We are a five piece band from Austin, TX bringing you late-night heart worn Folk Rock. Carry Illinois was founded in August of 2013 and is: Lizzy Lehman (lead vocals/songwriting/rhythm guitar), Derek Morris (keyboard), Darwin Smith (lead guitar/backing vocals), John Winsor (bass/backing vocals), and Rudy Villarreal (drums). Free Week 2016 Live Show Review: "Led by Lizzy Lehman, the group managed to carve out some of the most simultaneously beautiful but stern notes which became twice as haunting when coupled by Lehman’s lyrics which deal in the misrepresentations people go through frequently in our society— both internally and out in the world. I enjoyed watching the piano player in particular while he felt out the most wrenching progressions available to him to back up Lehman’s soaring vocals."--Carlos Matos/Ovrld Find us here: carryillinoisband.com Follow us on Instagram: @carryillinois

A dark and twisted evil swept over the hills and down upon the great City of Weird, targeting those individuals who live there lives for the bass. Thousands of people were thrown into pandamonium as the dark fog drew closer and closer. Just as the Weirdonians were certain their lives would be forever changed for the worst, a flash of light streaked across the sky and a hero emerged in front of the fog. Immediately the hero put both hands out in front of him, and bursts of energy shot out of his hands summoning a set of blue and silver turntables. These weren't just ordinary turntables though, no, these were magic turntables. The hero started spinning and turning, magical auras flying everywhere, filling the city with magical electro-house. The evil fog then began to fizzle out as the magical bass destroyed the evil fog for good. The City of Weird was saved! Suddenly the hero took flight, and did a hover over the city for security purposes. The citizens of Weird noticed his name across his chest, and began chanting throughout the streets, "Saltz! Saltz! Saltz! Saltz!"

Reed Turner is an high energy brand of indie folk delivered with an Americana swagger.

We are a 4 piece rock band from Austin, TX. Our style combines aspects of modern rock as well as psychedelic indie rock. Featuring two unique songwriters and a rhythm section that comes from a jazz background, our sound is both versatile and tight.

StoneKracker has come up with the unique musical brand of "anything goes". As the members of the band are all very diverse in their musical influences, they need an outlet that would satisfy all of their sides and experience like no other previous project had. They were able to come up with a sound that punches you in the gut with its rawness, honesty and frenetic energy all while delivering a highly spirited live show that never disappoints. When asked what type of music StoneKracker is, that's how they respond! StoneKracker just simply IS! They can be and do anything they want musically. With three CD’s previously recorded to their credit, and with the 2015 release of their "The Book of Crazy" EP, StoneKracker has been featured on local radio stations, topped the charts on international music internet sites, opened for national touring acts, and landed showcases in Austin's SXSW festival and on the VANS WARPED TOUR.... In other words.... StoneKracker IS!

