St. Paul and The Broken Bones is a soul-based rock octet based in Birmingham, Alabama. The eight-piece ensemble brought soul, funk, R&B and rock together with the release of its sophomore album “Sea of Noise” in 2016 under the young label RECORDS. The group has accomplished large-scale tours in North America and Europe and opened for the Rolling Stones.
Singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Rayland Baxter is an alt-country musician based in Nashville, Tennessee. After the release of his first album “Feathers & Fishhooks” in 2012, Baxter signed with ATO Records and shortly after began a tour. Baxter released his second album “Imaginary Man” in 2015, merging pop, indie and gospel all into one. He has toured alongside many musicians such as Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
LV Baby, an Atlanta, Georgia-based artist, is part of an eclectic four-member group known as We Were Here. The four-member ensemble has blended its rock, soul, hip-hop and jazz sounds into a genre the group coins as “the fuse.” LV Baby released his first album “Smallville” in 2015, and his 2017 single “Super Powers” featuring Pell has generated significant interest from fans and followers. LV Baby made an appearance on MSU’s Music Maker Presents television show in 2017.
