love and the Bakersfield Brawl (Ames, IA)
Fred Love is an Americana singer, songwriter and guitarist from Ames, Iowa. He mixes country and roots influences with a DIY/punk delivery to create a ruggedly original musical approach. He often performs as a solo artist but also teams up with drummer Cal Rebuhn and bassist Pat Blair, forming a sizzling cowpunk three-piece known as Fred Love and the Bakersfield Brawl.
Marques Morel (Mt Carroll, IL)
Marques Morel is an American songwriter/story-teller, midwestern-twanger/folksinger, guitar-thumper/harmonica wailer, street-performer/wandering troubadour, steadfast woodcutter/migrant worker, a father, a son, and a friend to all.
