Debutants:
Debutants is a genre-blurring seven-piece string band based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. With roots in bluegrass, folk, Irish reels, and indie rock, their boundaryless approach to songwriting and live performance has drawn comparisons to everyone from Nickel Creek to Old Crow Medicine Show, and is infused with a high-energy playful wink and a jam-band soul.
Their sound dances between vintage and modern influences, with punchy fiddle lines, blistering banjo, rich vocal harmonies, and foot-stomping grooves that swing from tender storytelling to all-out revelry. Whether they’re playing a quiet riverside ballad or an electrifying onstage hoe-down, Debutants bring a contagious energy that turns any space into a party.
Since their formation by friends Lynn Nicholson and Jon Swain, Debutants have released a string of projects – including the spirited Indiana Newgrass EP and the live-recorded River on the Moon – earning them praise for both their instrumental chops and heartfelt songwriting. Craving a sound that’s wild at heart and rich in soul? Come see the show! Debutants just may be your next musical obsession.
Hillbilly Casino:
What started as nothing more than a revved up rockabilly band playing for tips at Layla's Bluegrass Inn, on Nashville's famed Lower Broadway, has turned into a closet industry doing over 200 shows a year. Though you might still find the Casino playing at Layla's when they're home, they've taken their show on the road as well. Theatres, clubs, and backwater bars from Hollywood, California to Bergen, Norway, have seen the boys roll in, set up, and lay waste to any and all in attendance. HBC blends elements of honkytonk, rockabilly, psychobilly, and straight up rock and roll. Every member of the Hillbilly Casino brings their own special flavor to the band!
