SUSTO STRINGBAND
Justin Osborne has been performing as ‘Susto’ since 2013, when he formed a collective of fellow musicians and artists in coastal Charleston, South Carolina. Now a bona fide emissary of alt rock and treasure to the indie crowd, a lifelong calling coupled with a cosmic push of serendipitous happenstance led to his latest venture: ‘Susto Stringband’ joined by Americana vocalist Clint Roberts, clawhammer banjoist Helena Rose, and upright bassist Joey Brown (now Holler Choir).
Lightning struck as an immediate connection and artistic chemistry captured a new sound and visualization that unfolds on Susto Stringband’s debut release from New West Records, simply titled "Susto Stringband: Volume 1." Nine of Osborne’s ballads, refrains and heart wrenching confessions, now drenched in the singular Appalachian sound of Holler Choir’s verdant harmonies and stringed arrangements. Still, steeped in the emotive punch of the traditional string band sound, Susto Stringband presents an Arcadia like vision of pastoralism and and harmony with nature, but with Osborne’s lyrics, there are landmines to dodge and mountains to climb

FREDDIE MCCLENDON
Timeless rebel meets Southern gentleman.
Freddie McClendon is a rising force in American music—a bold synthesis of country, soul, and rock & roll, carried by a voice that hits like a freight train wrapped in velvet. Rooted in small-town South Carolina, he delivers the swagger of a headline act and the heart of a hometown storyteller.
His sound feels timeless yet fresh, conjuring the raw power of Otis Redding, the fire of early Elvis, and the grit of Johnny Cash. His original songs, magnetic live shows, and deep connection with fans are defining his trajectory.
