ME ND ADAM -- Pop/Indie
Me Nd Adam is an Austin, Texas-based indie electro-Americana duo featuring vocalist Adam Walker and producer Vince Winik. Following the success of their 2020 debut album, American Drip, Pt. 1, on Handwritten Records, the band has been tearing through the ATX music scene with sold-out headline performances at The Continental Club, Stubb’s Indoors, Mohawk Indoors and Far Out Lounge. After its debut in Wonderland Magazine, the album's first single “Heartbreak Kid” quickly garnered over a million streams on Spotify alone. The subsequent music video earned a nomination for Video of the Year at the Austin Music Video Awards. With songs featured on MTV and in stadium sports arenas, the "trashwave trailblazers" are known to their fans and followers for their accessibility on social media, their merch giveaways, their rambunctious behavior and, most importantly, their unique vibe — recalling classic American songwriters like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen with a twist of pop production à la Marshmello and Louis Bell. The duo followed up their Official SXSW debut with Deadbeat Mixtape in April 2022 and upcoming plays at Austin City Limits Festival, Float Festival and more. As the self-dubbed “Trashcan Cowbois” like to say, Giddy Up or Giddy Out!

DARKBIRD -- Rock
Lyrics to the first song Kelly and Brian would ever write together set the stage for the romantic waterloo that would become Darkbird.
Kelly Barnes left Los Angeles after a broken marriage resulted in a broken band. Just prior to the move, she unexpectedly hit international success, singing a monster hit called, “Get Shaky” with DJ Ian Carey. While the track and a few others were financially significant to the ex-wife and waitress, the style of music was unfulfilling to Barnes. She began to dread performing the songs and eventually became fearfully depressed.
After a tragic house fire in NYC, Brian Cole opted for a fresh start. As his belongings smoldered in the winter snow, he decided to pack up what was left and head south in search of warmer days and better luck.
Ironically, while most go to LA or NYC to make their dreams come true, Brian and Kelly found each other on the musician page on Craigslist in Austin, TX. While they had hoped to leave their pasts behind, inevitably, the heartbreaks found a place they call home in Darkbird.
After their 3rd official SXSW appearance, the Austinite darling just finished their debut album which will be released in 2021.
