The Laurelys:
Inspired by the haunting melodies of Old-Time Appalachian music and the beauty of the mountains where it originated, The Laurelys are a Newport, Kentucky-based duo comprised of husband and wife Laura and Ely Beyer.
After meeting at the start of 2020's lockdown and despite having very different musical backgrounds, the pair found their voices blending effortlessly into delicate, interwoven harmonies. Set against the clawhammer banjo, their sound evokes the centuries-old sound of the hills of Kentucky, while bringing a fresh and modern energy, telling stories of love, life's challenges, and finding solitude in nature.
Natural performers, The Laurelys play "with an energy... rarely seen or heard considering their style of music," said Jared Bowers of Cincy Music. "...melodies that certainly referenced more modern songwriting, but never strayed too far from their literal and figurative grassroots... was given to the audience with a ferocity that was, frankly, stunning."
While the married couple often play as a duo, they have also found their music to translate seamlessly to the full sound of a four-piece band, blending their folk roots with elements of rock, indie, and Americana.
Sundae Drives:
Sundae Drives is an indie rock / alt soul duo from Cincinnati, Ohio featuring singer-songwriter Adam Lee and multi-instrumentalist Nick Bop. Known for their chemistry, unique sound and intense yet intimate live performances, the pair has emotionally and sonically connected with audiences from Chicago to DC, Detroit to Nashville and everywhere in between.
Complimenting their dynamic stylistic approach are songs born from addiction, recovery, heartbreak, hope, resilience, incarceration, poverty, struggles with faith and all around vulnerability. With an effortless and charming lack of commitment to genre seemingly always on display, Sundae Drives more than make up for it with a dedication to substance and unshakable authenticity.
