Hemlock Theory with Dumb Apologies and LaureNicole
Hemlock Theory Instagram / Spotify Sanford Based Rock N Roll Dumb Apologies Instagram / Spotify Dumb Apologies is a grunge band from Raleigh, North Carolina. We started out covering our favorite songs in the local area. Then we figured we should probably write our own music. Our first single is called “Icebox” and it came out February 5th. We play shows anywhere people let us. The songs are usually about whatever we think about. We use guitars and drums and our beautiful singer Dylans voice. If you like 90s rock or bands like Nirvana, you’ll probably get what we’re doing. We’re still figuring out what happens next. LaureNicole Instagram / Website Emotional Alt Rock -NC-

Late Night Lowlights with Camacho and Boost
Camacho Website / Instagram / Spotify Comprised of vocalist/keyboardist Joe Canada (yes that’s his real name), guitarist Andrew “AC” Segler, drummer Alex Powell, bassist Heath Brister, and guitarist Mac Macdonald, Camacho’s infectious sound is enriched by each member’s diverse influences. From the psychedelic textures of Pink Floyd to the punk energy of The Damned, their music is a captivating blend of styles that resonates with audiences. Camacho invites listeners to join them on this journey of exploration and connection through their melodies. Late Night Lowlights Instagram / Spotify Late Night Lowlights is the brain child of Aaron (bass), Michael (keys), and Gabe (drums). Ask our bassist what our genre is and he’ll go on a spiel about how we’re pioneering the Doom Jazz frontier, but we also accept jazz funk, jazz fusion, modern jazz math, hard noir, and progressive jazz rock. It’s difficult to pigeonhole our sound into one category when we’re constantly evolving and challenging ourselves to play unique rhythms, chord progressions, and basslines. Doesn’t matter what label you want to slap on our band; all that matters is that at the end of the day, our band SLAPS.

Jesse Fox with Roxanne Fortney and Sam Thorn
Jesse Fox Apple Music / Spotify / Youtube / TikTok / Instagram North Carolina–born singer-songwriter Jesse Fox is carving a space of his own in the modern Americana landscape. His upcoming album Magnolia (2026) captures the warmth and weight of Southern storytelling; songs that move between heartbreak, renewal, and quiet resilience. Even before its release, the record has surpassed 100,000 streams through early singles like “Leave” and “If I’m Warm,” which have resonated with listeners for their emotional depth and unguarded lyricism. Produced by longtime collaborator Phil Amalong, Magnolia features Emerson Swinford (Rod Stewart) on guitar, mixes by Audrey Whitfield, and contributions from a wide circle of North Carolina musicians. Blending folk intimacy, indie texture, and soulful craftsmanship, Magnolia stands as Fox’s most confident and cohesive work to date, a testament to his evolution as an artist and to the creative community that surrounds him. Roxanne Fortney Spotify / Apple Music / Instagram Roxanne Fortney is a local songwriter from Chapel Hill, NC who uses storytelling and intentional lyricism to sing softly about life’s nuances…love, loss, the everyday, and faith to relate to and inspire listeners. She has a folk/singer-songwriter style with soft rock influences. Sam Thorn Bandcamp / Instagram Sam Thorn makes music as an anchor for an increasingly wobbly world. His songs are time capsules of quiet moments, real and imagined, plucked from the past or fished out of the fuzzy future – often gentle, sometimes sad, always in search of some small shard of truth. Born in England and raised in California, he and his hound dog now roam North Carolina in a converted school bus, noses to the ground, instruments at the ready in case of a spontaneous jam. You might also find him sitting in on saxophone with Chapel Hill’s resident barroom bruisers The Rattletraps.