“I'm a Houston kid who's been writing, playing and recording music for over 12 years in Austin. I’ve been fortunate to play my music on all kinds of stages across the country and to release six albums. It's a labor of love and at this point, my life's work.” After the release of five independent albums with various band mates – two under Shawn Nelson, one with Shawn Nelson & The Good Buds, two with Shawn Nelson & The Ramblers, Shawn marks his sixth release with “The Devils River” - a throw-back country album dipped in some americana sauce. “This Devils River record has been a long time coming. I’ve played these songs for many years in honky-tonks, bars, clubs, dancehalls, big stages, small stages, backyard parties, campfires, patios, hotel rooms, motel rooms, parking lots, farmers markets, flat-bed trailers, boats and even buses. Some of the songs are set closers, but all of them come from the heart and some of them are even true.” All the songs are written by Shawn, except for “Diamonds Don’t Shine In The Dark” and the title track, “The Devils River”. “Diamonds” was written with Shawn’s long time mandolin player and Good Bud, Fletcher Murchinson. “The Devils River” was written with Will Dupuy on the way back to Austin from Bandera, Fletcher was asleep in the back seat of the van. Will recorded and released his version of “The Devil’s River” on his band’s latest release, La Tampiquena. Some of the finest musicians in Austin helped Shawn breathe life into these songs. Fellow Good Bud drummer and producer, Patrick Herzfeld, manned the control board, engineered and mixed the record at his new studio outside of Austin, Signal Hill, and also played drums and piano on the record. Long-time Austin guitar hero, Wayne Sutton of Sister 7 added his licks and riffs to the entire album and Will Dupuy of The South Austin Jug Band popped in to add all the vocal harmonies and upright bass on a few numbers. The bluesy-two-stepper “Tighten Up” and the bluegrass fueled “My Old Time Gal” features fiddler Noah Jeffries of Milkdrive. “I’m lucky to call the musicians who played on the album, my friends. Every one of them is a fine soul and they believe in my music. I write most of my songs in solitude on a guitar or the piano, but for me, my music really comes alive when others are involved and that collective vibe and spirit is created - these guys made that happen and for that I am eternally grateful." Shawn has shared all kinds of stages with all kinds of bands, from Gruene Hall with Asleep At The Wheel and Stubb’s with Drive-By Truckers to Shinyribs at Continental Club and Bungalow on Rainey Street for his weekly 2Fer1 show with fellow Austin songwriter, Graham Wilkinson. “I am a songwriter, singer and player. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, a Gibson J-45. I call her The Workhorse and she earns every inch of that name. I love to write songs, but there's nothing better than playing music for folks, it’s what got me here and what keeps me going.“

Following last year’s release of Fouled Out’s freshman EP and music video, We Got Problems, the band is soon returning to the studio to record a new single. They will also soon be announcing the release date for their next music video, What Is Life. After just returning from a stint on the road, the band is already busy planning their next tour that is set to launch in May. The power trio’s crispy, raw driven riffs and hooks of classic rock are tightly held together by their time-changing-funk-inspired rhythm section, layered with the vocal pitch of the early 90s. Alex Khoury (guitar, vocals), John Hedges (bass, backing vocals, circus whistle), and Jimi Heuer (drums, sunglasses), though hailing from all over Texas, they met at a storage complex in Austin, TX where they set up their studio space. After a short, impromptu jam session and realizing that they all owned a cat, the members realized they had solidified their line-up. Fouled Out is a two-time “Official Showcasing Artist” at the SXSW festival. They have enjoyed radio play from Midland, TX to Dubai. They recorded their first single, “Smile From A Veil” produced by Brion Gamboa, followed by “One More Step” produced by Greg Dorris. By late 2013 the band had picked Tim Dittmar (drummer of Bo Bud Greene) to produce their freshman EP, We Got Problems. Fouled Out is proud to announce a new music video, What Is Life, and their return to the studio with Tim in early 2015 to record a new single.

Two individuals, one from small town Indiana and one from Shanghai, met in Austin on the first day of 2013 with the goal to make music that was different. COSMS is the product of their intersection. Influenced by many of the same bands (Tortoise, Mogwai, Battles) from a world away, Damen (formerly of Duck Fight Goose) came to Austin from Shanghai and began to play with Josh on bass. They recorded their first EP at Ohm Recording Facility in Austin shortly after their initial meeting in March of 2013 and returned for another in the winter of 2014. Their new EP, "Arteria," was released on March 18, 2015 during SXSW. Though their music is heavily driven by rhythm, COSMS is far more than just a rhythm section. With an outward influence by the world around them and the use of loops, effects, and synthesizers, these two people sound like ten. We set up/break down quickly, take up a relatively small amount of space and usually work with our dear friend Ben from Night Visuals for added sensory awesomeness. Any venue/stage/house must have decent stage monitors. They are an absolute must for us as we must be able to hear each other clearly.

Tinnarose is currently working on its sophomore record while playing high energy live shows in Austin, TX.

For fans of modern prog ala The Mars Volta, Opeth, and Mastodon, influenced by the classic sounds of Rush, Metallica, and King Crimson. "Remanon sounds like the alien lovechild of Rush and Miles Davis, with Santana and Frank Zappa as godparents. It's a heady brew." Hugo Award Winning artist, John Picacio
