Josh Roberts and the Hinges

Rebecca Frazier’s lifelong journey between mountains and coastal waters is the backdrop for her flagship album releasing Sept. 13 on Compass RecordsJosh Roberts and The Hinges are a 4 piece band out of Charleston, S.C. Embedded in their style of rock & roll are blues, country punk and soul influence that link elegant harmonies with the raunchy guitar work of Josh Roberts. Their powerful sound is uncomprimising concert goers speechless…and sometimes exhausted, yet always wanting more. Since their inception JRATH have played 100s of shows all across the country from Denver to D.C. In doing so Josh Roberts and the Hinges have shared stages with artists as diverse as George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, Band of Horses, Drive by Truckers, Shovels and Rope, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Leon Russell, Drivin n Cryin, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Billy Joe Shaver, Robert Randolph, The Whiskey Gentry, Dead Confederate, Robert Earle Keen, moe., Mutemath, The Futurebirds, The Jompson Brothers (Chris Stapleton), JGB, Moonshine Still, Stockholm Syndrome, Have Gun Will Travel, Radiolucent, Angie Aparo, Acoustic Syndicate, 7 Mary 3, Five Eight, and many more.

Ain’t Sisters

Musicfest News calls The Ain’t Sisters “A legendary must-see.” Described by Holler magazine as “A jolt of energy,” their sound is perhaps best summed up by Chat GPT: “The Ain’t Sisters’ music is so eclectic they can play you down the aisle at your wedding and fight your ex at the Waffle House parking lot all in the same night.”

Danielle Howle

Danielle Howle is a free spirit on a mission: “I want to be your friend, and I want to blow your mind,” she says. On her latest album, Current, the South Carolina songbird accomplishes both with tenderness, charm, and ease.

A lifelong artist and natural storyteller, Howle has lived a million lives in one, releasing well over a dozen studio albums in a four-decade career that has traversed genres, styles, and cultures, encompassing everything from country-swamp-blues and jazz to folk, southern rock, indie, and Americana – all while endlessly exploring the depths of the human condition. She’s opened for legends like Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt, and was a close friend of the late singer/songwriter Elliott Smith, but Howle doesn’t focus on, nor does she live in the past: Her head and her heart are in the present, as is made abundantly clear throughout her highly anticipated sixteenth studio album, Current (out November 2023 via Kill Rock Stars Nashville).

“I’ve been watching this Earth for a long time, and it’s still fascinating,” Howle says, reflecting on her work to date. “I find wonder in everything on some level. I’m still curious and captivated by the human experience; I’m a current reporter on that.”

Howle’s generation-spanning career began in the late 1980s as a part of Columbia, SC-based new wave band Lay Quiet Awhile. She later helmed her own band, Danielle Howle and the Tantrums, before finding her true calling as a solo artist. Current is a particularly intimate, up-close-and-personal record that puts Howle and her raw humanity front and center.

“I wanted to be folk as f***, man,” she laughs. “Staying very earthy and folky.”
