The Wilson Springs Hotel is a Virginia-based five-piece known for their genre-blending sound that fuses folk, rock & roll, bluegrass, and classic country into a high-energy live experience. Since forming in 2021, the band has built a devoted following through relentless touring, standout festival appearances at DelFest, FloydFest, and Rooster Walk, and a reputation for dynamic performances packed with storytelling, humor, and raw emotion. Named after a historic hotel in Lexington, Virginia, the group pairs thoughtful songwriting with a driving, crowd-pleasing sound that explores themes of love, loss, personal growth, and the beauty and darkness that come with being alive. Their newest record, The Day the Bloodroot Bloomed, released in 2026, continues to showcase the band’s evolving sound and emotionally rich songwriting.


Appalachian Roulette is new music for old souls. If you find yourself on the edge of a ridge deep in Southwest Virginia on a foggy night, turn up the volume, and everything will be alright. You can hear the influence of Appalachian Roulette’s roots in old time, bluegrass and gospel found along The Crooked Road, but the original material of this group, featuring three songwriters, will take you to the fringe of southern rock, country, and blues. This band features the talents of Brett Morris of Galax, Virginia (vocals, guitar, bass), Carl Brickey of Bristol, TN (lead guitar, vocals), Levi Trent of Bristol, VA (drums), and Mallory Blackwood of Woodlawn, VA (vocals, guitar, bass). This dynamic trio will take you from the bar room back to church, where the heart remains.
