The Big Dixie Swingers are led by a couple of lovers* and a rotating crew of gifted musicians around the States. Featuring violin, trumpet, clarinet, pedal steel and more, their sound marries a lifelong love of pre-war music with a childhood exposure to trashy 30's and 40's musicals and popular songs. We call it western swing, but it's the swing of New Orleans and the Appalachians, the swing of small bars and hot nights- heavy rhythm, heavy syncopation, a fresh clash of sound for social aid and pleasure.

Red Mountain Jug Band was formed in January 2017 by Jerrod Atkins and Corey Medders after saying farewell to their previous band of four years. During those years, they spent their days performing and busking locally and nationally, traveling the country, playing anywhere they could sit their instrument cases. From the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, the National Jug Band Jubilee and the main deck of the Belle of Louisville steamboat in Louisville, Kentucky, to center stage of the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota with Garrison Keillor for A Prairie Home Companion. The guys have seen quite a bit, been many places and listened to a lot of old 78 rpm records, honing their craft and meeting many great and talented musicians and friends along the way.
