** MORE ABOUT THE BANDS **
Twinsmith (Omaha)
http://twinsmith.com/
The recent Saddle Creek Records signees always appear joyful in riding the wave of their own airy melodies and ear-wormy grooves. Across quick-footed guitar springs and winding synth grooves, the Omaha indie rock quartet continues to build larger and larger musical challenges for itself. The band’s first full-length, Alligator Years comes out on Saddle Creek in May 2015, after a winter and spring full of national touring and an appearance at the South by Southwest music festival.
Freakabout (Lincoln)
http://www.freakabout.com/
Defined by Cortney Kirby’s boundless rock vocals and blasting guitar melodies, Freakabout’s debut 2015 album Don’t We All finds the Lincoln rock band at its catchiest. The four-piece has made regional strides, the last two years with a handful of tours to every corner of the Midwest.
Lloyd McCarter and the Honky Tonk Revival (Lincoln)
http://lloydmccarter.com/
Growing up in a musical family, Lloyd McCarter has long been steeped in what he calls “real country music.” After cutting his teeth in the honky-tonks of the Midwest, McCarter released “Tired of Being Me” in 2012. It’s an EP that arrived with rich country sounds, swinging steel guitars, and McCarter’s attention-grabbing drawl.
